The Hamptons just welcomed its first wellness resort with the May opening of Shou Sugi Ban House. The destination spa and retreat is a private, three-acre oasis surrounded by 250 trees and 20,000 grasses. There are 13 guest studios, a main pool, demonstration kitchen, tea bar, treatment spa, roof deck, hydrotherapy pools, open-air pavilion, ceremonial fire circle, dining orchard, gardens, library and fitness center.
Located two hours from New York City, Shou Sugi Ban House channels Japanese influence through its Wabi Sabi principles in ethos and design.
“We’ve created an experience that brings people back to a simple appreciation for their natural surroundings, allows for quiet contemplation and introspection and fosters meaningful human connection in a tranquil setting,” said Amy Cherry-Abitbol, founder, Shou Sugi Ban House.
Each guest studio boasts a clean aesthetic with a white oak bed, organic mattress, traditional Japanese raised alcoves, recycled wood chairs and studio bathrooms.
The standalone spa offers five treatment rooms, a solarium deck and chromotherapy shower. Signature treatments include water massage, micro-needling facials, vibrational sound healing treatments, cupping and more.
Programming is personalized and activities can range from meditation to guided walks, fire ceremonies to sleep tonics. The culinary experience includes meals designed by the co-founder of Noma in Copenhagen. Menus are hyper-seasonal, plant-rich and locally sourced. A tea menu provides 25 different types of tea.
Stays at Shou Sugi Ban House start at $4,650 for three nights, or $395 for a half-day experience.
