Belmont Park Village is introducing a new transport service to its array of designer retail opportunities this summer.
From 8 July, the luxury outlet centre, situated alongside UBS Arena in Elmont, Long Island, will provide complimentary return sprinter van services from Southampton every Wednesday. This initiative allows residents of the Hamptons, seeking exceptional value on European and American designer clothing and accessories, as well as fine brasserie cuisine at chef Timothy Hollingsworth’s Hundredfold restaurant, to visit the open-air shopping destination.
Vans are scheduled to depart from Southampton at 10 am and return from the Village at 3 pm. Advance online reservations are required for all passengers.
The premium brand complex, located just 30 minutes from midtown Manhattan and under 20 minutes from both JFK and LaGuardia airports, opened in October 2024. Designed to evoke a charming town centre, the development features expansive walkways, a tree-lined canopy, comfortable seating, and ample free parking. Amenities also include chess and ping pong tables, alongside a dog bar offering fresh water for pets.
Currently, its stone-paved streets host approximately 40 stores, including Valentino, Gianvito Rossi, Coach, Rene Caovilla, Longchamp, Zadig & Voltaire, Vivienne Westwood, Missoni, Aquazzura, Thom Browne, and Orlebar Brown. Additionally, a Brand Salon is available for exclusive pop-ups and sample sales.
Nine further shops, such as A.P.C., Rag & Bone, Kiton, Billy Reid, and Herno, are scheduled to open later this summer and autumn.
Visitors can benefit from discounts of up to 65% off retail prices daily, complemented by special promotions, including an additional 30% off at Roberto Cavalli and TWP stores, and on ready-to-wear items at Missoni this month.
Each designer boutique stocks main collection pieces, encompassing archive items, previous season collections, and red carpet attire. Notably, merchandise specifically manufactured for the outlet channel using less expensive materials is not stocked.
Guests can also enjoy culinary offerings and special deals. On Wednesdays, patrons ordering the signature Gianvito Rossi cocktail at Hundredfold will receive an additional 20% discount at the Gianvito Rossi store.
Beyond the brasserie, dining options include plant-based Le Botaniste and Pret A Manger, alongside weekend pop-ups such as Froyo from Le Botaniste in collaboration with CocoJune and BonBon Swedish Candy.
To enhance the visitor experience, a variety of special events are hosted on-site. Wellness Thursdays, for instance, offer yoga and pilates classes for fitness enthusiasts, with the next session scheduled for 16 July at 11 am. Meanwhile, Summer Saturdays feature live music performances at the Village.
Additional services include hands-free shopping, where a concierge manages purchases, and access to The Apartment, an exclusive, invite-only suite for private shopping and special events. Guests can also register with the concierge for arena delivery, allowing purchases to be collected from UBS’s Isles Lab Team Store after an Islanders game or selected concerts, with Lionel Richie with Earth Wind & Fire and Shakira performing this month.
Belmont Park Village represents the latest addition to The Bicester Collection and its inaugural venture into North America. The retail and hospitality group operates 12 Villages near major cities globally, including Paris, Milan, Barcelona, Brussels, Dublin, Frankfurt, and Shanghai. These sophisticated retail destinations are renowned for their high-end brand selections, elevated shopping experiences, fine dining, and exclusive services.
