Haute In The Hamptons

HRH Tengku Zatashah and Aubry Mennesson take in the luxurious, laidback charm of the Hamptons – America’s nonpareil playground of the rich and famous.

The Hamptons in Long Island, New York, is, for us, the idyllic summer haven. We’ve been going there for over a decade and it’s most certainly the playground of the rich and famous for New Yorkers who can’t wait to get out of the hot steamy city and hit the cool beaches.

The Hamptons is fresh, fun, cool and glamorously chic. Made up of charming villages with beautiful stately homes, such as Southampton (realm of the Old Money), Bridgehampton (polo playground), East Hampton (New Money/ showbiz crowd), Montauk (farthest point of Long Island and famous for its lighthouse), Watermill (listed as the 14th most expensive zip code in the United States by Forbes), Sag Harbor (whaling port), Amagansett… there is so much to discover and even the drive there is nothing short of beautiful!

So, in this month’s column, we bring you all our favourite hotspots, events, and hangouts of the Hamptons, where you can mingle with the “locals” like Steven Spielberg, Martha Stewart, P Diddy, Russell Simmons (Kimora Lee Simmon’s ex), Billy Joel, Jay-Z, Alec Baldwin, Kim Cattrall, Ralph Lauren, Tom Hanks, Jerry Seinfeld and Sarah Jessica Parker.
