Relaxation Getaway: A Charming Fall Family Retreat at The Roundtree Amagansett

Roundtree Amagansett

For a charming East Hamptons getaway offering elegance, unobtrusive service, and relaxation, The Roundtree Amagansett provides everything you need to indulge in a cheerful fall retreat. The beautifully renovated destination is a unique property where guests can stay in the historic, yet modernized barn or cozy cottages. The luxurious accommodations offer a welcoming environment for families and even pets.

Some of the memorable experiences that guests enjoy include bike rides, unwinding at the beach, getting cozy by the fire pit, and making s’mores. In October, the hotel hosted a collaboration with star facialist Cornelia Zicu featuring luxe wellness experiences to pamper guests. This month, the property will host its first “Art-Ful Getaway Weekend” from November 11-13. This fall the property is also offering a “Fall Family Fun” package to spoil the whole family. The package comes with admission for four to The Seven Ponds Orchard, a local family-run farm where you can pick 16 varieties of apples, as well as sunflowers. Entertainment at the farm includes hay rides, a corn maze, and toy-filled playground.

We interviewed The Roundtree’s founder, Sylvia Wong to learn more about the property’s latest wellness and fall family offerings.

What do guests love most about your property and its wellness programming?The Roundtree, Amagansett is an intimate boutique property which gives us more flexibility to adapt to wellness and spa trends and creatively incorporate them into our programming in a way that works for our guests. We are constantly collecting feedback from our guests on amenities and offerings  they’d like to have access to while they’re with us which has played a key role in the development and direction of our spa and wellness-centric offerings.

Tell us about the spa and wellness amenities featured at your property?
We have a rotating calendar of offerings like our wellness retreat that includes a 60-minute in-room massage. Our partnership with Cornelia Zicu in October as our resident rejuvenator was our latest wellness offering and offered guests exclusive access to one of the most sought-after facial experiences available which is something we’re very proud of. We want The Roundtree to be known as a place for rest, reconnection, and rejuvenation and easy access to an array of self-care offerings allows guests to truly unwind and enjoy.

Guest room accomodations

Can you share a special bonus that guests might not be aware of before visiting your property? 
We want our guests to always feel at home when they’re with us and each afternoon, we offer fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies for everyone to enjoy. We also host regular s’mores nights around our fire pit. 

Breakfast at The Roundtree Amagansett

Do you have an insider’s tip that you can share?
For easy destination access, we recommend taking advantage of the Long Island Railroad or the Hampton Jitney, which stops directly in front of the property for a stress-free travel experience.

What are some of the fall experiences that guests can book?
Join The Roundtree from November 11-13 for its first art weekend complete with a renowned expert in the field. On this small group guided trip, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the gem of an art destination the Hamptons is.

Through November 23, The Roundtree is offering the “Fall Family Fun” package complimentary with deluxe room category or above bookings. With this package guests have the opportunity to take in the majestic color of the leaves, spot wildlife on a self-guided, kid-friendly nature walk, and visit a family-run farm for apple picking and entertainment. (This must be booked directly on the hotel’s website or over the phone and confirmed with guest services.)

What are the most popular treatments/signature spa treatments?
The Essential Cornelia Facial that was part of our rejuvenation offering in October was very well received. We saw a lot of excitement around the customized approach that Cornelia took to each experience and in addition to enthusiasm around the Champagne Lymphatic Massage that was part of each treatment. 

Guests also love our in-room massage offering – there are few activities more luxurious than a relaxing massage in the comfort of your own room.

Any other wellness offerings we should know about?
The Roundtree is constantly adapting to trends and expanding wellness offerings on property. In addition to the rejuvenation facials and in-room massage, we offer experiences like seasonal yoga which can be booked for groups or private sessions in addition to seasonal beach fitness classes that we can arrange for our guests. We love to be able to take advantage of our location and encourage guests to do the same in unique ways.
