For Brooke DeVard Ozaydinli, the Hamptons are a second home—and an essential counterbalance to the hectic pace of city life. “I’ve been going out East for 21 years,” the 31-year old Naked Beauty podcast creator and sometime Sag Harbor resident explains. When she isn’t busy running after son Mavi, the Instagram product marketing manager relishes the quieter moments of connection so readily available out East. “For me, [going to] the Hamptons is all about spending quality time with family and having access to nature,” she says. “Being in the city is great, but I love being surrounded by trees, fresh air, and—of course—the beach!”
We have long been fans of DeVard Ozaydinli and were excited to catch up about the best places to go in the summer for food, drinks and spa time. Below, her faves.
Where do you like to go for a beauty treatment?
Naturopathica in East Hampton has the most incredible treatments. I love their deep tissue massage because they have a truly holistic approach and use gorgeous smelling oils with tons of aromatherapy benefits. Naturopathica.com
Where can we get the best drinks?
East Hampton Grill hands down has the best bar and cocktails in the Hamptons. And, while you’re there you might as well try one of the delicious appetizers like the heavenly biscuits or fried oysters! Easthamptongrill.com
Where can we shop for chic must-haves?
My favorite shop in all of the Hamptons is Zamani Heritage in Sag Harbor. The owner, Timor, curates traditional vintage pieces from Afghanistan. You can find gorgeous and unique statement jewelry, traditional shearling lined vests, and really great coats with standout prints. I love mixing these pieces with jeans for a luxe bohemian look. zamanicollections.com
What’s your favorite Hamptons activity?
The beach is the main attraction but I actually love going on hikes. If you go at the right time, you can find yourself alone and surrounded by nature.
Favorite restaurant?
Tutto Il Giorno has an incredible rigatoni that I dream about! tuttoilgiorno.com
