Colonial Williamsburg may only be 3 miles down the road, but the Kingsmill Resort is decidedly 21st century. This playground for adults attracts golfers, tennis players, and those seeking rest and relaxation to its 2,900 manicured acres along the James River. Three 18-hole golf courses and a nine-hole par-three course challenge and charm players, while the Golf Academy provides clinics and individual instruction. Tennis players take their pick from fast-drying clay, Deco-Turf, and hydro courts at the state-of-the-art facility, while other racquet sports and a fitness center are discovered at the Sports Club. The spa rejuvenates and restores with its wide variety of treatments. After a day filled with activities, hearty appetites are always satisfied at the resort’s six restaurants and lounges.
