Woman found murdered inside guest room at luxury Hamptons resort: police

A woman was found murdered inside a luxury Hamptons spa and resort on Monday, police said.

The unidentified woman’s body was discovered by a staff member inside a guest room at the Shou Sugi Ban House in Water Mill around 12:30 p.m., Suffolk County police said.

Investigators responded to the “suspicious death” and soon determined she was “a victim of violence.”

Police did not provide details about the victim’s injuries or cause of death, stating that the county medical examiner would perform an autopsy to determine how she was killed.

The body was found in one of 13 private guest studios at the high-end resort, located at 337 Montauk Highway.

The Shou Sugi Ban House describes itself as “a private sanctuary and gated compound surrounded by evergreen trees and lush grasses” with over five acres. Its compound includes the 13-room “destination retreat and luxury spa, and a standalone luxury residence for short-term rentals.”

The 400-square-foot studios feature a king- or queen-size bed, a “luxurious soaking tub,” a modern gas fireplace, and private garden patios, according to the resort website. They can accommodate up to two guests.

The average rate for the studios is $1,000 a night or $1,250 a night for the resort’s “signature romance package” designed for couples. Add-on spa and wellness treatments and on-site dining options are also available to guests.

“A space inspired by the principles of wabi-sabi and wellness traditions that value the simple beauty and healing properties found within the natural world,” the resort’s website reads.
