The hotel enforces general property policies (non‑smoking, minimum check‑in age, incidental authorization) separately from spa bookings. If you need to cancel or change a spa appointment, confirm the spa’s cancellation policy at booking—timelines and penalties may differ from room policies.
- Reserve via the concierge or spa reservation lines
- Confirm cancellation policy at time of booking
- Note hotel policies (non‑smoking, check‑in age 21, incidental hold) may apply to on‑site services
| Policy | Relevant fact |
|---|---|
| Check‑in age | Guests must be 21+ to check in (ID required) |
| Incidental hold | A $200 hold is authorized at check‑in on reservations |
| Smoking | Property is non‑smoking; fees apply for violations |
Access, transfers and what to bring
The Cabana Spa is docked on Lake Montauk behind the Montauk Yacht Club; the concierge can help coordinate access and timing from the hotel grounds. If you plan to arrive from off‑site, confirm where to meet the spa host—the floating cabana requires a short transfer or walk from the main property.
Bring swimwear if your treatment or package includes water‑based elements and arrive with minimal jewelry. If you have medical concerns, allergies or are pregnant, disclose them when you book so the spa can suggest appropriate treatments or modifications.
- Confirm exact meeting point with concierge
- Disclose medical conditions, allergies, or pregnancy at booking
- Bring swimwear only if planning water‑based components; otherwise arrive comfortable
| Bring | Why |
|---|---|
| ID and reservation confirmation | Required for check‑in and booking verification |

Pairing spa time with other Montauk Yacht Club amenities
Combine a Cabana Spa treatment with other on‑site wellness offerings: the resort runs complimentary yoga classes and has a dedicated Studio for movement programming, plus a 24‑hour fitness center. There’s also an indoor pool adjacent to the fitness center if you want to use pool facilities pre‑ or post‑treatment.
Pair spa time with waterfront dining at ALBA Spiaggia, a Pool Bar visit, or a relaxed afternoon on the private beach—remember breakfast and most dining are charged à la carte and reservations are recommended for ALBA Spiaggia. If you’re boating or using the marina, schedule spa time around your docking or departure plans.

- Use indoor pool and fitness center before or after spa (subject to Water Club inclusions)
- Book ALBA Spiaggia or Pool Bar reservations around your treatment time
