BEAT THE CROWDS
Spend a spring weekend at Bermuda’s only eco-resort, the newly-renovated 9 Beaches.

The Paradise cabanas are suspended over the aquamarine water on stilts with viewing panels in the floors, and best of all, the flight from Washington to Hamilton is only two hours. 9 Beaches; Sandys, Bermuda; 441-239-2999; www.9beaches.com
