This week, we’ll visit two gorgeous, iconic Bermy properties - The Hamilton Princess & Beach Club and Rosewood Bermuda - and experience all they have to offer. In addition to our engaging presenters, Shiloh Walen-Roque and Tess Hill from The Hamilton Princess and Tyler Svetich with Rosewood Bermuda, our lively host and moderator will be Donna Douglas with the Bermuda Tourism Authority.
We want to see how you ‘Think Pink’ this week! Bermuda is known for its luscious pink sand, and we want your outfits this week to reflect the beachy-keen style of Bermudians - island comfort, straw hats, Bermuda shorts (of course!) and as much pink as you can swing!
And if you ‘go big’ this week, you just might win the 2-night stay at the beautiful Hamilton Princess & Beach Club offered up by Shiloh and Tess, plus transfers and a 3-hour island tour provided by Bermuda Tourism Authority!

My passion for Hospitality can be traced back to growing up in my family’s restaurants. Whether “selling” my favorite dish to customers, helping in the kitchen, or organizing deliveries, I was entrenched with a passion for service at a young age. After attending Auburn University’s Hotel and Restaurant Management program (War Eagle!), I found my way back to hospitality via Conference Services & Sales. With now almost 10 years with Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, I continue to be a disciplined and detail-oriented leader with a focus on revenue production, strong relationship acquisition skills and creative leadership. The constant need to be a part of a team that strives for excellence, appreciates ongoing client relationships, and cohesively strategize for the betterment of the guest experience is intoxicating and keeps me invested into our wonderful industry. After work, I can usually be found with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc in hand or Diet Coke from McDonalds!
Rediscover Bermuda
‘Sometimes, you simply don’t want to be found,’ reads the byline on the Bermuda Tourism Authority’s website. Yeah, we get it. And what a jewel of a place to get lost in. This week, we’ll explore the three main areas of Bermuda: the West End, the East End, and Central Bermuda, all three unique, picturesque, and historic. Here’s a quick glimpse:
West End:
HISTORIC DOCKYARD & South Shore Beaches
One of Bermuda’s most popular destinations, the historic Royal Naval Dockyard anchors the West End. The Dockyard is home to a major cruise ship port and serves as a hub for sightseeing, shopping, dining, entertainment and an array of island experiences. Nearby, you’ll find many of the renowned South Shore beaches, including Horseshoe Bay and Warwick Long Bay. Climb up Gibbs Hill Lighthouse for panoramic views of the South Shore, and explore the village of Somerset, home to calm bays, candy-coloured churches and the most photogenic little drawbridge you’ll ever see.
Central Bermuda:
PARKS, GARDENS & a Cosmopolitan Capital
Central Bermuda is home to the capital City of Hamilton, a harbour town known for its blend of global sophistication, vibrant nightlife and local flavour. Enjoy dining, shopping, dance clubs and the island’s most cosmopolitan culture along Front Street downtown, and find great beaches, botanical gardens, lush parks and oceanfront golf nearby. There is cachet attached to living “close to town,” and adjoining Paget Parish is home to some of the classiest real estate in the world.
East End:
NATURAL WONDERS & Bermuda’s Beginnings
Step back in time as you stroll the centuries-old brick streets of the Town of St. George, Bermuda’s former capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The well-preserved historic town and nearby fortress make St. George’s and the East End a haven for British colonial architecture, history and culture. Nearby, discover many unique natural attractions, including the limestone formations of Tobacco Bay Beach, Tom Moore’s Jungle and the Crystal Caves of Bermuda. Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve and Ferry Reach National Park are both flush with flora and birdlife, including several rare species.

Bermuda’s only full-service hotel marina is the gateway to adventure: world-class yachting amenities, exhilarating water sports, and after sunset celebrations. Historic splendour. Modern luxury. For over a century, the iconic “Pink Palace” has embraced Bermuda’s elite travelers.

Rosewood Bermuda - Hamilton Parish, Bermuda

POOLSIDE OR BEACHSIDE? WHAT A TERRIFIC CHOICE.
Available seasonally from March to October, Tucker’s Point Beach Club is a private beachside haven dedicated to pleasure and leisure. The private enclave welcomes guests to enjoy the island’s largest private pink sand beach, as well as two freshwater swimming pools. The Horizon Pool is reserved for guests aged 13 and older, while the Fountain Pool is perfect for families.
Diners will delight at the seasonal open-air Beach Club Restaurant, a dining terrace and bar pavilion that overlooks the picturesque South Shore and the Atlantic Ocean.
