Honeymoon In The Hamptons

By Kitty Merrill

Tudor-style Southampton Inn is a local landmark on Hill Street in the Village of Southampton. The setting is perfect for intimate strolls or taking a dip in a sensual heated outdoor pool. After sunset, lounge in a library highlighted by a fireplace and piano after dining at the poplar OSO

of local wineries. There are even winery/ B-25 bicycle tours for those looking to take a leisurely ride through the pastoral region. Is shopping more your style? The new luxury Hilton Garden Inn Riverhead and the Hotel Indigo East End are both just a hop away from the incomparable Tanger Outlet Mall. Be sure the check with area chambers of commerce for more ideas for your Hamptons honeymoon.

February 9, 2011

You’ve kissed and toasted, tossed the bouquet and garter. Now it’s time for what many couples believe is the best part of their wedding experience – the honeymoon. The East End offers an array of romantic destinations, inns, hotels, b&bs and resorts for the newlyweds’ first vacation as a married couple. From the miles of oceanfront beauty and kitschy downtown shopping of Montauk to the pastoral loveliness of the North Fork’s wine country, to the charm of historic villages like East Hampton, Southampton, Westhampton and Quogue, Long Island’s Twin Forks offer a panoply of special places to celebrate your first days together. Below, find a listing of just a few of our favorites. Be sure to check with area Chambers of Commerce for a full slate of places to stay . . . and play! When it comes to the Lighthouse District, nothing compares to the gracious Gurney’s Inn Resort and Spa. The incomparable locale offers gorgeous beach frontage for daytime sunning, awesome dining for dinner and daytime snacks, plus nightlife. Bad weather? No problem. Visit the full service spa if the weather outside is frightful. Another favorite on Old Montauk H i g h way, Th e Pa n o ra m i c , o f f e r s spectacular ocean scenery. Heading west, the Sea Crest on the Ocean, on the Napeague Stretch between Montauk and Amagansett offers splendid ocean views, luxury rooms with balconies, an outdoor heated pool and tennis courts. Located in one of the nation’s prettiest villages, c/o The Maidstone in downtown East Hampton boasts 19 rooms in categories described as “divine, magnificent, fabulous and cozy.” A historic landmark, The Hedges Inn features stunning guest rooms, exquisite gardens and a charming front porch overlooking Main Street. Nestled in the heart of East Hampton Village, the Huntting Inn is the perfect country retreat, not to mention home of the famed Palm Restaurant. All three fabulous inns are within walking distance of the ocean beach and East Hampton’s exclusive downtown shopping.
