Faraway Sag Harbor is open on the village waterfront for the 2026 summer season, replacing the long-running Baron’s Cove name with a 67-room Faraway Hotels property at 31 West Water Street.
Guests can book rooms now, reserve dinner at Zagara, and plan around a heated outdoor pool, padel court, ONDA Beauty spa residency, fitness center, and complimentary bikes.
The change matters for anyone still searching under the old brand. A Hamptons stay that used to mean Baron’s Cove now routes through a new hotel identity and bookable amenity stack.
- What changed: Baron’s Cove reopened as Faraway Sag Harbor for summer 2026.
- Where: 31 West Water Street, Sag Harbor, New York, on the harborfront.
- Scale: 67 rooms and suites across Village and Harbor categories.
- Dining: Zagara is closed Mondays; dinner Tuesday to Sunday evenings.
- Book now: Rooms, padel, and ONDA Beauty bookings are live on official channels.
What opened on the Sag Harbor harborfront
According to the official Faraway Sag Harbor site, the hotel is accepting bookings for stays at the harborfront address with a full room catalog, dining hours, and experience menu.
The property markets itself as a waterfront base with harbor lofts, garden retreats, poolside lounging, and open-air dining. That is the live inventory travelers should use when older Baron’s Cove pages lag the rebrand.
Local reporting from Behind the Hedges on June 17, 2026 said the 67-room property had officially opened for the summer season after the site’s $66.5 million sale in 2024.
That account places the reopening under the Faraway brand while keeping the long village waterfront legacy in view. It also names the property as a gathering place for returning guests and new visitors.
Industry coverage from Lodging Magazine on July 21, 2026 frames the debut as part of a paired opening with Faraway Jackson Hole.
The piece says Blue Flag Capital and Collared Martin Hospitality are expanding Faraway Hotels beyond New England for the first time, after the brand’s Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard properties.
Deep Arrival already covered the Wyoming side of that expansion in the live report on Faraway Jackson Hole’s Teton Village debut.
The Sag Harbor stream is separate. It is a Hamptons harborfront reopening with its own dining, spa, and room decision, not a mountain resort twin.
Rooms: Village versus Harbor choices
The official room list splits inventory into Village and Harbor families. Village rooms sit closer to guest parking and garden patios.
Harbor rooms face the water, often with private patios and quicker access to the pool. That split is the first booking decision before comparing nightly rates.
Named types on the hotel site include Village Signature King, Village Signature Garden King, Village Garden Signature Accessible King, Harbor Signature King, Village Signature Double Full, Harbor Signature Double Queen, Harbor King Loft, Harbor King Loft with Sleeper Sofa, Harbor Two Bedroom Suite with Loft, and Harbor King Suite.
That menu is more useful than a single luxury room label. A couple that wants parking convenience and a quieter garden patio can start with Village categories.
Guests who came for the water view and poolside path should price Harbor rooms and lofts first. The labels on the site make that filter explicit.
Lofts and multi-room suites add a different decision. Harbor King Lofts advertise double-height living and harbor views.
The two-bedroom loft suite is marketed for up to five guests. Check that inventory before you assume a standard king can absorb a family or friend group.
Rates, resort fees, and cancellation rules are not fixed in the public opening announcements. Confirm the live quote, deposit, and free-cancel deadline on the hotel’s reservation path.
| If you… | What to do |
|---|---|
| Want parking access and garden patio calm | Start with Village Signature King or Garden King rooms. |
| Came for the water view and poolside path | Compare Harbor Signature King, Double Queen, and loft options first. |
| Need space for three to five guests | Check Harbor lofts with sleeper sofas or the two-bedroom loft suite. |
| Need an accessible ground-floor layout | Look first at the Village Garden Signature Accessible King listing. |
| Want dinner without a car shuffle | Book Zagara for Tuesday to Sunday evenings and keep Monday off the plan. |
Zagara, lobby bar, and dining hours
Dining is one of the clearest operational changes for village visitors as well as overnight guests. Faraway lists Zagara as its Amalfi-inspired restaurant with oysters, coastal plates, and harbor views.
