Killien Only two and a half hours north of Toronto. Unknown even to most of the city's residents. A retreat on 5,000 acres. Contains pristine Canadian forest with lakes and trails ideal for picnics. Though it has five comfortable rooms in the main lodge, the seven lakefront bungalows are worth a splurge. (In winter, cross-country ski trails glisten under northern lights and echo with the call of wolves.) Doubles from $186, including breakfast and dinner. Inn at
Langley On Whidbey Island, north of Seattle in Puget Sound (where cows out-number people), the main town of Langley, which is accessible only by ferry, hasn't changed since the 1960s when it was a popular hippie vacation zone. Twenty-four guest rooms in a monastic cedar shake-and-shingle building on the beach overlook the sea. (Not a lot to do, but you can rent kayaks in town for expeditions through the Saratoga Passage.) Doubles from $199. Plettenberg
Park On a cliff above the Indian Ocean, Plettenberg Park is the place for a romantic retreat. In the white, Modernist, stucco-and-glass building furnished with African artifacts and sisal rugs, you can linger on the white sand beach, swim in the rock pool or just sit on your terrace and marvel at the dramatic, windswept setting, a 495-acre private nature reserve on South Africa's Garden Route. Doubles from $330, including all meals. Thanks
