This mid-week retreat is the perfect little entry point into your best summer yet, a couple days after Memorial Day Weekend, when the mercury is rising and the Montauk vibe is relaxed and sweet. Montauk shines this time of year with typically warm temps and quieter beaches providing the opportunity to escape to “the end” before everyone descends for the season.
Solé East (our hosts) provide an effortless, relaxed, beach-club style environment that quickly feels like home and supports you instantly downshifting into retreat mode for a few days. Housed in a stand-alone Tudor style building which has been completely renovated, the rooms manage to combine that clean, crisp spacious feel with a cosiness and comfort that wraps itself around you. The grounds are spacious, lush and ingeniously landscaped into lawns and gardens with bamboo walkways. The Backyard restaurant provides our meals and overlooks the pool where plenty of chaise lounges invite you to relax to chill lounge tunes.
It all adds up to a hip little boutique hotel, 5 minutes walk from town and the ocean beach that is full of sprinklings of luxury that adds up to a pretty sweet place to land. It has a ton of great vibes and atmosphere and those little details that we all love like Simmons pillow-top mattresses, 300 thread count Italian sheets, aveda bath products, locally sourced organic cuisine, hammocks throughout the property and woodfire pits. I will organize beach walks and bicycle rides together which you can join if you like, and a visit to the Montauk Salt Cave which offers profound healing and relaxation benefits.
Plan on arriving in Montauk mid-afternoon and checking in. Then we’ll take a walk to the ocean together and we will meet for our first practice together late afternoon, before gathering for our first delicious, locally sourced organic meal and our first evening in Montauk.
