“You can go to heaven if you want. I’d rather stay in Bermuda.”— Mark Twain
Tied to the stigma of unexplainable disappearances, Bermuda has long been associated with the conspiracy of the triangular region bounded by Miami and Puerto Rico in the North Atlantic Ocean. However, this British Overseas territory is more than a mystery.
Home to one of the world’s most expensive cities, Hamilton, Bermuda is truly spectacular. Let the pristine, pastel buildings beneath white-stepped rooftops lead the way through the picturesque isle.
Wake up at Cambridge Beaches Resort and Spa
At the tip of the island, on the west coast, sits the Cambridge Beaches Resort and Spa. Coral cottages are planted throughout the resort, set between the manicured putting greens and majestic, windswept palm trees.
Awaken at dawn and watch as pink clouds appear amidst the fiery orange streaks in the powdery blue sky. fancy being the first to leave a trail in the fresh white sand? A sunrise swim to remember at the resort’s private beach, Breezes. If you’re lucky, you might also catch the sea turtles whilst they’re still at shore.
In addition to Breezes, there are three other private beaches and two private coves at Cambridge Beaches Resort and Spa. Boasting water views in all but one of their rooms, the property has undergone renovation, introducing new contemporary art deco interiors to add a fresh breath of life to a heritage island gem, steeped with tradition.
Retaining remnants of 300-year-old beams, Cambridge Beaches Resort and Spa was the first of its kind to take up the cottage style. This year, they celebrate 100 years of admirable service.
As you head to breakfast, you will be greeted with the sound of boisterous Great Kiskadees. The chirpy, yellow-bellied birds are found all over the island and make for a pretty sight.

With wax-like formations of every size and shape imaginable, one cave kiss from above, into the waters creates a beautiful ripple, one cave kiss on you, however, grants a finer gesture… ten years of good luck.
