Request a quoteShou Sugi Ban House is a five-star Japanese-inspired wellness resort and destination spa in Water Mill, in the Hamptons.
The property opened in 2019 as the first destination spa in the Hamptons, a gated compound on a few quiet acres two hours from New York City. The design follows Japanese wabi-sabi principles: charred wood, natural materials, calm throughout. 13 standalone studios with soaking tubs, gas fireplaces, and garden patios.
The wellness programme is the focus, covering massage, facials, hydrotherapy, sound baths, Reiki, yoga, and meditation, by the day or over several nights. Dining is plant-forward, from Michelin-starred Chef Mads Refslund, a Noma co-founder. A saltwater pool and an outdoor dining orchard sit alongside. An adults-only property built for slowing down, suited to a short reset or longer stay. The ocean is three miles away, with the Hamptons’ galleries and vineyards close by.
The food and drink at Shou Sugi Ban House alone justifies the visit. The Executive Chef Mads Refslund was a co-founder of Noma, the Copenhagen restaurant that inaugurated the New Nordic dining movement.
All the food is plant-forward and made from locally sourced ingredients. Dining takes place around a single long table. Breakfast features Scandi favorites such as avocado with eggs and rye bread.
An extensive selection of spa treatments covers hydrotherapy, a thermal suite, a solarium deck, and a spa lounge.
The après-sauna ice fountain, watsu and plunge pools, and a thermal suite with an infrared sauna round out the offering. Wellness is the essence of the property, one of the finest dedicated wellness destinations in New York State.
Shou Sugi Ban House is in Water Mill, one of the quieter Hampton villages on the South Fork of Long Island, about 90 miles and two hours from Manhattan.
A gated compound next to the Parrish Art Museum, three miles from the Atlantic beaches at Mecox and Flying Point. The surrounding area is classic Hamptons: farm stands, vineyards, art galleries, and the towns of Southampton and East Hampton a short drive in either direction.
13 standalone guest studios, each embodying the minimalist wabi-sabi aesthetic with clean lines and warm light colours. The setting is built for clearing the mind, and the rooms are free of clutter throughout.
All studios hold pool views and open onto private gardens with a massage area. Beds are dressed in Cocuchi and Morihata linen, with bathrooms featuring Hinoki Ofuro bathtubs with in-built air massage.
