Every aspect of Shou Sugi Ban House in Water Mill, from the carefully crafted meals to the spa treatments to its striking minimalist architectural design, encourages a return to tranquility. Here, healing occurs through a truly immersive experience for the senses.
Embracing the principles of wabi-sabi — a Japanese philosophy that embraces imperfection, transience, and the beauty of natural simplicity — Shou Sugi Ban House provides an exquisite escape that invites you to unwind and rejuvenate. Whether it’s a tranquil getaway or a refreshing day trip, immerse yourself in indulgent spa treatments designed to refresh your body and soul. Coupled with a culinary program that celebrates vibrant flavors and artisanal craftsmanship, each moment spent here will leave you both nourished and inspired.
In addition to its world-class spa treatments and accommodations, Shou Sugi Ban House offers a multi-course tasting experience every Friday and Saturday evening, highlighting the creativity and skill of its exceptional culinary program. Each menu is carefully crafted either by the in-house team or by renowned and emerging chefs from around the world, showcasing a unique representation of seasonal, organic ingredients. This dining experience is designed to celebrate the beauty of the ingredients and the essence of intentional dining, with every course inviting guests to form a deeper connection to nourishment and craftsmanship.
Two new series will take place for the first time, inviting day guests to experience the property in a new way. The Balanced Body Series is offered Monday to Friday from May through September. Embark on a transformative journey that combines invigorating movement with restorative relaxation. The series kicks off with a group fitness or yoga class at 10 AM, set in the peaceful environment of the indoor/outdoor Movement Pavilion. Following your movement session, immerse yourself in the soothing waters of the Hydrotherapy Circuit and Thermal Suite. This combination of movement and hydrotherapy provides a holistic wellness experience designed to renew, restore, and refresh. Stay for lunch or enjoy a spa treatment afterward.

Start your evening with one hour of access to the communal hydrotherapy suite, followed by a 60-minute transformative ritual, and conclude with the Chef’s Tasting Dinner, crafted with a focus on wellness and sustainability.
