2 THE CONCIERGE CAMBRIDGE BEACHES WELCOME TO BermudaA
A jewel of an island out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Bermuda is world-renowned for its incredible beaches, colonial sites, and fantastic outdoor activities on land and at sea.
This British Overseas Territory enjoys a robust tourist economy thanks to its many natural gifts and legendary place in the lore of both naval and pirate history.
Over 70,000 people happily make Bermuda their home, with St. George’s laying claim to the highest population at about 2,000, while the capital of Hamilton is even smaller. A treasure trove of caves (such as the famous Crystal Caves), coves like Horseshoe Bay Beach, and striking seaside strolls are distributed throughout the island. Historical points of interest include The Royal Naval Dockyard, St. Peter’s Church, the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, Fort St. Catherine, Scaur Hill Fort, Admiralty House Park, and Fort Hamilton. The old streets of St. George’s are also well-known as a unique way to learn the story of Bermuda’s history via the legends behind the street names.

WELCOME TO A SPECIAL KIND OF PARADISE
Lush manicured gardens, intuitive staff and adults-only accommodations that reflect the timeless charm of this 355-year-old property.
You can almost feel the history and authentic Bermuda culture. Dating back to the 1660s this property has only changed hands 3 times with the current owners, a prominent Bermudian family – The Trott Family - since 1947. The Trott family and Cambridge Beaches are one; from the founding patriarch, Sir Howard Trott and now many fourth generation Trotts at the helm. Their fundamental guiding principle has never changed, to provide levels of individual caring service, privacy and comfort. Offering an endless number of activities while never impacting on those who seek the ability to do nothing at all, and do it well. Another guiding principle is to share our Bermuda history and culture, and never stray away from it – Cambridge Beaches is your Bermuda home.
For nearly 100 years, this resort has built a reputation as Bermuda’s finest vacation destination. Our guest lists are proof of that – countless authors, celebrities, CEOs and world leaders have visited us over the years. But we’ve never forgotten how it all began.
The Latin inscription on our coat of arms reads: “The First and The Best.” And it still holds true today.
Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa is the island’s first cottage colony and one of the oldest resorts on Bermuda. In fact, our property was a pioneer in cottage-style accommodations, which have been adopted by other popular resorts. Our property even includes a restored cottage that is 300 years old.
Over the years, we’ve named many of our accommodations after cherished return guests and long serving members of staff. This serves not only as a connection to our past, but also as a reminder of the high standards we must continue to uphold. We’re proud of our growing number of repeat guests and we show our appreciation by placing the name of those who have stayed with us at least five times on our repeat guest wall. So far, the record is 150 visits.

26 THE CONCIERGE CAMBRIDGE BEACHES 27 HOW WOULD YOU SPEND YOUR IDEAL DAY OFF?
It depends on how active one wants to be? Being Bermudian, we play it by ear and it always depends on the weather. During the spring and summer months, you will always find us on the water. Exploring the beaches, renting a motor boat, snorkeling or renting a jet ski. Finishing off with a long lunch or dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. During the fall and winter months it is a time for exploring and trying out new things. All the rage right now are the electric vehicles. Rent one for the day and choose to explore the western or eastern side of the island. Stop off at a pub and get to know the locals. If you are looking for an active pursuit, try a game Q&A with the of golf, or diving (the best visibility is during our winters), or our personal ConciergeQA Team favorite a spa day.

28 THE CONCIERGE CAMBRIDGE BEACHES 29 WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS INDIGENOUS TO YOUR HOTEL’S CITY?
We are located on the western side of the island, therefore have the best vantage point for the sunset. Additionally, Cambridge Beaches is situation on a peninsular, surrounded by water, so it is very easy to see sea turtles in our area. in the west end, we have the highest number of turtles in Bermuda, because we have the highest amount of sea grass, which turtles love to eat. Did you know that Bermuda is a nursery of turtles, none of them lay eggs here. Once the female reach maturity (30-50 years) they go back to where they were born (Florida or the Caribbean) and lay there eggs. So Bermuda is also a vacation spot for turtles.
WHEN A GUEST ASKS FOR A DINNER RESERVATION, WHAT MAKES YOU DECIDE ON ONE PLACE VS ANOTHER?
At least one of your evenings must be enjoyed at Breezes. Breezes is our beach front restaurant, with the only unobstructed view of the sunset. Breezes is only open for dinner mid May - October. There are many great restaurants on the island to choose from, by asking you the type of food you are interested in and ambiance, we will pick the right one for you. For example if guests are looking for a romantic evening with commanding views and a large menu, we would recommend Blu Restaurant. If a guest is looking for a food experience we would recommend Bolero. We have many restaurant experience to meet your tastes.
HOW CAN A GUEST BEST USE THE CONCIERGE SERVICES TO THEIR FULL POTENTIAL?
It is best to plan ahead. Email us at [email protected] with your vision of how your would like to spend your holiday with us. We will be happy to offer a multiple suggestions for enjoying a personalized Bermudian holiday.
CAN YOU RECOMMEND ANYWHERE UNUSUAL OR OFF THE BEATEN TRACK?
Visit a secluded beach. There are options to be your own private castaway in Bermuda. Firstly, rent a boat from our marina, armed with a packed lunch, snorkel equipment, you can explore private islands, or coves and enjoy in complete seclusion. If boating, isn’t your cup of tea, rent a moped or electric vehicle and the closest opportunity would be Southland Beach, located in Warwick parish. Alternatively, Cooper’s Island, located in St. David’s on a nature reserve; a must see.

Not long after settling in Bermuda in 1992, he launched Bermuda Clayworks LTD, now the Jon Faulkner Gallery, where he continues to develop his signature style. Working primarily in porcelain and high-fired stoneware, Faulkner fires his ceramics in an environmentally friendly salt-fired kiln, which he built himself in 2008. Faulkner develops all of his own glazes from scratch, and they mature in reduction at cone 10 (2360F) over a 16-hour long firing process. His technical approach has been featured in both Clay Times and Ceramic Review publications.

Address: 76 Pitts Bay Road Pembroke Hamilton, HM 08, Bermuda
Tel: +1 441-295-3000 www.fairmont.com/hamilton-bermuda
The art collection of the Hamilton Princess Hotel & Beach Club is remarkable. Inside the palatial pink traditional architecture is a renovated contemporary space with artworks from some of the great names of modern art: Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, René Magritte. These innovators, who challenged perceptions of art, lay the foundation for a collection that has embraced the Pop and Op art movements through to post-modernism.
The art collection is active. New works are mounted or moved often, thus emphasizing that the hotel is an alternative gallery space. It is well-curated, selected and arranged in a meaningful way that develops a narrative within the context of modern art, while creating a memorable experience.
