Bermuda Voted Best Island In Caribbean/Atlantic
Bermuda has once again been voted “Best Island in the Caribbean/Atlantic” by readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine.
The awards appear in the November issue [on newsstands today in New York and Los Angeles] and are derived from the Condé Nast Traveler 25th Annual Readers’ Choice survey. This year a record 46,476 readers participated in the survey and Bermuda received high marks for its scenery, friendliness and ambiance.
One reader cited Bermuda for its, “…endless activities: historical sites, golf, scooters, superb shopping and dining, museums, gardens, perfumeries and aquariums, too!” while others noted the island’s “fun blend of British, American, and Caribbean Culture,” and “pink sand beaches and aqua blue waters.”
In addition to Bermuda’s top island honour, several Bermuda resort properties were once more ranked highly in the Readers’ Choice poll including The Reefs, which was again voted favorite resort in the Atlantic.
Other Bermuda properties among the “Top 12 Resorts in The Atlantic” were: Pink Beach Club (3rd), Rosewood Tucker’s Point (5th), Cambridge Beaches (8th), and Fairmont Southampton (10th).
“It is a tremendous honour for Bermuda to be selected by Condé Nast Traveler’s discerning readers as the number one travel destination among all of the Atlantic and Caribbean islands,” said Minister of Business Development and Tourism Wayne Furbert.
“The magazine’s readers are known to be frequent and highly sophisticated travelers and their award shows that Bermuda indeed has so much more to offer. It is a testament to our wonderful Bermudian people and our fantastic resort partners that our island is considered so favourably.”
I agree! BERMUDA is the most beautiful island in the world!!!I am not surprised that people will find this island, surrounded by pure ocean; to be enchanting, warm, totally amazing infrustructure, but most importantly the island itself is absolutely adorable, I’ve been here over fifty years and every day I still gasp at the beauty of the flora, fauna, trees, houses and winding roads..and I am a PURE BERMUDIAN born and bred..thanks for the vote of confidence!!!The people are also very unique and the mould was broken..When they say BERMUDA they can only mean us!!
I agree and most also agree… When you drive around this Island no matter how long you’ve lived here or how many times u visit, It is Beautiful!
I agree x3! Try living off Island or travel internationally for awhile, and you want to return home to Bermuda’s colorful pastel homes with white icing roof tops, beautiful botanical floral and crystal clear waters, with clean streets and fresh air! Oh, and yes, friendly Bermudians, hospitality is in our blood! True Bermudians… Bermuda is the best! GO, BERMUDA!
Wow they must have not researched to well,come to Bermuda we will charge you more then you make and take more then you are willing to give and leave you with a lot less then you expect and the best thing is you cant get a better deal then that NO WHERE in the whole damn carribean,not to mention WE ARE NOT IN THE CARRIBEAN.
@ Duane Santucci–Yes we are not in the Carribean, the article stated Carribean/Atlanta which means either the Carribean and Atlantic ocean…Despite the political arena, our island is beautiful,can’t deny.
The article and award is not representative of expenses, it speaks of our islands scenery, friendliness and ambiance. Simple grammer really, try re-reading so you can better understand the article.
This is a sincere question – are Pink Beach and Cambridge Beaches open still? I thought they had both closed down.
Wow you should take a drive around your island sometime… They are both open..!! And have been for some time, please get some product knowledge of your country if you live there.
Endless activities? Superb Shopping… dunno which Bermuda they went to because its certainly not here!
Lots of things to do in Bda, jetskiing, kitesurfing, parachuting from the back of a boat, sailing, snorkeling, scuba diving, horse back riding, horse and buggy, nature walking, cycle renting, golf, glass bottom boat, rock climbing, historical museums, boat tours, train tours, water skiing, etc…..Just because you don’t like to do any of these doesn’t mean Bermuda is boring and there is nothing to do.
Pink Beaches is open for now and Cambridge Beaches is still open.
