CITYist

There’s no place we’d rather live than New York, but even we’ll admit it: sometimes we just need an escape. At Panoramic View Resort, a renowned Montauk location for over fifty years, it’s all too easy to find one.

As the name suggests, the view from Panoramic View Resort is something that needs to be seen in person to be believed, which is why every guest room has a balcony for guests to enjoy the unreal beauty of the landscape. It is, in a word, stunning, with a pristine white sandy beach that only enhances the clear blue of the Atlantic Ocean. With a friendly staff and a policy for no children under the age of 10, Panoramic View seems the ideal place to simply take a deep breath and relax. The pool comes with private cabanas and lounges that share the same spectacular view, and the full fitness center features personal trainers to keep you looking gorgeous in that bikini (access to the beach is exclusive to guests at the resort). For some downtime in your room, relax on a comfy king-sized bed, use the fully-equipped kitchenette or take a quick walk to the Gurney’s Inn Resort just steps away.

Despite what the pictures might suggest, Panoramic View is only a little over two hours away from the city, located on Old Montauk Highway. Though rest-assured, you’ll still feel like you are a world away from the bustle and hustle of the city, even if it’s only for the weekend.
