“Nicknamed ‘Bermuda’s best-kept secret,’ this super-secluded retreat offers stunning clifftop panoramas from spacious seaside cottages. Two private beaches, water sports, lush gardens, and a tranquil atmosphere make it the perfect escape for those seeking peace and beauty by the sea.”

Hotel review

Delightfully remote in Somerset Village, this hotel declares itself a “home away from home oasis offering color, picturesque views, and seaside charm.” Originally a Christian retreat, it still maintains its chapel and non-profit status. The resort retains a spiritual and peaceful atmosphere, with its quaint chapel still standing as a testament to its roots.

This cottage colony offers either an ocean or garden view, named after local flowers such as Tamarisk, Hibiscus, and Frangipani, with both private and semi-private balconies and patios. The bungalow-like rooms are painted in yellow, pink, and blue pastels. They are spaciously arranged across eight of the spongiest and greenest acres of lawns. Inside, there’s plenty of room with Queen-sized beds and an all-white interior, offset by patterned cushions and curtains to add a splash of color. Renovations are currently underway, with some rooms set to include kitchenettes.

On the property is a large grand hall with antique furniture, a piano, and a fireplace. The staff are super-friendly, characterful, and attentive. There are two private beaches, water sports, a gym and pool, and a tennis and pickleball court. It’s also a popular wedding and conference venue. A chic seaside hotel offering all that’s needed at the end of the day.
