A vibrant summer colony with plenty to do all year round. Welcome to Southampton. 

Historically the stomping grounds of industry titans and other Gilded Age elite, you’ll still find plenty of celebrities making Southampton their year-round home. This opulent summer colony with old American roots has become a hub of Hamptons art, culture, and history. The village, located in the larger Town of Southampton, is a perfect mix of old-school charm and modern luxury. You’ll find exquisitely preserved buildings, like the Halsey House from the 1680s, nearby stunning beachfront estates. 

Like many Hamptons towns, you can’t visit Southampton during the summer without a trip to one of its renowned white-sand beaches. Strolling down Main Street, you’ll find plenty of upscale stores and unique mom-and-pop shops, like Aerin boutique and the Village Gourmet Cheese Shoppe. Southampton’s luxe array of dining options — from cafes and casual takeaways to world-class cuisine — beg to be enjoyed alfresco in the warmer months. Local award-winning museums like the Southampton Arts Center and Southampton History Museum make the village a rich hub for art and culture. 

With residents including movie stars, Olympians, members of congress, and Fortune 500 CEOs, Southampton has stuck close to its high society roots. Driving along any of the green, well-maintained streets, you’ll find historic farmhouses, mansions, and classic shingle-style homes. Near the water, sprawling estates and modern mansions dot the coast with uninterrupted views of the Atlantic. While Southampton offers a quiet, relaxed way of life, there is plenty to do and see any time of year.
