The Hamptons have long defined the summer getaway for New Yorkers, with rolling farmland, endless stretches of sand, and villages that balance charm with sophistication. Among them, Bridgehampton stands out. Less crowded than Southampton and more laid-back than East Hampton, it has carved out its own reputation as the heart of Hamptons luxury living, where equestrian fields meet oceanfront estates and farm-to-table dining is never more than a short drive away.
Soon, travelers will be able to experience Bridgehampton through MAKVacation.com, as the brand prepares to manage its first vacation home in the area. For MAK Vacation, it’s the beginning of what may become a full portfolio of Hamptons properties, each blending local character with the elevated hospitality that has become the brand’s hallmark.
Why Bridgehampton?
Bridgehampton has a rhythm all its own. In summer, Main Street buzzes with boutiques, cafes, and galleries. Just beyond, fields stretch toward the horizon, dotted with farm stands selling local produce and vineyards producing crisp Long Island wines. A few minutes away, the Atlantic offers pristine beaches like Mecox and Ocean Road, where waves crash against wide, golden sand.
It’s a place that feels both exclusive and unhurried. Celebrities and executives come for privacy, while families return year after year for the sense of community that defines the Hamptons. Whether you’re spending mornings biking along country roads or evenings gathered for clambakes by the sea, Bridgehampton captures the essence of a timeless summer retreat.
The MAK Vacation Difference
When MAK Vacation begins managing its first Bridgehampton property, guests can expect the same elevated service that has defined the brand in Miami. That means more than just a vacation rental, it means a curated experience.
Services include:
- Concierge-Level Hospitality: From private chefs and catering to last-minute restaurant reservations in East Hampton or Sag Harbor.
- Seamless Arrivals: Private transfers from New York City or nearby airports make travel effortless.

As MAK CEO Max Kostyashkin notes, “Bridgehampton represents everything our travelers are looking for, style, privacy, and connection to a world-class destination. Our goal is to create experiences that feel both personal and effortless.”
