Sunset Beach is a romantic seaside hideaway nestled on the sands of Shelter Island on the eastern end of Long Island, New York.
EXPERIENCE
Hotelier André Balazs transformed an old motel into a sophisticated, retro jewel hotel. It's known as Sunset Beach for its incredible sunsets. The minimalist rooms are done all in white, with contemporary aluminum lamps and splashes of color. All twenty exquisite rooms have their own private sundeck, with a spacious terrace, a separate sitting area, a simple king-size bed and generous pile of fluffy white towels. On closer inspection, signature Balazs luxuries pop up: Frette bed linen, the odd piece of pared-down design furniture, groovy lamps, and a mini-bar and gourmet basket stocked to the brim with irresistible goodies.
On the food side, Sunset has a café/diner for breakfast and brunch, and a tree-covered outdoor terrace for lunch and dinner. Needless to say, both are literally a stone's throw from the beach and offer uninterrupted views of one of the prettiest bays on Shelter Island.
If driving: take the Long Island Expressway to Riverhead, continue on route 25 to
Greenport, drive onto the ferry for the 7-minute ride to Shelter Island.
