Part-owned by actor Michael Douglas, who is half-Bermudian, this uber-luxurious colony of suites and private cottages is due to finally reopen in 2017 after going extensive, ecologically sensitive refurbishment. Expect fine dining, an on-site spa, natural saltwater tidal pools and a freshwater pool to unwind in, and seamless service. This is the only hotel in the Devonshire parish.
