Opened in 2009, the 88-room Rosewood Bermuda channels country club charm, which means you’ll find plenty of period antiques and plantation-style furniture. Keep your group busy with a visit to any of the resort’s four swimming pools, the croquet lawn, or the 6,300-yard golf course, which is considered to be one of the best on the island.
