Hamptons Private invites readers to peek behind the manicured hedges in Amagansett, charter a yacht off the shore of the Springs, experience the surfer’s haven that is Ditch Plains and attend a polo match in Bridgehampton. Each page envisions the quintessential leisure of The Hamptons and showcases the unique quality of light that artist Willem de Kooning dubbed a “miracle.” One can almost hear the thwock of tennis balls at The Meadow Club, the whisperings of exclusive parties, the rhythms of seaside music at The Surf Lodge—even the first bite of a lobster roll at Lunch. The Hamptons, at once a retreat to nature and a hot spot for A-listers, exudes a boho-chic spirit reflected in its beautiful people and sublime surroundings.

Hannah F. ★★★★★

I picked this up before a weekend out east and ended up reading the Ditch Plains chapter twice—it nails the whole surfer scene there. The writing moves fast and the insider details about chartering a yacht off the Springs made me feel like I actually knew the place.

Victoria ★★★★★

The polo match chapter alone was worth it—I could practically smell the grass and hear the ponies. Picked it up for a weekend read and ended up rationing chapters just to make it last.

Nicholas ★★★★★

Didn't expect to get so pulled into the polo scene chapter, but the way it captures the whole ritual had me hooked. The yacht section off the Springs felt like a mini escape, and the writing moves fast enough that I finished it in two sittings.
