Their portfolio includes world-class properties that are designed to set the benchmark for luxury living and hospitality, integrating the finest elements of nature and architecture to curate exclusive, vibrant communities for their members.
One of Discovery Land Company’s spectacular offerings is the Dune Deck Beach Club, situated in the serene and picturesque south fork of Long Island at Westhampton Beach, New York. This idyllic beachfront club is an emblem of relaxation and high-end coastal living, just a stone’s throw away from the energy of bustling city life. Dune Deck Beach Club features waterfront suites accompanied by a rich mix of indoor and outdoor amenities designed for family fun and unique experiences in the Hamptons. The club is not only a gateway for luxurious leisure but also a place where members can indulge in exquisite dining experiences especially curated for the summer season. Additionally, members can participate in Discovery’s signature Outdoor Pursuits program, making it a holistic lifestyle destination catering to diverse member interests and age groups. The location’s convenience is further enhanced by its proximity to The Hills, Discovery’s newest East Coast property, amplifying the recreational landscape available to club members and visitors.

Applicants can expect a competitive weekly salary of $2,400, translating to an approximate annual salary of $125,000, alongside access to comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
