4. Watch athletes and an island prepare for America’s Cup
Legendary pink sand beaches, championship golf courses, mild-year-round weather, and a two-hour non-stop flight from most eastern U.S. airports make Bermuda the perfect destination for a winter getaway. Another reason to visit the British island, located off North Carolina’s coast, soon: It will host to the 35th America’s Cup, presented by Louis Vuitton, in June 2017. That means the island is 1) getting a mega-makeover (read: new and redeveloped hotels, attractions and restaurants) and 2) becoming a training ground for athletes, especially those preparing for next year’s prestigious sailing race. Book a weekend at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club and watch the pros turn this 21-square-mile island into their outdoor gym. Get inspired to take your own fitness up a notch and sign up for yoga on the beach or paddleboard, kite surfing lessons, cycling on the historic 18-mile Railway Train, and more.
