Wearing the Bermuda shorts, knee socks and 21-mile-per-hour speed limits that make this 20-square-mile former British colony the portrait of refinement, the new Willow Stream Spa at the Fairmont Southampton inserts the new age onto the island. Situated 640 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., Bermuda is less than a two-hour flight from New York City, Boston or Philadelphia. The sun-kissed resort rests on a pretty pink-sand bay lapped by the Atlantic Enjoy snorkeling along one of Bermuda's loveliest beaches; hike or cycle the 18-mile Bermuda Railway past pastel cottages; enjoy yoga on the beach, golf or tennis. Then relax at the new 23,000-squarefoot spa.
Encircled by flowering gardens, it has a private pool fed by three waterfalls of varying heights, plus pulsations for the ultimate water massage, as well as hot tubs, sauna, steam, and private ocean-view treatment rooms for couples. Deluxe treatments include a chamomile-laced bath, rose-hip-oil massage and rose-infused wrap for 90 minutes of guilt-free ecstasy. If only the same could be said of the authentic French cuisine at the resort's Waterlot Inn, a romantic 37.5-year-old bayside restaurant - still, it's worth every calorie. Fairmont Southampton
