The Roundtree Hamptons

Ross Fraser — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Found in the district of Amagansett, surrounded by acres of land (this was once a working farm), yet close to the shore, The Roundtree offers just 15 forms of accommodation. It has a homely, yet undoubtedly upscale feel. The main house is over a century old, although the internal decor reflects the kind of effortless, contemporary design appealing to New Yorkers heading out of town. As bedrooms take the form of suites and cottages, and there’s no restaurant on the premises, The Roundtree is better suited to families, groups and those preferring to do their own thing when it comes to dining.

Parker Palm Springs

Chrystal Webster — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Displaying a slightly bohemian, artistic flair, the Parker Palm Springs takes on Morrocan, maritime, pop art and retro American influences in its styling. The design plays beautifully with colour in the spaces and bedrooms are filled with unique, eclectic collectables. Guests can find nooks and crannies among the two swimming pools (one for families) croquet lawns, bocce courts, fruit trees and herb gardens; lie in a hammock, play ping-pong, play tennis, sip on boozy fresh lemonade and dine in the two restaurants. Those arriving at the wellness centre – The Palm Springs Yacht Club – are furnished with white cotton terry robes, flip flops and a thimble of cucumber-infused vodka.
