Insider secret

‘The Spittal Pond Nature Reserve is a peaceful

wildlife sanctuary with a coastal path from

which you might be lucky enough to see

migrating whales if you visit in March or April.’

What’s in your carry-on luggage?

‘An iPad, snacks, magazines and a scarf. On the

plane, I like to wear a pair of Frame jeans with

a cashmere sweater or a Blazé Milano blazer.’

What do you pack?

‘My beach-holiday must-haves include my

Aerin raffia heart pouch, Berenford

sunglasses, a white Hunza G one-piece

swimsuit, a Lisa Marie Fernandez dress

and my Brent Neale pendant.’

Beauty essentials

‘I keep my look natural with a small amount

of Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultra Radiance

foundation, Bronze Goddess bronzer and

Clinique High Impac t Ma sca ra. I li ke to

change my fragrance depending on the season

and my mood, but for a beach destination,

Aerin Limone di Sicilia is my favourite.’

Three words that describe Bermuda?

‘Vibrant, adventurous and beautiful.’

Best place to stay

‘I love Rosewood Ber muda. The proper t y is

amazing and has great service, excellent food

and the most picturesque beach on the island.’

Top tip for relaxation

‘Wake up early and go for a walk around

Tucker’s Point. There are so many wonderful

flowers and plants, including Bermudian

freesia and oleanders.’

An unmissable view

‘If you look across Warwick Long Bay, you’re

able to see Bermuda’s trademark crystal-clear

waters, pink sands and towering cliffs.’

Favourite restaurant

‘ The Beach Club Restaura nt at Rosewood

Bermuda. It’s right on the water and it serves

delicious, fresh seafood and truffle fries.’

Ideas for adventure

‘Visit the Crystal Caves at Bailey’s Bay –

Bermuda has the highest concentration of

limestone caves in the world, and you can tour

the tunnels and chambers to see the otherworldly

stalactites and stalagmites.’ (www.caves.bm)

Fondest memory

‘My grandmother Estée suggested the island as

a honeymoon destination, so my very first visit

wa s w it h my husba nd, back in 1996. It’s so ea sy to

get to but it felt like we were a million miles away.’

Recommended holiday read

‘I’m reading Bunny Mellon’s new biography

currently. It’s feminine, interesting and inspiring.’
