...Take a Hike Destinations to restore your sense of wonder One of the steamiest spas is the Blue Lagoon, a 40-minute drive from Reykjavik, and set dramatically in a wilderness of moss-covered rocks. On a cold day its milky blue waters resemble a misty version of Heaven. Spa options range from massages on a float in the water to a facial with the lagoon's silvery-gray silt, which is said to have healing properties. Inevitably, there's also a boutique selling the Blue Lagoon's very own cosmetics, and an excellent seafood restaurant. Warning: stray too close...
...designed by Studio Sofield (the team behind Gucci's boutiques). Originally scheduled to open in Manhattan this fall, the club now plans to open in spring 2005.

You'll find everything from hot-stone treatments to Vichy showers on the menu?but if that all seems a bit bracing, repair to the poolside Grill, where designer barbecue and long tall drinks await. Rooms from about $330 a night, plus...
...initial stages of the encounter were never in dispute. Bryant, in Colorado to undergo a knee operation at a clinic in Vail, checks into the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera in nearby Edwards on June 30, 2003. The front-desk clerk, a 19-year-old woman, shows him around the place and later visits him in his room, anticipating a brush with fame. They kiss by mutual agreement. Then they have sex: forced, she says; consensual, he says. He is arrested on July 4 and two weeks later charged with felony sexual assault...
