Your Hampton friends will be so jealous when you head to the beach for your weekend escape... in Bermuda!
Zoom Airlines is offering round-trip tickets from JFK to Britain's island paradise starting at $123 per person. Flights leave New York early Saturday morning and return by Sunday afternoon--just enough time to work on your tan.
Stay at the elegant Pink Beach Club, Bermuda's largest and most remote enclave of ocean front cottages. Nestled between two beautiful pink sand beaches, the exclusive club is a short ride away from the airport and the shops and restaurants of nearby towns Hamilton and St. Georges. Not that you would have any reason to venture beyond the gorgeous grounds, except to enjoy the crystal clear waters right outside your door, or a massage on the beach.
The cottages (all Bermuda pink, of course) range from two-room suites overlooking the lush gardens ($490 per night) to smaller studios with an ocean view ($570) to luxurious ocean front suites ($740). All rooms have a private terrace and Italian marble bathrooms with cherry cabinetry. Rates include a full English breakfast (which can be served on your terrace), afternoon tea, and a five-course dinner in The Bermudiana Dining Room, the Club's gourmet restaurant where every room has an ocean view.

The Pink Club offers some of the best snorkeling in Bermuda, along with complimentary equipment. There's also every other kind of water sport you can imagine, like windsurfing, scuba diving, sailing, or waterskiing. You can even go on an unforgettable "Dolphin Quest" and swim with the dolphins! If golf is your game, the prestigious Mid Ocean Club course is just five minutes away. Later, take a romantic stroll along the beach--on horseback--and then find a couple of comfy lounge chairs overlooking the ocean and have a cocktail delivered to you as the sun sets.
