One of the best things about writing about beauty is getting to check out spas around the world. This July, I spent a glorious week in Bermuda doing just that. I got to stay out a few resorts where I tried out their spas, I went snorkeling along Bermuda's famous reefs where I spied the most gorgeous fish (I highly recommend a snorkeling trip with Jessie James Cruises) and I tried for the first time the island's signature drink, the Dark 'n Stormy.
The funny thing is that I'd never considered a trip to Bermuda before. I had no idea until this past spring that it was only 2 hours away from NY by plane (hello!). It's like this shiny little gem of a vacation spot that has fallen off the radar of many East Coasters, but if they knew how much cooler it was than say, Florida, all the New Yorkers I know would be buying up those $200 Jet Blue flights to Bermuda and bypassing Miami. It's that cool.
Of all the places I checked out in Bermuda, The Reefs Hotel and Club is the resort I can't wait to come back to. The rooms are nicely priced, many are newly renovated and the resort is perfectly located on a rocky ridge overlooking the beach and the ocean (pictured here is my perch near the infinity pool at The Reefs). My good friend Laura and I found the food to be outstanding, but the best treat of my stay were the services I had at the resort's La Serena Spa. I had the best facial of my life there and a wonderful wrap and massage as well. I highly recommend the spa even if you are staying elsewhere on the island.
The Reefs offers many discounts throughout the year. Check out their Website for more information.
