Travel Agent - October 13, 2008 - (Page 22) DESTINATIONS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 20 March 2009, and possibly throughout the rest of the year. Future plans for its redevelopment will be on the way. Newstead Belmont Hills Resort & Spa (www.newsteadbelmonthills.com) opened for business in May. This boutique hotel is right on the harbor, offering views of the city of Hamilton and the Great Sound. Each residence features views over the gardens and the infinity pool to the ocean, across to Hamilton. The spa has the best views of all, with large windows in the exercise room and the lounge. Complimentary beverages are also served. For privacy, there is one wet room and four intimate treatment rooms. Grotto Bay Beach Resort (www.grottobay. com) recently began offering spa treatments in its 500,000-year-old caves. As the name of the resort indicates, the 21-acre oceanfront property features several caves with lakes. In April, the Resort began offering spa treatments in one of these caves. On top of that, the property also recently underwent major renovations to more than 70 percent of its guest rooms. One very important note is that the popular Bay City Guest House closed its doors as a tourist facility in mid-July. Glimpse of Bermuda’s Future The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company plans to open a 220-suite hotel at Bermuda’s former Golden Hind property. Ritz-Carlton is also expected to manage a 152-room property to be built at Bermuda’s Par-la-Ville parking lot in the city of Hamilton. Bermuda Resort Hotels has plans for major development at the Harmony Club, including an increase to the inventory by almost 30 rooms, transforming it to an all-suite hotel. Hampton Inns may put its branding on the facility, which would have a total of 95 rooms. Ariel Sands will be a combination of hotel rooms and fractionals for a total of 60 rooms. Coco Reefs will be a beachfront development with a residential component for a total of 66 rooms. Fairmont Southampton is planning a major development in Bermuda with a fractional component. Specifically, there will be 65 fractionals and 74 sole-ownership units. Bazarian International has received governmental approval to redevelop the old Club Med in Bermuda. The new property will be managed by St. Regis and will have 210 rooms. Developers recently announced that construction for a new five-star resort hotel on the site of the old Wyndham Beach Resort in Southampton Parish would begin in the second half of 2009 for an opening date in late 2011. The completed hotel is expected to have more than 150 luxury hotel rooms, a spa, several pools and restaurants and a private club, which will all cater to the needs of both international tourists and local Bermudians. The property will also offer fully serviced beach villas around the property’s three coves. The Port Royal Golf Club is being completely renovated and will reopen between January and February.
