Casual, fun-loving and perfectly situated overlooking the water is Bermuda's only ultra-casual resort: 9 Beaches. Their only requirement is "flip-flops" for dinner. No ties, jackets, suits etc.

In an island predominantly known for its upscale hotels, 9 Beaches is a bit of an anomaly, and was ranked the 5th most popular hotel out of 33 Bermuda hotels in a recent tripadvisor survey.

Many of the 84 cabanas are located right on the beach and at the water's edge, and some are perched on stilts over the ocean.

There are so many water sports to choose from (including kayaking, snorkeling, snuba, sailing and windsurfing) right on the beach itself so you don't have to go far. Plus there are a number of beaches to choose from (at least 9!).
