Vogue's Bermuda Travel Guide: Art, History, and Hidden Beaches
Vogue's Bermuda travel guide highlights the island's pink-sand beaches, historic sites, and luxury accommodations. Key attractions include the Pan Am Sky Club Murals at Rosewood Bermuda, an 80-foot-long mural by Hong Kong resident Gerard D'Alton Henderson originally commissioned by Juan Trippe in 1965 for the Pan Am Building in New York, transported to Tucker's Point Hotel & Spa in 2005. The guide recommends Rosewood Bermuda in Tucker's Town for celebrities, Rosedon Hotel in Hamilton for old-world charm, and The Loren Bermuda for modern design. Dining spots include Devil's Isle for organic fare, Tom Moore's Tavern for authentic Bermudian cuisine, and The Pickled Onion. Shopping highlights TABS for Bermuda shorts by Rebecca Singleton, Isla Botanica for fragrances, and Salt + Cedar for green beauty products. Activities include biking the Bermuda Railway Trail, visiting Castle Island's 17th-century fort, snorkeling shipwrecks like HMS Vixen, and freediving with Traveler Charters. The guide also mentions OM Juicery for cold-pressed juices and the invasive lionfish dinner experience at The Loren.
