The Super Yacht Guide to Relaxation & Rejuvenation in Bermuda

Where to Stay

Docking in Bermuda brings a change of scenery – and a change of sleeping quarters. Settle in at one of the island’s top luxury properties and get immersed in all the comforts and amenities of resort life.

East End: Check into The St. Regis Bermuda Resort, a stunning new oceanfront property blending the prestigious St. Regis brand with Bermuda’s storied island beauty. Down the road, the Rosewood Bermuda on Castle Harbour caters to discerning guests with its acclaimed spa, 18-hole private golf course, private pink-sand beach, and culinary offerings. Nearby, The Loren Hotel captivates with its modern design and panoramic ocean views. 

East End properties are a short drive from the St. George's Marina and Superyacht Dock, or you can anchor in Castle Harbour or St. George's Harbour. Bermuda Yacht Services, a 24-hour concierge service, is based in St. George’s but serves yachts anywhere on the island. 

Central Bermuda: The iconic Hamilton Princess & Beach Club (known as the Pink Palace) is only a five-minute walk from shopping, dining, and nightlife in the City of Hamilton. Overlooking Hamilton Harbour, this waterfront gem boasts an impressive art collection, multiple dining establishments, an infinity pool, and the 59-berth Princess Marina.

West End: Cambridge Beaches is an exclusive retreat with well-appointed cottage-style rooms; some cottages even feature private pools. You’ll also enjoy four private beaches, three onsite restaurants, a European-style spa, and a full-service marina.

Enjoy the Ultimate Marine Moments

Surrounded by pristine ocean, Bermuda makes it easy to dive into the health benefits of sea swimming. Saltwater swims are good for your skin, heart, immune system, and general well-being. Want to go deeper? Try scuba diving at one of more than 300 shipwrecks around the island. While most of the sunken treasure is long gone, shipwreck diving is a golden opportunity to spot marine life such as colourful coral, tropical fish, rays, and more.

Indulge in a Treatment at Natura Spa 

Descend into the 500,000-year-old Prospero’s Cave and float on a crystal-clear subterranean lake for a spa experience that feels transcendent. Natura Spa at Grotto Bay Beach Resort & Spa on the East End offers a full range of services in an otherworldly setting. Enjoy a soothing hot stone massage, try a purifying Marine Algae Body Wrap, or soak up the restorative power of a four-handed massage.

Swim at Blue Hole Park 

For an invigorating swim, take a dip at Blue Hole Park in Tom Moore’s Jungle on the island’s East End. This secluded natural pool draws you to its azure waters, which are surrounded by lush forest and (more often than not) quiet seclusion. Throughout the 12-acre park, underground tunnels replenish the pools and caves with a steady supply of water. The park is also ideal for spelunking, snorkelling, hiking, and wildlife viewing.

Do a Private Yoga Session on board your Yacht 

Enjoy a revitalising session with Salt Yoga, which offers private yoga instruction all around Bermuda. The experienced, passionate practitioners serve all experience levels and can customise a session or workshop for you. For the more adventurous yogis, paddleboard around the island for an invigorating way to connect with nature. Starting the day centered on movement and mindfulness opens the door to sublime experiences.

Go For a Private Cave Swim at Leamington Caves

While the spectacular underground realm of Leamington Caves is the main attraction, the tropical gardens and architectural wonders of this stellar property make it a true national treasure. Rent the main house or guest house and enjoy private cave swimming in a deep pool of turquoise water surrounded by dramatic stalagmites and stalagtites. It’s a relaxing adventure with a fairytale feel.

Play Golf with Panoramic Island Views 

Tee off at one of Bermuda’s incredible waterfront golf courses for a game you’ll never forget.

Top off the experience with a glass of Champagne, a garden stroll, or both at Huckleberry Restaurant or Lili Bermuda Perfumery.

Take a Private Tennis Lesson

The game has strong roots in Bermuda – Mary Ewing Outerbridge, an American born to Bermudian parents, brought the game back to the U.S. after visiting Bermuda and is considered to be “the Mother of American tennis.” Find places to play and seek out private instruction at Bermuda’s tennis hub.
