Spectacular seascapes from an eco-friendly setting, tasty cuisine, and water sports galore -- 9 Beaches is a perfect getaway for beach bums. Here are 9 reasons to visit:
1. Uber-casual: Yep, Bermuda is still a sophisticated and very civilized island, but at this resort you can leave the jacket and tie at home and get comfy in your flip flops.
2. 9 Beaches — Even at High Tide: True to its name, the hotel does have nine separate beaches even at high tide. At low tide there are even more.
3. Comfy Cabanas: Chic cabanas, many perched on stilts over the tranquil waters, offer killer views of the Atlantic.
4. $9 Nights: In celebration of Bermuda’s 400th anniversary, your fifth or sixth night is only $9.

6. Delish Cuisine: Simplicity and freshness make it some of the best food on the island.
7. Free Cell Phones: No need to whistle for service. All guests receive a Bermuda cell phone (one per cabana) for free local calls and to avoid international roaming charges. Phones are pre-programmed with useful island numbers such as taxis, room service, and the manager.
