DREAMSCAPES WINTER 2016/2017 12 SO CLOSE TO PARADISE ON MY LAST NIGHT IN BERMUDA, I SAT OUT ON THE TERRACE OF MY BEYOND-DECADENT SUITE AT THE ROSEWOOD TUCKER'S POINT WISHING I COULD STAY A FEW MORE DAYS, OR MAYBE A MONTH. I watched the pink sky fade out over the turquoise ocean, sipping on a coffee I had made to complement the spicy coconut cake I'd picked up at a local bakery earlier that day, and felt utterly, blissfully happy. Bermuda is heavenly, and I was so pleased to discover that, given it is so close to home. Just over two and half hours from Toronto, Bermuda is a wonderful mix of glo- rious weather and old-school British charm, where children sport school uniforms and red post office boxes and telephone booths still exist. Framed by famous pink-sand beaches every bit as perfect as you see on the postcards, the islands are beautiful, with superb waters ideal for diving, snorkelling, sailing and other water sports. On land, there are great golf courses, luxurious spas and excellent shopping. This destination has a lot going on. INTO THE BLUE A natural fit for any prestigious sailing event, Bermuda is currently deep in prepa- ration to host the 35 th America's Cup, presented by Louis Vuitton, for the first time from May 26 through June 27, 2017.
