Life's a beach

"It's a little microcosm: Ibiza meets Montauk meets Soho House," says hotelier Chris Jones, of his newest, Montauk Beach House. Located smack in the middle of Montauk's village, a block from the beach, it is everything the surfing-haven Hampton town embodies—laidback luxury. Jones and creative director, designer Walt Lindveld, crafted the 33-room hotel, which features a cafe, bar, two pools, and a beach club, by gutting a rundown 1950s hotel in just 102 days. "It was so fast we couldn't produce drawings. We would have missed the season," Jones says.
