Your Own Private Escape in Bermuda

Bermuda has long been an exclusive getaway — but now a new destination has upped the ante.

It’s called Hawkins Island, and this new retreat offers the best of Bermudian hospitality with a private-island touch.

Hawkins Island has completed its first phase, launching rentals of the island’s Main Villa and Guard House, a luxe getaway that comes with its own private chef.

Hawkins’ main villa sleeps eight guests across a two-bedroom master suite and two one-bedroom units, while the guard house accommodates another eight guests.

The 25-acre Hawkins Island is set in Bermuda’s Great Sound — and it once belonged to the Royal Navy.

Now, it’s your own private escape in Bermuda.

For more information, visit Hawkins Island.
