PROPERTY HIGHLIGHT
Rosewood Bermuda: A stunning resort on everyone's favorite island brings forward the Juniper Initiative.
May 15, 2024
Bermuda lies less than 800 miles from New York City but feels like another planet. This lush green island is abloom with bougainville that climbs along the facades of charming cottages. Thirty-four glorious beaches hug the 75 miles of coast-line, with those on the south part of the island having pink sand.
I have a long history with this charming paradise, having spent one summer of my misguided youth working on a cruiseship that docked each weekend in Hamilton, the capital. Although I visited from time to time over the years, my last visit this past summer was my first return in 15 years. Lucky folks who happen to own homes in this British territory include billionaires like Michael Bloomberg and Hollywood celebrities like Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Rosewood Hotel Group prides itself on naming PlaceMakers, residents who represent the corporation's commitment to local culture and environmental projects that effect the community. Rosewood Bermuda's current PlaceMaker is Sarah Bray, a beautiful expat who married a Bermudian and now designs unique geranium sun hats from biodegradable palm leaves, many trimmed with vintage ribbons. Twenty percent of each sale will be donated to the Bermuda National Trust to plant more Bermuda native cedar trees. Rosewood Bermuda also donates proceeds from its seasonal cocktails to the Bermuda National Trust's cedar planting program.
New Yorkers need not worry about dining out: The resort features delicious food offered by seven restaurants and bars. From fresh sushi at the Beach Club restaurant to gourmet fare at the Island Brasserie, expect the unexpected. The hotel also offers high tea on the weekends, which is quite popular with locals. Enjoy a slice of paradise.
