Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa
Bermuda
Somerset Village
Vibe
Pink-sand shores and manicured lawns frame a breezy peninsula colony where days revolve around croquet, coastal sailing, and calm water views.
“Pastel cottage keep”
A 1923 cottage colony anchored by a seventeenth-century sea captain house set across a private peninsula.
A 23-acre peninsula campus featuring four private pink-sand beaches, on-site water sports, and multiple waterfront venues.
An enduring country club estate where multi-generational repeat guests gather for croquet, daily parlour tea, and quiet traditions.
On a private western peninsula between Long Bay and Mangrove Bay, away from the city.
“It still retains all of its charm today, with cute pastel-hued cottages and suites spread across the private peninsula…”
Rooms
Cottages feature private furnished patios facing the water, decorated with wicker seating, shuttered closets, and vibrant coral and seafoam accents.
“How Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa separates itself from others is that it provides varied views and landscapes across its property.”
Wellness
The Aquarian Baths feature a skylit solarium pool, aroma steam rooms, and a dry cedar sauna alongside European and Ayurvedic spa rituals.
“Rooms are all inside one of the 86 quaint pink cottages that are spread across the property.”
Backstory
Centred around a 1600s sea captain house, the estate opened in 1923 as Bermuda's first cottage colony resort.
“Though an English country club vibe prevails in many of the public spaces (think tennis whites and croquet on the lawn), the rooms are anything but stuffy,”
Eat & drink
Sip craft cocktails in the shipwreck-themed Sunken Harbor Club tavern, or enjoy freshly grilled local seafood right on the beach at Breezes.
The neighborhood
Occupying its own 23-acre western peninsula in Sandys Parish, the estate sits moments from quiet Somerset Village and surrounding reef waters.
The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
