Poolside Pages & Fireside Chats

East Hampton, NY · May 28-31, 2026

You don’t need permission to pause.
But you might need a place designed for it.

This spring, join us in East Hampton for a retreat built around what book lovers crave most: uninterrupted time to read, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself and with others who get it. Imagine mornings spent with coffee and quiet pages, afternoons wrapped in thoughtful conversation, and evenings full of laughter and firelight.

It’s more than a weekend away. It’s a chance to exhale—and to feel inspired again.

This retreat is now fully booked — and it’s going to be wonderful.

Join the waitlist to be first to hear about future retreat dates.

  • Do shared rooms mean shared beds?

    In some shared rooms, the bed configuration is a single king or queen — meaning you and your roommate will share a bed. If you're booking with a friend, this is often no issue at all. If you're coming solo and would prefer not to share a bed, we'll do our best to pair you with someone compatible, or we can help you find a single-occupancy option. Just reach out before booking and we'll sort it together.

  • East Hampton, NY

    We recommend flying into one of the following airports for the easiest access to East Hampton:

    • Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) – about 1.5 hours away and the closest commercial airport. A great option if you're looking to skip the NYC airport hustle.

    • John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) – roughly 2.5 hours away with the most flight options, especially for cross-country or international travel.

    • LaGuardia Airport (LGA) – also about 2.5 hours away, serving mostly domestic routes.

    From there, East Hampton is an easy drive, train ride, bus ride, or car service away—your escape to the woods and waves awaits.
