Spanning over five acres in Water Mill, Shou Sugi Ban House is a private sanctuary and gated wellness compound in the pastoral hamlet of Water Mill, just 90 miles outside New York City. The property – the Hamptons’ first destination spa and wellness retreat – comprises thirteen guest studios, a luxury spa, and two standalone luxury residences for short-term rentals. The restful accommodations are set against a serene backdrop of winding pathways, rock water fountains, and an outdoor dining orchard, all designed with the principles of wabi-sabi in mind. Shou Sugi Ban House was named the #2 Top Destination Spa Resorts in the U.S. in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards, and the #3 Best Destination Spas in the U.S. in Travel + Leisure’s 2022 World’s Best Awards.
