Highs & Lows
-
One of the best sunsets on the island at Breeze's Sundowner Lounge. A cocktail and a rocking chair = breathless
-
Multiple beaches on the property! They are not far from each other, making it easy to experience a different vibe from each one
-
The Sunken Harbor Club is a hidden gem. This vintage "nautical cocktail bar" will be sure to take you on a journey with their specialty cocktails
-
The ocean views from each cottage at Cambridge Beaches is gorgeous
-
The most comfortable bed I have ever slept on
-
Water sports rentals on the property. Kayaking, Jet skiing, paddle boarding, snorkeling, and boat rentals make it very easy for an offsite island exploration
-
It's a 45-minute cab ride from the airport, but it is worth it once you get to this secluded peninsula. There's nothing like it anywhere on the island

While Cambridge Beaches isn't a nightlife hot spot, The Sunken Harbor Club — the award-winning Brooklyn bar — makes up for it. This bar is the perfect spot for a turn-up or a nightcap before bed, with specialty cocktails from Bermudian mixologist Daniel Moik. If you're seeking more action, the hotel can arrange a cab to take you to any local happenings
