Montauk, Long Island, is still one of those far-flung destinations that has
managed to preserve its wild and mystical allure. Situated on the very
tip of the Island, this remote beach community welcomes Sole East, a
hotel that opened last year and affords guests the kind of relaxed beach
getaway the area has always been known for. Here, there are hammocks
throughout the grounds, wood-burning fireplaces in the gardens, and
a bocce-ball court if you have the energy in between all those luscious
naps. Rooms are minimal and serene but plush—just the right measure
of uncomplicated luxury a weary traveler looking to decompress really
craves. The 4-minute stroll to the beach is another bonus. Rooms from
$140 a night
