The spectacular pink sands and colonial charm of Bermuda set the perfect scene for a magical escape. The laidback lifestyle, balmy climate and unabashed luxury have become a magnet to anyone seeking peace, pampering and, something that comes quite naturally to this idyllic island, romance! With so much excellent Bermuda accommodation from which to choose, if you're not familiar with the island it can be slightly overwhelming. I've spent many years helping clients plan the perfect romantic holiday so I'm happy to share a little of the insider knowledge I've gleaned. All in the name of love, of course. Rosedon - Hamilton The sophisticated old world glamour of the Rosedon takes you back to a time where romance held centre stage. As soon as you walk through the doors of this beautiful colonial style hotel you can sense you're in good hands, but it's a lovely understated grandeur. The garden wing rooms offer delightful terraces overlooking lush, tropical gardens where you can have a leisurely sundowner before strolling the short distance into town for dinner. Retire early to your elegant room and sleep in late, before enjoying the sumptuous room service breakfast. While the staff here are warm and welcoming, their discreet, unobtrusive presence is the perfect complement to the intimate, informal ambience of the hotel. The Reefs Hotel and Club Suites – Southampton With an outlook so beautiful it's almost surreal, the Reefs is among the most iconic Bermuda accommodation I recommend to clients. Set against a palette of pastel blue skies, turquoise ocean and pink sand beaches, the choice of suites and spectacular vantage affords an indulgent level of luxury and romance. For the ultimate escape, book into one of the three Point Suites, where you can sip champagne on the balcony in your private Jacuzzi and relax amidst the casually elegant décor – all with a front row seat to the Atlantic. If the stress of all the sunbathing, fine dining and doing nothing proves too much, La Serena spa is on hand for a couple's massage or exotic wellness treatment. Bermudian beachfront romance at its very best… Pompano Beach Club - Hamilton If you're after a truly private getaway, the stylish seclusion of Pompano Beach Club feels like you could be on a different planet – albeit a very beautiful one – yet it's just a few miles from Hamilton. Emanating a cool, tropical sophistication, the drama of its picturesque oceanfront location and the laidback luxury of the suites set the scene for optimal relaxation. Being owner-managed means that the level of service and attention to detail is superb, and while the staff are on hand to attend to your every need, visitors' privacy is respected – so you can be as sociable or solitary as you like. Indulgent facilities and one of the world's most spectacular natural panoramas are right at your fingertips – how you spend all that romantic currency is up to you… Royal Palms - Hamilton The chic colonial charm of the Royal Palms offers romance on a royal scale. This exclusive Bermuda accommodation has such a delightfully casual ambience it's easy to take the level of luxury and service for granted. While the tranquil gardens, mews cottages and superb manor house accommodation take you back to centuries past, the deluxe facilities and fine dining caters to a more contemporary benchmark. In the ideal fusion of romance, the gardens and intimate pool area ooze old Hollywood glamour, while the complimentary wine hour on the veranda provides the inimitable British touch. For those who like the finer things in life (and who doesn't?), the family-run Royal Palms manages to deliver everything you need and more, with a complete lack of pretension. Very hard to resist and very addictive – you'll be back… John Dixon is an experienced world traveller and the Managing Director of Prestige Holidays.
