Cambridge Beaches, Bermuda

Weather-wise, there are better times of year to go to Bermuda, but for a quick winter getaway it is close -- one of the closest luxury beach destinations from New York City, in fact, and as travel specialist Rudi Steele reminds us, "quite a bit warmer than NYC." Drop your overnight bags at Cambridge Beaches for a long weekend of golf (the resort belongs to every course on the island), unwind with a spa treatment or yoga class, and promise yourself that during the summer season you'll be back to rejuvenate on the many glorious beaches and natural coves surrounding the luxury resort.
