This summer, the hardest reservation to score in the Hamptons isn’t dinner—it’s a facial. Between lunches at Duryea’s, beach days at Ditch Plains, and golden-hour dinners at Crow’s Nest, beauty has quietly become part of the Hamptons itinerary. Luxury brands, celebrity facialists, and skincare’s most sought-after experts are bringing their most coveted treatments Out East, turning the East End into one of the season’s most sought-after beauty destinations. Whether you’re looking for a quick glow before an event or carving out an afternoon dedicated entirely to yourself, these are the appointments worth booking before summer’s over.
The Beauty Sandwich at Shou Sugi Ban House
Celebrity facialist Iván Pol is bringing his coveted Beauty Sandwich treatment to the Hamptons this summer with a residency at Shou Sugi Ban House in Water Mill, the Japanese-inspired wellness retreat known for its serene, design-forward approach to holistic healing. Long considered one of Hollywood’s best-kept skincare secrets, Pol has become the go-to facialist for a roster of A-list clients—including Kim Kardashian and Emma Stone—who rely on his signature treatment before red carpets and major events. Combining radiofrequency, LED therapy, and Pol’s signature sculpting techniques, The Beauty Sandwich delivers an immediately lifted, brighter, more defined complexion with little to no downtime—and results that linger long after Labor Day. Snatching starts at $500. 337 Montauk Hwy, Water Mill
ONDA Beauty at Faraway Sag Harbor
ONDA Beauty has returned to the Hamptons for the summer with a seasonal residency at Faraway Sag Harbor. The pop-up brings ONDA’s sought-after practitioners Out East, offering a menu of customized treatments designed to restore summer skin. Choose from bespoke facials, lymphatic drainage massage, the signature Lift + Sculpt facial, or the Glow on the Go express treatment for a quick refresh before an evening in Sag Harbor. 31 West Water Street, Sag Harbor
La Prairie at Gurney’s Inn
La Prairie returns to Gurney’s for another highly anticipated summer season, bringing the gold standard of Swiss skincare to an exclusive ocean-view treatment suite on the East End. The hero treatment is the Out East Glow Personalized Facial, a 60-minute ritual that combines sculpting massage, cooling stones, and La Prairie’s legendary Skin Caviar collection to leave skin visibly lifted, firmer, and more radiant. Also on the menu is the White Caviar Glass Skin Facial, which combines cryotherapy and lymphatic drainage for a brighter, glass-like complexion, alongside restorative body rituals featuring the brand’s indulgent Cashmere Body Cream, leaving skin deeply hydrated with a silky, cashmere-soft finish. The best part? Every facial includes access to Gurney’s newly reimagined BathHouse, where a seawater hydrotherapy circuit, a eucalyptus steam room, sauna, and oceanfront relaxation spaces transform a treatment into an all-day wellness escape. 290 Old Montauk Highway, Montauk
ELEMIS at Montauk Yacht Club
For those who prefer their facials with a side of salt air, Montauk Yacht Club’s Wellness Cabana by ELEMIS is worth booking. Perched on the marina, the seasonal treatment space offers the British skincare brand’s signature, results-driven facials designed to hydrate, sculpt, firm, and revive sun-exposed skin. Expect best-selling formulas like the cult-favorite Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm and the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream to take center stage, alongside tailored treatments that range from quick glow-boosting appointments to longer, more restorative rituals with optional LED therapy. It’s the kind of appointment that delivers fresh, post-vacation skin—without sacrificing an entire beach day. 32 Star Island Road, Montauk
Tammy Fender at The Pridwin Spa, Shelter Island
Long before clean beauty became mainstream, Tammy Fender built a devoted following around her holistic, plant-based approach to skincare. This summer, the renowned aesthetician brings her namesake treatments to The Pridwin Spa on Shelter Island, where customized facials draw on her signature botanical formulations and intuitive massage techniques to calm, nourish, and restore the complexion. Set within the historic waterfront hotel, it’s a serene escape for those seeking results that feel as restorative as they are radiant—and well worth the ferry ride. Don’t leave without picking up Fender’s iconic Bulgarian Rose Water, a beauty editor staple that’s perfect for reviving sun-exposed skin throughout the day. 81 Shore Road, Shelter Island

Whether you’re discovering your next holy grail skincare product or perfecting your five-minute summer makeup routine, it’s the kind of insider stop worth making between shopping and lunch. 66 Newtown Lane, East Hampton
The Reform Club
For those looking to extend their self-care beyond skincare, The Reform Club offers one of the Hamptons’ most thoughtfully curated wellness experiences. Alongside restorative facials and body treatments, the Amagansett retreat features infrared saunas, cold plunges, lymphatic drainage, IV therapy, and recovery-focused therapies designed to restore both body and mind.
