Woman found murdered in guest room of luxury Hamptons spa & resort: police

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

The unidentified woman’s body was discovered by an employee in 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 quickly determined she was “a victim of violence.”

Police did not provide details about the victim’s injuries or cause of death and said the county medical examiner would conduct an autopsy to determine how she died.

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

The Shou Sugi Ban House describes itself as “a private retreat and enclosed grounds surrounded by evergreen trees and lush grass” spanning over five acres. The complex includes the 13-room “destination retreat and luxury spa, and a standalone luxury residence for short-term rentals.”

The 4,000-square-foot studios feature a king or queen bed, a “luxurious soaking tub,” a modern gas fireplace and private garden patios, according to the resort’s website. They can accommodate up to two guests.

The average rate for the studios is $1,000 per night or $1,250 per night for the resort’s “signature romance package,” designed for couples. Additional 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 appreciate the simple beauty and healing properties of the natural world,” according to the resort’s website.
