Secluded cottage resort with five beaches Set on a 30 acre peninsula between the ocean and a large bay on the west end, this resort features five beaches and pink cottages.
Accommodations consist of ocean view, air conditioned rooms, suites, and individual cottages, one dating to the late 17th century.
Tranquil resort, a health spa, indoor and outdoor pools, and an aura of Bermudian history draw an international clientele. The resort offers 94 guestrooms and suites in one and two story pink and white cottages scattered over a 30 acre peninsula on Bermuda's west side. Some cottages are available only as complete units. One cottage dates from the late 17th century. Others date from the early 1800s when they housed workers for the British Royal Naval Dockyard about 3 miles north. These still bear the names of their last residents. Some cottages began being used for guests in the 1920s, and the resort grew by buying other cottages over the decades. Now, all buildings on the peninsula are part of the resort.
All rooms, suites, and cottages are air conditioned and also include ceiling fans as a cooling alternative. Ground floor patios or second floor balconies come furnished with lounge chairs and dining sets. CD player/AM FM radios as well as televisions with U.S. cable channels and pay movies offer entertainment. Adjacent to a seafarers' type tavern, a wall festooned with the names of longtime guests attests to the resort's capacity to inspire loyalty. Widely spaced on the 30 acre peninsula and separated by lawns and flowering gardens, guest cottages occupy rolling terrain, forming a pink and white community under coconut palms and ancient Flamboyant trees. The open Atlantic Ocean borders the resort's north side, and Mangrove Bay borders its south side. Tranquility reigns. Children under age 5 are not permitted. Five pink sand beaches are on the peninsula. The largest, Long Bay, runs 125 yards along the open Atlantic Ocean and is furnished with thatch shades and lounge chairs. Long Bay Café offers lunch and tropical drinks next to the beach. Two pools provide freshwater swimming. An indoor pool with retractable skylight roof is part of a health and beauty spa. A heated, 45 foot square outdoor pool includes a large sundeck furnished with lounge chairs and umbrellas and offers a poolside bar. Steps lead from the pool deck to Morning Beach on Mangrove Bay.
Concierge tip: Three days weekly, the resort provides complimentary 20 minute ferry rides to downtown Hamilton for shopping, dining, and sightseeing. The resort's health and beauty spa features a 30 by 15 foot indoor pool.
