Bermuda: The There There

Bermuda’s harbor

The America’s Cup put Bermuda on the map again for good reason: the island could not be more  picturesque, the beaches are beautiful, the locals are beyond friendly and you can fly to Bermuda in the morning and be on the beach by noon!  

SNOOZE 

For those trend-makers, The Loren  is the  1st luxury boutique hotel to open in Bermuda in 45 years. It’s uber  sophisticated & sexy.
Think Aman resorts meets  Nikki Beach. 

For those seeking an elegant retreat, Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa has the look of an English Country home with a playful, colorful twist.
Think the Carlyle Hotel meets  The Whitby. 

For those upscale Millennials seeking some fun in the sun, The Hamilton Princess Hotel & Beach Club is calling your name.
Think South Beach meets South Hampton. 

For those seeking a perfect family resort, Rosewood Tucker’s Point is your ticket to paradise.
Think babies meet baby boomers. 

For those wanting to chill, The Reefs Hotel & Club  is peaceful and private.
Think anywhere without noise!

BOOZE         

There’s no signage, no shingle, no indication that ‘Yours Truly’ exists–the only way you would discover this newly opened speakeasy with the chic crowd,  talented mixologists and world class cocktails is if  ‘yours truly’  told you…meaning me. You can thank me in the morning!!!

Yours Truly, 2 Chancery Lane, Hamilton, Bermuda 

CHEWS 

Marcus Samuelsson’s latest ,  greatest restaurant, Marcus’ Bermuda in the Hamilton Princess Hotel , is  mouthwateringly delish. The cuisine is a  Bermuda,  Red Rooster, Scandinavian hybrid . It’s one of the hottest restaurants on the island with a cool vibe ..nothing is lukewarm here! 

Blu Restaurant is my new go-to favorite! The menu is eclectic , but every single dish is sea , farm or earth to table fresh and fantastic. With breathtaking views,  the only negative is you have to make a reservation way in advance if you want to dine at Blu…unless you know me , of course.   

What do you get when you combine Whole Foods, Fairway and Dean & DeLuca all rolled into one ? Miles Market is a fantastic gourmet/deli/prepared food /vegetable & fruit market that is surprisingly addictive when you have so many fabulous restaurant options to choose from!

Jumping on the Bermuda bandwagon, look for a Ritz Carlton Reserve to open in Southampton in 2018 . Also breaking ground,  the  St Regis is scheduled to open in St George in 2019 which will be approximately  20  minutes away from the new, improved airport that is currently being built.
