Three Ducks Hotel – a boutique hotel rooted in nature and authenticity

A collaboration between designer-developers Elizabeth Bakhash and Randall Stone of Three Ducks Hospitality, the debut Three Ducks boutique hotel introduces a design with nature as a blueprint and a genuine connection to the Westhampton community. With 12 rooms, the property blends upscale amenities, experience-forward design, and a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that captures the ease and charm of the area.

At Three Ducks, the guest experience is thoughtfully designed to follow the natural rhythm of the day. Mornings begin with a locally sourced breakfast at The Barn, and from there, the day unfolds at each guest’s own pace. With help from a full-service concierge, guests are encouraged to explore the area with curated guides, complimentary bicycles, and an on-site Moke available for hourly or daily rental.

Located near Rogers, Pike’s, and Cupsogue beaches and within walking distance of farm stands, shops, and restaurants, the hotel makes it easy to experience Westhampton like a local. A flower farmstand at the front desk and a market stocked with local products add to the sense of place, while bookable in-room massages offer a way to recharge. Evenings wind down with private garden seating for each room and a communal wood-burning fire pit lit at sunset, creating a relaxed close to the day.

“The central location of Three Ducks naturally enhances the experience, truly allowing our guests to live like locals. Whether taking a short drive or bike ride to the lively centre of town or enjoying pristine beaches, the hotel’s deep-rooted connection to nature and community is the heart of the experience we strive to cultivate,” commented Stone.

Rooted in a philosophy of garden-fresh interiors, each space is inspired by nature. The Guest House features five different guest room types, ranging from standard to a two-bedroom suite. Rooms feature organic details like pebble-inspired lighting, ash wood floors, and textured clay tiles paired with a soft, natural colour palette drawn directly from the environment.

Window benches invite quiet moments of reflection, while every room opens to a private garden, reinforcing the seamless connection between inside and out. Vaulted ceilings, ample storage and secondary vanity spaces that extend the bathroom add to the sense of openness and calm. The Barn, The Gardens, and The Guest House cultivate an appreciation for simpler, meaningful experiences through regional design influence with a modern touch.

Each room features work by artist Thiciana Cruz, whose abstract compositions—marked by blended horizon lines and vivid colour—capture the fluidity of experience and the beauty of transformation. Additionally, 12 unique commissioned poems by Chris Vitiello can be found in each room, inspired by the playful ducks and the surrounding landscape. Ranging from serious to cheeky, they are designed to surprise, delight, and encourage a creative, fun atmosphere.

“Our approach is about going deep into the details—every texture, every material, every corner is considered,” said Bakhash. “It’s those small, intentional choices that quietly shape the mood of a space and make it feel truly alive.”

The property is designed to accommodate a variety of private events, including intimate weddings, corporate retreats, and brand activations. The property offers flexible event spaces such as The Barn, which can be reserved for fully catered private gatherings. Full and partial buyouts are available, allowing groups to enjoy exclusive access to the hotel and its grounds.

In addition, Three Ducks provides comprehensive concierge planning services, coordinating everything from transportation and guest amenities to in-room gifts and tailored activity itineraries. The hotel partners with local vendors, including nearby flower farms and top-tier caterers for seamless, memorable events with personalised attention to detail.
