Water Mill

A 24/7 medical concierge may sound a touch over-the-top, but when you consider the reality of summer activities (watersports, tennis, hiking) and the accident-prone nature of the under-18 set, immediate access to excellent doctors summons a sigh of relief. The Sollis team can handle 90% of the maladies a typical ER treats, each medical center has state-of-the-art technology and amenities, house calls are no problem, and the wait time is usually zero. Naturally, top-notch service like this comes at a cost—plus a membership fee. But, for those seeking genuinely discreet treatment, medical access, and emergency care, at home or at one of the Sollis centers in major US cities, this concierge service can’t be beat.

While many consider the Hamptons an escape from the city heat, sometimes you need a vacation from your vacation. The just-opened Shou Sugi Ban House straddles the line of hotel/retreat/spa.

Fans of Erika Bloom have come to rely on her workouts in New York, Turks and Caicos, and Los Angeles. She’s added the Hamptons to the mix, with a studio tucked into a quaint, bright cottage in Water Mill plus a summer pop-up at the Amagansett barn. Some of Bloom's best instructors rotate through the East End, curating super-personalized routines that integrate pilates, yoga, the Alexander technique (for improved posture), the Feldenkrais method (for a better mind-body connection), and weight training. They're big on breathwork and alignment as a foundation for any practice, which means meditation is just as much a part of a session as working up a sweat. There's also an on-site boutique stocked with products from Tata Harper, Alo Yoga, and Sakara Life. Images courtesy of Chris Fanning.

James Mallios, one of the partners behind this Greek eatery, has been vacationing on Mykonos for the last two decades, so his time spent on the island well-informs the menu–with mainstays including whole Montauk dorade with olives, fennel, and capers, and farro salad with hazelnut, loukaniko sausage, and yogurt.

Tracy Anderson is a Hamptons local, and she opens up her normally members-only studios here in the summertime to those interested in trying the method on a pay-per-class basis. If you haven't taken a TA class before, expect impressive facilities, unique equipment, a hot and humid space, and a real challenge for the body and mind.

Set in a Herzog & de Meuron-designed building that references the area's rural architecture (it's very barn-like) and surrounded by manicured fields, the Parrish Art Museum is a great afternoon outing.

This just might be the best sushi in the Hamptons. The Chicken Teriyaki Salad and the "Tuna Sandwich" are both particularly popular choices.
