The Best Things to Do in Montauk, New York | Condé Nast Traveler

"Best for a luxury‑at‑your‑fingertips stay that flaunts Montauk’s glitzy side, this lakeside resort along a popular marina reopened under new management in summer 2024 after a multi‑million‑dollar renovation—returning travelers might remember it as Gurney’s Star Island resort. Two pools split the scene: a family‑friendly spot down on the dock near the padel courts and a spacious, buzzy adults‑only pool by the outdoor cocktail bar. Even if you aren’t staying, the glitzy bar hosts live music on Fridays and the newly opened Privé Padel courts can be booked by non‑guests." - Jessica Chapel
