Oceanfront seawater citadel

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Gurney’s has held court here for 90 years, and it excels at combining the best of old Montauk and new.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Old Montauk Highway winds past rugged coastal bluffs, seven minutes from town and the historic lighthouse at Long Island's easternmost tip.
The rooms
Neutral palettes and wooden floors frame sweeping Atlantic views through floor-to-ceiling glass, complemented by walk-in rain showers.
The seawater pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Sand-filtered ocean water fills the heated indoor pool, where floor-to-ceiling windows look straight out across the Atlantic.
The baths
Dark slate tiles line the hydrotherapy circuit, complete with caldarium baths, dual cold plunges, and an ocean-view salt room.
Spa and gym
Treadmills align directly before the ocean horizon, and treatment suites open onto private terraces above the dunes.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Gigi's serves coastal seafood beside panoramic ocean windows, and open-air fire pits warm the evening cocktail deck.
The style is minimalist nautical chic, with a neutral color palette that helps draw your attention through the floor-to-ceiling windows to the real focal point: the ocean.
How it began
Local resident Maude Gurney opened the retreat in 1926 as a modest twenty-room inn perched along the remote Montauk dunes.
