Hotels in Montauk

Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa is the most complete oceanfront property on Long Island's East End, combining a private Atlantic beach, heated seawater spa, and on-site dining in one address. It works well for special occasions, client retreats, and working getaways where self-contained infrastructure matters. Book two to three months out for summer weekends; September offers the best balance of availability and experience.

The Surf Lodge is Montauk's scene-forward waterfront property — best for guests who want summer social energy, dock-side drinks, and a lively on-site food program rather than a polished resort retreat. Book three to four weeks ahead for summer weekends. A strong alternative to Gurney's if atmosphere matters more to you than spa infrastructure.
