BERMUDA'S FRESH FACE

Coastal Living

Winter 2025

It takes confidence to know when less is more. But on Bermuda, where the sea and sands provide a daily pageant of iridescent blues and pale pinks, the design thinking at AZURA is to showcase that splendor via cliff-hugging frames of soothing, spare whites. The impact is intoxicating, and an exciting addition to the island’s traditional resorts and cottage communities.

Begun as a complete reimagining of the former Surf Side Beach Club on the island’s South Shore, AZURA opened quietly in 2020 and used the sudden freeze of the pandemic to continue its buildout, which now counts 60 sunlit, modernist rooms and suites.

JUNGLE BIRD

Barman Jeffrey Ong Swee Teik was a visionary. In the early 1970s, he set out to invent a drink for the Aviary Bar at the newly opened Hilton Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, that honored his country’s equatorial climate, the bar’s ornithological vibe, and the decade’s disco mood that favored sweet drinks with flair. One might have expected a hyper-tropical cocktail, but that’s where Ong showed his genius. He introduced Campari—the bitter Italian aperitif most associated with a Negroni—into a shaken conversation with dark rum, pineapple and lime juices, and simple syrup. Served in a ceramic bird-shaped vessel, the aptly named Jungle Bird skirted kitsch with its grown-up notes of Campari; it wasn’t long before the drink entered, via widely published cocktail guides, the rotation of American bartenders. As the 1990s tiki revival kicked into gear, the Jungle Bird was taken up anew, with variations leaning even more into Ong’s secret weapon, Campari, and reaching for richer flavor with molasses-heavy blackstrap rum. More than a half-century on, the Jungle Bird is considered a cocktail classic, so whether you use blackstrap or dark rum, be sure to toast this Malaysian creator’s very cool bird. It rules the roost.

A Tale of Two Ships

Think you know what cruising the Caribbean is like? Think again. Now, it’s possible to explore the region’s islands on smaller, intimate ships that nestle nimbly into bays and ports that big cruise ships can’t even touch. See what it’s like to cruise St. Lucia, Antigua, Martinique, and St. Kitts in high style on a luxury motor yacht, and then ride the trade winds with sails flying from Curaçao and Aruba to Cartagena and Panama’s San Blas Islands. It’s a whole new way to ahoy
