Hamptons Private

“The Hamptons” is synonymous with luxury. The mere mention of the name conjures up images of poolside soirees, grand oceanfront estates, and endless days on the beach socializing with the elite. But before this famous peninsula became a summer retreat for celebrities, its forty miles of sand dunes provided the perfect landscape for English settlers. Once New York’s high society caught wind of the charming hamlets and salty air, its members, from the Fords to the Vanderbilts, soon turned The Hamptons into a summer oasis. Then came the creatives seeking solitude, a place to write and draw, away from the urban cacophony.
