Bermuda's Cottage Colony" Hotels"

Bermuda conjures up images of British formalities and for good reason. A self governing English colony, it retains traditions set in place more than a century ago: Afternoon tea is served between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., and the chief justice and other officers of the Supreme Court don powdered wigs. Bermuda has its own flavor, too, from the traditional pastel-colored houses to the absence of high-rises and neon signs.

But over the past few years, the island's proudly proper style has loosened up a bit, and nowhere is this more evident than at its cottage-colony hotels. At these clusters of villas—some featuring individual cottages, others with buildings that house two or three suites—formal dinner dress was once required, but now a country-club-casual look is the new standard. Modern spas are as common today as croquet courts. And the cottages themselves are just as likely to have a hot tub and an Internet connection as they are to have sea views and whitewashed porches. Read on for some of our favorite honeymoon-worthy spots.
