This summer, Gurney’s Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa marks a major milestone: 100 years as the Hamptons’ only luxury year-round resort set directly on the beach. Since opening in 1926, Gurney’s has evolved from Maude Gurney’s original inn into a beloved coastal destination known for its sweeping ocean views, elevated hospitality, and commitment to innovation—all while preserving its rich heritage.
Today, the resort offers 158 rooms, suites, and beachfront cottages, each designed to maximize its unparalleled oceanfront setting. Guests enjoy exclusive access to a private Beach Club, multiple dining destinations, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and the celebrated Seawater Spa—a 30,000-square-foot wellness destination centered around its signature seawater-fed indoor pool.
In honor of its 100th anniversary, Gurney’s Montauk will celebrate a century of beachfront hospitality with a season defined by legacy, style, and forward-thinking experiences. From its transformation into a year-round retreat in 1956 to the debut of the Seawater Spa in 1979 and its modern renaissance beginning in 2013, the resort continues to set the standard for luxury on the East End.
Guests checking in this summer will experience:
- Dolce & Gabbana Beach Club: Back by popular demand, the resort’s private Beach Club will once again host an exclusive takeover by Dolce & Gabbana. Guests can relax with designer-adorned loungers, umbrellas, and cabanas, all set against panoramic ocean views. The experience extends to an on-site pop-up boutique and a newly reimagined East Deck, featuring a chic beachside bar that blends high fashion with laid-back coastal living. The store will be open and available to shop until September 26.
- Elevated Wellness with La Prairie: The La Prairie Summer Pop-Up returns to Gurney’s Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa through September 11, offering an exclusive ocean-view wellness experience rooted in the brand’s signature blend of Swiss science and luxury. Guests can indulge in two high-performance facials designed to lift, firm, and illuminate the skin, alongside newly introduced body treatmentsthat focus on rejuvenation, circulation, and full-body radiance. Inspired by La Prairie’s heritage of cellular therapy and its use of rare, indulgent ingredients, the limited-time pop-up delivers a highly personalized, results-driven approach to summer skincare.
- Expanded Summer Fitness Series: Gurney’s will debut an expanded Summer Fitness Series, which brings the best fitness studios and instructors to the Hamptons each year, offering a schedule of high-energy classes like Pilates, HIIT, yoga, and more. Classes will take place on the Spa Deck overlooking the beach and Atlantic Ocean, giving guests immersive ways to stay active and energized—from beachfront workouts to restorative sessions—all set against the backdrop of the Atlantic.

Designed to showcase the depth and diversity of the resort’s wine portfolio, each one-hour experience features a rotating selection of wines, spotlighting distinct producers, regions, and styles. Guests will have the opportunity to engage with expert partners, discover new favorites, and gain a deeper appreciation for the stories behind each bottle, all within a relaxed, social setting.
