My stay at the Roundtree Amagansett was compensated. My views and opinion of the location and accommodation are authentically my own.
Greetings from The Hamptons! I’m thrilled to be here and take you along with me on my first-time visit.
I’ll be spending the weekend in Amagansett, located in East Hampton, just a quick 2.5-hour drive from New York City.
The East Hampton area includes Sag Harbor, East Hampton village, Amagansett, and Montauk, among others, offering plenty of beautiful beaches, restaurants ranging from casual to upscale, art galleries, social clubs, and lots of boutiques to explore. Let’s go!
As a first-time visitor, I recently stayed for the weekend at The Roundtree Amagansett, a charming boutique hotel in the heart of Amagansett village, and it did not disappoint.
From the comfortable and stylish accommodations to the convenient location and the endless things to see and do nearby, The Hamptons and The Roundtree Amagansett truly exceeded my expectations.

One can take the train, bus, drive, or hire a private car service.
Each option has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost, convenience, and time.
It’s important to consider these factors when deciding which transportation option is best for your needs.
Once you’re in town! Here’s how to get around.
