A LUMIRA Guide to the Hamptons: Where to Stay, Shop & Explore

Sunlight, Salt Air & Slow Rituals

There is a particular light in the Hamptons.

It arrives in the early morning over dune grass and wild hydrangeas. It lingers across farm stands, cedar-shingled cottages and long lunches that stretch into golden hour. It feels effortless, but never accidental.

This season, LUMIRA has arrived in Water Mill as the official scent partner of FS8 Summer House, bringing our world of perfumed escapism to one of the East Coast's most beloved summer destinations. Whether you're escaping New York for a weekend or settling in for the season, consider this your guide to experiencing the Hamptons the LUMIRA way.

Save it for your next escape.

Move

Start at FS8 Summer House, Water Mill

Our first stop is always movement.

Located in the heart of Water Mill, FS8 Summer House brings together reformer Pilates, yoga and tone classes in a beautifully designed seasonal residency dedicated to movement, ritual and community.

LUMIRA scents the space throughout the summer, creating an atmosphere that feels both energising and grounding.

Arrive early. Stay after class. Browse the LUMIRA pop-up and discover the fragrances accompanying us through the Hamptons season.

Stay

For Quiet Luxury

The Reform Club

Hidden amongst orchards, gardens and beautifully considered interiors, The Reform Club captures everything we love about understated luxury. Think morning coffee beneath the trees, bicycles waiting by the gate, and a slower pace that encourages you to stay a little longer.

For Classic Hamptons Elegance

Topping Rose House

A restored nineteenth-century estate with contemporary interiors, expansive gardens and one of the East End's most sought-after dining rooms. It embodies East Coast elegance at its finest.

For Barefoot Luxury

The Roundtree

Fire pits, expansive lawns, hammocks and the feeling that nowhere else exists.

Drink

For Smoothies, Matcha & Post-Workout Rituals

After class, continue the ritual nearby.

The local favourite is Hampton Coffee Company in Water Mill, where freshly made juices and smoothies can be enjoyed in the garden behind the café. It feels wonderfully removed from the summer crowds and has become a morning ritual for many locals.

For something more substantial, Hampton Kitchen offers fresh juices, smoothies and nourishing breakfasts before a beach day or afternoon exploring the East End.

For those seeking a deeper wellness experience, a visit to Shou Sugi Ban House is well worth the detour. One of the East Coast's most celebrated wellness destinations, it offers a beautifully considered approach to restoration, movement and mindful living.

Shop

The Hamptons rewards wandering.

Spend an afternoon exploring Bridgehampton, East Hampton and Sag Harbor, where independent boutiques sit alongside carefully curated homewares, fashion and objects collected from around the world.

For Interiors

Our first stop is always Marders.

Set across forty acres in Bridgehampton, Marders feels part garden centre, part design destination. Wander oyster-shell pathways lined with specimen trees, rare flowers, garden antiques and beautifully collected outdoor objects. It's impossible not to leave inspired.

For Fashion, Books & Discovery

Clic in East Hampton remains one of the most beautifully curated stores on the East End. Part fashion boutique, part gallery and part design store, it embodies the kind of thoughtful luxury that resonates with the LUMIRA world.

Just a few doors away, make time for BookHampton. A beloved East Hampton institution, it is the perfect place to pick up a novel for the beach, a travel memoir for the flight home or a beautifully produced art book you'll keep for years.

For Lifestyle & Home

One of our favourite discoveries is Via Coquina.

Part Mediterranean treasure chest, part lifestyle boutique, the space is filled with hand-selected ceramics, embroidered linens, artisanal objects and thoughtful gifts sourced from Italy, Greece and beyond. It feels very much like a LUMIRA destination.

And for those looking to discover LUMIRA in person, you'll also find us throughout the summer at FS8 Summer House in Water Mill and Via Coquina in Sag Harbor.

Eat

Breakfast Worth Waking Up For

Start the day at Carissa's Bakery.

Known for exceptional pastries, artisanal breads and beautifully designed spaces, it has become a Hamptons institution for good reason.

Long Lunches By The Water

A table at Duryea's Lobster Deck is practically a Hamptons rite of passage. Order seafood, stay for the view and allow the afternoon to unfold naturally. The horizon does most of the work.

For Dinner

Reserve a table at Jean-Georges at Topping Rose House and linger through golden hour. The setting feels quintessentially Hamptons: refined but relaxed, sophisticated without trying too hard.

Explore

Parrish Art Museum

Spend an afternoon at the Parrish Art Museum, where architecture, landscape and contemporary art come together beautifully. Water Mill's creative spirit is impossible to miss.

Water Mill

Often overshadowed by its more famous neighbours, Water Mill may be the Hamptons' best-kept secret. Historic windmills, open farmland, art institutions and quiet beaches create a slower, more thoughtful rhythm.

Golden Hour at Wölffer Estate

No Hamptons guide is complete without a visit to Wölffer Estate Vineyard. Arrive just before sunset. Order a glass of rosé. Stay until the light disappears.

Aperitivo in Montauk

As afternoon turns to evening, make your way to Montauk Yacht Club.

Overlooking Lake Montauk, the recently reimagined waterfront destination has become one of the most beautiful places on the East End for an aperitivo. Order a spritz, settle into the marina views and watch the boats drift home as the sun begins to set. The property's bars and waterfront dining venues were designed for exactly this moment.

A LUMIRA Moment

This summer, you will find LUMIRA in two places across the Hamptons: at FS8 Summer House in Water Mill and at Via Coquina in Sag Harbor.

Come for movement. Stay for scent.

Browse our collection, discover your next fragrance, and take a little piece of the Hamptons home with you. Because every mood is a destination. And this season, that destination just happens to be the Hamptons.
