The pink sands and fairytale Fairmont resorts are calling you

By Judi McLeod

It’s almost November and sleigh bells are already calling out to some people. Silver bells beckon the busy inhabitants of cosmopolitan cities. But the lucky ones are responding to the call of Bermuda’s pink sands.

The holidays call for a special setting. And what could be any more special than the fairytale setting of a holiday season island-style of the Fairmont Princess and the Fairmont Southampton in Bermuda?

British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands, who are consistently recognized as one of the most breathtaking destinations in the world and the undisputed Sailing Capital of the World, presents 60 islands for exploring its secrets.

Tortola- City Centre

The largest island in the BVI, Tortula, creates a long lasting impression---it features more than 30 bays that are sheltered by impressive slopes of mountainous peaks that dominate the land. Sitting on the highest point, the Sage Mountain National Park, contains a primeval rainforest hidden deep inside.

Home to the most hotel rooms in the British Virgin Islands, both on land and water.

Tortola exudes generosity and warmth at more than 70 locally-owned hideaways, including the gingerbread Belmont House, surrounded by woods and overlooking Smuggler's Cove, and the Ole Works Inn, 18 rooms built onto the hillside of a 320-year old sugar mill.