Lobby cocktails and light bites round out easier gatherings when a full dinner reservation is not the goal. Those spaces sit outside the stricter restaurant clock.
Published hours on the hotel site are specific. Zagara is closed Mondays, open Tuesday through Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and open Sundays from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Those hours are the decision surface for anyone planning a Monday arrival or a late Sunday dinner. Build the stay around the closed day instead of discovering it after check-in.
Behind the Hedges names Executive Chef Jarad McCarroll as the dining lead, noting his recent culinary role at Montauk Yacht Club. Lodging Magazine adds that Zagara extends from the dining room to an outdoor terrace and a private dining room.
Reservations for Zagara are linked from the property site through SevenRooms. If dinner is the main reason for a short stay, book the table before you lock a room type that only works for late arrivals.
The lobby bar and covered porch fill gaps around the restaurant schedule. Morning coffee through evening drinks is the hotel’s own framing for those spaces when Zagara is full or closed on Monday.
Pool, padel, ONDA Beauty, bikes, and fitness
Beyond the room key, Faraway is selling a short amenity stack that can change how a weekend is planned. The official site lists a sun-dappled outdoor pool steps from the harbor, complimentary bikes, a Technogym fitness center, a new padel court for up to four players, and an ONDA Beauty residency for spa treatments.
Lodging Magazine independently lists a heated outdoor pool with cabanas, the padel court, spa treatment rooms seasonally operated by ONDA Beauty, and a fitness center. That second source helps separate marketing language from corroborated amenity claims.
ONDA Beauty’s summer residency is bookable through a dedicated ONDA page linked from the hotel. The property highlights an ONDA x Faraway Signature Facial paired with a Relax and Reset massage, plus lobby retail.
Treat spa inventory as a separate reservation, not as an automatic room inclusion. Capacity can fill even when rooms remain available.
Padel is also a separate booking through FareHarbor on the hotel’s site. If a match is central to the trip, reserve court time while room inventory is still flexible.
Complimentary bikes are the lowest-friction amenity for village exploration. They pair well with a stay already inside walking distance of Main Street, Havens Beach, and the wharf.
How this changes a Sag Harbor trip plan
Travelers who already know Sag Harbor should update bookmarks and booking habits. Searching only for Baron’s Cove can surface outdated references, residual renovation notices, or third-party pages that lag the rebrand.
Start with the Faraway domain when you need current rates, dining hours, or amenity booking links. That is the cleanest path to the live inventory.
The hotel’s own neighborhood block points guests toward the Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum, Historic Main Street, The Church at Sag Harbor, Yacht Kelpie sails, Havens Beach, and the Green Room at Sag Harbor Cinema.
Those anchors match a harbor village weekend more than a generic Hamptons checklist. They also sit close enough for walking or bike loops from 31 West Water Street.
For a deeper off-property plan, Deep Arrival’s guide to things to do in Sag Harbor is the natural evergreen bridge from this hotel news to village walks, beaches, and day timing.
Pair that with the regional beach context in best beaches in the Northeast if the stay is built around water time rather than dining alone.
Logistics still matter on the East End. Summer weekend traffic into the South Fork can erase a dinner reservation if you leave New York City too late.
Build buffer for the final miles into the village, especially if Zagara is booked for an early seating. Parking and arrival notes can also change with events and seasonal staffing.
Confirm the current parking note on the reservation. Ask whether a late check-in still reaches the lobby bar if dinner is your first stop.
- Update the name: Book Faraway Sag Harbor, not an expired Baron’s Cove habit.
- Pick a room family first: Village for garden and parking; Harbor for water and pool access.
- Lock dinner early: Zagara is closed Monday and ends earlier on Sunday.
- Book amenities separately: Padel and ONDA Beauty are not automatic with the room rate.
- Plan the village on foot: Use complimentary bikes and the short walk to Main Street and Havens Beach.
One more reality check remains on the public web. The hotel site still carries residual renovation language about Baron’s Cove closing and reopening for summer 2026 even while room booking, dining hours, and amenity menus are live.
Trust the bookable inventory and independent open reports over any leftover seasonal footer copy. That is the practical way to avoid false “not open yet” confusion mid-summer.
