Hotel at a Glance: Grotto Bay Beach Resort & Spa

At Grotto Bay Beach Resort & Spa, you can swim through the subterranean caves from which it takes its name. They’re located along the shore, where the hotel’s trio of private pink-sand beaches gives way to a lush tropical forest preserve. Go snorkeling, paddleboarding, and kayaking in the warm, clear waters; experienced sailors can set sail on rental sailboats and windsurfers (seasonal).

• Optional all-inclusive packages cover all meals, unlimited beverages (alcoholic and nonalcoholic), nonmotorized watersports, and unlimited bus and ferry passes.
• The Hibiscus Dining Room—one of two onsite restaurants—plates gourmet dishes such as Guinness-braised lamb shank and Bermuda fish cake.
• Take a dip in the freshwater pool and lounge in the outdoor hot tub, located in a garden above the beach.
• Recently renovated rooms have contemporary island decor and views of the turquoise sea from the patios. They’re located in small, colorful cottages not far from the beach.
• Get pampered at the onsite Natura Cave Spa. Built inside a cave, this spa offers treatments such as a hot-stone massage, organic facial, or body scrub (additional charges apply).

Bailey’s Bay, Bermuda: Peaceful Parish Close to Historic Towns and Capital City

Removed from the frenetic pace of central Bermuda, Bailey’s Bay has a secluded feel and spectacular natural attractions. The town flirts with the Bermuda coast, where you can kayak above coral reefs and wrecked ships. Dive shops equip certified and non-certified explorers for tank dives and snorkeling trips, where divers observe Bermuda’s exotic marine life.

A short bus ride north will get you to the 400-year-old town of St. George, which showcases Bermuda’s history in well-kept buildings, monuments, and forts dating back to 1612. Shoppers can stroll along colonial streets to browse the wares of craft vendors and watch costumed reenactments of historical incidents around the square’s replica stocks and pillory. About a block away, Saint Peter’s Church—one of the oldest Anglican churches in the Western Hemisphere—touts tombstones and ancient architecture.
