Bermuda: Active Escapes
From golf to snorkeling to deep-sea dives. You're never far from a golf course when you're on Bermuda -- it's reputed to have more golf holes per capita than any country in the world. And it's accessible golf, with an assist from the concierge, who can help you book a tee times even on the exclusive, highly ranked Mid-Ocean Golf Club, site of last year's PGA Grand Slam of Golf. Have time for two rounds? Have the concierge book a tee time at Belmont Hills as a warm-up to Mid-Ocean. Belmont is short (or, as they say, "it favors the accurate golfer, rather than the big hitter," with glorious views of Hamilton Harbor. Elbow Beach can also arrange a tee time at Tucker's Point -- the golf course has been transformed along with the new the Hotel & Spa and private residences, opening in 2009. Bermuda may be rich in golf, but its greatest treasure is in the crystal-clear waters that surround it. With visibility of upwards of 75 feet in summer, warm waters and vibrant coral reefs that are home to some 650 species of fish, Bermuda is a snorkeler's paradise. For the more nautically ambitious, know that over 400 shipwrecks, dating as far back as the 15th century, surround Bermuda, including the wreck Pollockshields just 100 yards off Elbow Beach's pink beach. The hotel can arrange for Scuba dives with its on-property dive company, Blue Water Divers. For more information, check out the four-night Scuba package.
