Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa wins guests over again and again By Lisa Rogak
Warning: If you visit Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa on the quiet western end of Bermuda, be prepared to visit again—and again and again. 
Cambridge Beaches is the kind of low-key, relaxing resort that hits the spot for so many people that thereÂ’s actually a leaderboard outside its main dining room listing the names of repeat visitors and the number of times theyÂ’ve returned. (Currently, the number to beat is 85 times over 10 years.)
HereÂ’s why vacationers love Cambridge Beaches:Â There are 30 acres situated on a private peninsula overlooking Long Bay Beach and Mangrove Bay, where the gently rolling hills are dotted with 94 pastel-pink cottage-style rooms and suites with whitewashed roofs. Cambridge perfectly mixes subdued British flavor with a laid-back Bermudian flair: indulge in high tea, try a few rounds of croquet, or just relax on a private beach.
Cambridge Beaches features three restaurants, including the surfside Breezes, where guests can dine by candlelight right on the beach; the slightly more formal Tamarisk, which overlooks the marina and Mangrove Bay; or Shutters, for poolside snacks. A full array of treatments is offered at the Ocean Spa, from an Indian Head Massage to the Revive Jet Lag treatment. But why not spring for a massage at the Ocean Spa Pagoda in the Seaview Gardens? There, guests can enjoy lavish treatments while listening to the gentle waves lapping at the sand. 800-468-7300; cambridgebeaches.com.
