Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa, Bermuda

Long regarded as one of the most romantic adults-only resorts in the Atlantic, Cambridge Beaches rests on a 30-acre peninsula encircled by panoramic views of the ocean on two sides and Mangrove Bay on the third.

Rooms and suites are housed in charming pink-hued cottages scattered throughout manicured, subtropical gardens. Even standard rooms boast ocean views and so private are the cottages that it's easy to forget you're actually at a resort. For the ultimate in romance and privacy, opt for the Luxury Pool Suites, whose additional flourishes include jacuzzi baths, giant flatscreen TVs, Bose surround sound systems and their own infinity plunge pools - the only ones in Bermuda.

Beachside dining can be enjoyed at Breezes restaurant or overlooking Mangrove Bay from the terrace at the Tamarisk Room, where in a wonderful nod to the island's sartorial traditions, dress code includes Bermuda shorts worn with long socks. The 10,000-square-foot Ocean Spa includes a Roman-style solarium with a fully retractable sunroof, a freshwater pool, whirlpool, fitness centre, seven treatment rooms and a sizeable menu of treatments. Other facilities are just as diverse, ranging from a new multi-tiered infinity pool to a putting green, croquet lawn and a marina renting kayaks, motorboats and windsurfers.

The resort also features four gorgeous private beaches and several sandy coves, cementing once and for all Cambridge Beaches' reputation as a truly world-class resort.
