Defender Partners with Montauk Surf Lodge for Summer

Land Rover Defender sits by the beach as a female surfer walks toward waves.

The Defender is the official vehicle of summer 2023 at the Surf Lodge in Montauk, New York, tying one of the hottest 4x4s on the market to one of the hottest hotels in the East End of Long Island.

The Surf Lodge opened fifteen years ago, a project of New York club nightlife owner Jayma Cardoso. After several successful ventures in Manhattan, she turned her sights to Montauk in 2008, seeing the potential the once-sleepy town at the end of Long Island had as a less formal extension of The Hamptons. Since opening, it's become one of the hottest spots for East End society, as well as a cultural hotspot and music showcase.

This summer, you can book the Defender Weekend Experience at the Surf Lodge, a package that "embodies the Defender lifestyle." The package includes a two-night weekend stay, access to a fleet of Defenders to explore the area with, VIP concert access to Surf Lodge's frequent shows, a dining experience for two, and deck access.

Over the weekend of July 21-23, there will be a special experience with sports power couple, big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton and Olympic volleyball player Gabby Reece. Guests will have a special dining experience on the beach with the two, a special brunch, and a special Defender Summer Kit beach bag.

The Surf Lodge partnership ties Land Rover further into the destination-based experiential partnerships that they've pioneered with the Range Rover House concept at several high-end events, while giving it a bit of a Defender twist to maintain the tenets of that product line's DNA. The Hamptons and Montauk are one of the most Defender-y places you can spend your summer, with old and new Defenders all over every street and beach parking lot, making the partnership an easy match.
