Simply Abu Dhabi XXXI

TWIN FARMS W hen folklore and finesse meet, Twin Farms pops up on our romantic radar without any doubt. This adult-only resort sits on 300 acres in beautiful vermont’s pine-clad countryside. Swooping views and flowing hillsides surround this heart- warming place, only half an hour from NYC. Here, in the midst of nature every secluded bend or magnificent tree is there to become an ideal setting to indulge in gastronomy and fine relaxation. As it is a given in this uber-romantic landscape, a picnic near the lake or lazy lunch in the shade of trees is a must—adding the finest of cuisine and eye for the ultimate head-in-the-clouds detail. The cottages are cute and comfortable, adorned with stone fireplaces, fine linens and handcrafted elements. Tucked away amid black cherry, apple, ash and cedar trees or nestled under a majestic spruce, nature surrounds these darling places; shielding curiosity and highlighting the beauty of vermont. This setting underlines the attention to privacy to the fullest—you almost wish you did not have to leave. But if one must, opt for the outdoors: cycling, croquet or canoeing in spring and summer; or snowshoeing, downhill skiing and even ice-skating on the lake in the colder months. Or head to the spa, soak Japanese Furo-style and relax to the calming sounds of nature—a perfect pensive escape from everyday life. www.twinfarms.com
