Oceanfront dune lodge
Sandy footpaths run directly from cedar-clad lodges to the Atlantic surf, with nightly s'mores around central fire pits.
“Marram is a quiet beachfront resort right on the Terrace surf break and a five-minute walk to the center of town.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
White oak lumber ceilings and tadelakt plaster walls furnish the dune-facing guest rooms.
Notable
Counter-service Latin dining at Mostrador Marram, hosting weekly asado and paella evenings.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
Marram’s aim is to bring back the laid-back, low-key hipness of the old Montauk… ‘barefoot luxury’ is the mission statement, and it’s an apt description
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The dunes open directly onto the bluffs of Shadmoor State Park, and downtown Montauk sits five minutes away on foot.
The rooms
Rooms omit televisions for quiet, pairing Suar wood furniture from salvaged fishing boats with crisp Frette linens.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated freshwater sits right at the dune edge, where morning yoga and meditation overlook the Atlantic surf.
Restaurant
Mostrador Marram
An open counter showcases daily baked alfajores and market salads, alongside wood-fired local seafood and South American wines.
The rooms themselves are a retreat within a retreat, each with a subdued, earthy palette and organic feel to mirror the nature you’re encased within.
How it began
Originally a 1967 motel, the property takes its name from the wild marram grass that anchors the surrounding coastal dunes.
“Exposed white oak beams complement hand-textured plaster walls, while handwoven rugs…add a cosy and inviting feel.”
