We Spent a Month in the Hamptons and Here Are Our Top 10 Takeaways

Sponsored

Picture this: You just arrived at a stunning East Hampton estate. After walking past the All-New 2025 INFINITI QX80 and INFINITI QX60 parked in the driveway, you head towards the backyard where you’re greeted by a gorgeous (and inviting) pool, pickleball courts, cold plunges, an outdoor wellness lounge and a dinner table set for 20. You head up to your room to find a welcome gift drop (including a luxuriously branded PATRÓN EL CIELO robe that you put on immediately). You open the itinerary and see that an exclusive workout with The Sculpt Society and a pool party with DJ sets from Tinx and Lucas are on the agenda. You immediately text your coolest friend. Wait…that’s you.

Where are you? At the Gallery Beach House , of course.

Gallery Beach House is our second annual take on the creator house in East Hampton, and possibly our best one yet. From the first-ever Torrisi Bar & Restaurant dinner experience Out East to exclusive workouts at GBH Recharge, August was a month packed with tastemakers, brands and friends. And needless to say, we’re walking away with a Notes app full of clever tips, genius products and things we just can’t gatekeep. Here, our top ten takeaways from a month at Gallery Beach House.

1. Summer Is Better with PATRÓN EL CIELO

Scott Roth

Our headlining sponsor for this year’s Gallery Beach House was PATRÓN EL CIELO (the world’s first, four-times distilled and naturally sweet prestige tequila) and the cocktail menu for the house did not disappoint. From favorites like the ‘PATRÓN Out East’ and the ‘Montauk Marg’ to newbie ‘That’s That Me Espresso Martini,’ PATRÓN had the drinks flowing all month long—but especially during their weekend pool parties . Our house DJ, Beau Cruz , as well as Tinx and Lucas and Zuri Marley , kept the vibes high with music sets throughout the month and guests of the events were treated to complementary piercings from Wildlike , body art from We Adorn You , forever bracelets by Rellery and tattoos by Paz.Ink . As for the personal pizzas? Served up by the one and only Prince Street Pizza .

2. Dinner Parties Are Better with a Private Torrisi Chef

To celebrate the partnership between Delta and Wheels Up , NBA player Kevin Love —an avid Delta and Wheels Up flyer—hosted “Perfectly Paired,” a five-course luxury culinary experience at GBH. Torrisi chefs traveled Out East to prepare their bestsellers for celebrity guests, including Bethenny Frankel and Sasha and Oli Benz. While the entire menu was a hit, guests couldn’t stop raving about the tortellini pomodoro. And don’t even get us started on the desserts (almond cheesecake and Sicilian date cake).

3. Movie Nights Aren’t Complete Without a Popcorn Bar

Scott Roth

What’s better than one flavor of popcorn? Seven. Smartfood joined us for Gallery Beach House this year to present Movie Night Under the Stars , an outdoor screening of the summer’s buzziest rom-com. Guests like Katie Austin and Dale Moss got to relax in the backyard of our beautiful Hamptons estate while sipping on those PATRÓN cocktails and enjoying our new favorite thing: A make-your-own-mix popcorn bar with flavors from cheesy to sweet, salty and even spicy. Pro tip: Pair your popcorn with a bar of Lily’s chocolate (the GBH kitchen was stocked).

4. We’ll Gladly Work Out When Après Massages and Facials Are Involved

Scott Roth

Saturday mornings at Gallery Beach House were home to GBH Recharge: An event packed with wellness and spa treatments. Workout classes were held each week by popular instructors like Matt Liotine of The Sculpt Society , BODY by MARK and Katie Austin (who was seen sporting the cutest set from Athleta ). Post-workout, guests escaped to our mini sanctuary—the Delta One ® Lounge World of Wellness—in the backyard of Gallery Beach House for a Lift Up/Cool Down facial or the Hamptons Express Massage from Blue Water Spa . Timeslots filled up quick , proving our point exactly.

5. Not to Mention Après Iced Coffees, Smoothies and Cold Plunges

Scott Roth

For those looking to reset with something cool, GBH Recharge also featured a Nine West Smoothie Bar and a Keurig® cart serving up iced coffee and refreshers using the brand’s newest K-Brew+Chill ™ Brewer. The coffees were ice cold and so were the cold plunges—a popular activity after a game of pickleball on our CityPickle courts.

Guests could also visit our GH Recharge Market to pick up Bai. It’s WonderWater.® and Core Hydration® products—Bai for flavorful hydration and Core for balanced hydration. Core Hydration was a fan favorite during our outdoor workouts and their custom mats were an essential for stability and comfort.

6. The Next Trend in Self-Care Is...Your Car

Scott Roth

INFINITI was our auto partner for Gallery Beach House, which meant that for the entire month of August, we got to experience the incredible luxuries of the All-New 2025 INFINITI QX80 . From the moment you step inside​, you’ll know what we mean. The SUV’s available Quilted Leather-Appointed Seats are massaging in not just the first row, but the second row as well.

When you need to cool down, the all-new QX80’s available Biometric Cooling technology works with its tri-zone climate control system to monitor second-row passenger temperature, adjusting automatically and boosting airflow if it senses the passengers are warm, automatically cooling them down.

And finally, listening to the vehicle’s available Klipsch® 24-speaker reference premiere audio system with individual audio feature while looking up at the panoramic moonroof is an event all on its own.

7. Your Derm Is Likely Wearing EltaMD Sunscreen (So You Should, Too)

Scott Roth

EltaMD celebrated its 15th anniversary of UV Clear at a charming birthday brunch in our backyard. It’s here that we learned EltaMD is the #1 dermatologist-recommended professional sunscreen, and that UV Clear is one of the brand’s best-selling and most beloved products, not only offering sun protection but also skincare benefits. EltaMD UV Clear is great because it contains niacinamide, which helps to visibly improve and prevent discoloration. It also contains micronized zinc oxide—a star ingredient in all EltaMD sun care that helps protect against UVA and UVB rays. Finally, if untinted isn’t your thing, the formula also comes in tinted and deep tint if you crave a little more coverage.

8. We Need a GRWM Suite in Our Own Home

Scott Roth

The Nine West GRWM Suite was a thing of beauty. The brand hosted a GRWM event where Florist Rachel Cho took guests back to their roots (literally), hosting a flower party with handmade accessories to pair with the Nine West shoes, handbags and watches available on-site. Guests were able to try on Nine West pieces to complete their Hamptons looks, and finished it off with touch-ups from Glamsquad and Neutrogena skincare products. More must-have products like Homesick candles , Qalo rings and Love Your Melon hats were also featured in our gifting suite.

9. The Coach Tabby Is Still an ‘It Bag’ for Fall

Scott Roth

If you haven’t already witnessed the iconic Tabby silhouettes surfacing on your FYP, you’re about to. The Coach Tabby Collection is a viral sensation and everyone at GBH was gushing over it during the Coach Be You Brunch . Guests were able to customize their own with everything from pins to monograms. Although the bag is—for all intents and purposes—a statement handbag, it has a very sleek and structured silhouette, making it more timeless than trendy. The best part? It comes with two detachable straps, allowing it to be worn as a shoulder bag, a crossbody or even as a clutch.

10. We Had the Best Houseguests

From Kat Stickler and Jason Tartick to Netflix’s Batsheva and Miriam Haart and a whole slew of Bravolebrities, the celebrity and influencer presence at GBH was a vibe all its own. We’re so thankful to all our friends and partners who helped us make this epic month happen. Gallery Beach House may have come to a close, but that just means we’re on to our next destination ...stay tuned for details.
