BERMUDA, Jluy 14, 2005. The paradise Island of Bermuda has loosened up this summer with the opening of the new luxurious 9 Beaches resort which promises to bring an air of casual sophistication to this idyllic island retreat. With a casual dress code prevailing at this chic resort, guests are actively encouraged to relax, let their hair down and even dine barefoot, feeling the infamous pink Bermuda sand between their toes!

Until last year Bermuda was well known for its tradition of formal dress codes with many hotels and restaurants requiring guests to dress for dinner, men in shirts, jackets and ties and women in formal evening wear. Lately however, dress codes at Bermuda's top resorts have been loosened (without compromising their standards), enabling guests to truly relax and reinvigorate in this enchanting setting. Indeed, as the hotels embrace the needs of the modern traveller even Cambridge Beaches, one of Bermuda's most luxurious and traditional resorts, introduced less formal dress codes last year and now the new "ultra casual" 9 Beaches resort has taken this relaxed theme to the limit with casual style the key at this contemporary resort.

Designed to appeal to the adventure-seeking young at heart travellers, 9 Beaches boasts 84 chic cabanas that stand on stilts overlooking the clear blue Atlantic Ocean. Some cabanas are actually located over the water with see-through floor panels allowing guests to watch Bermuda's colourful tropical fish swim underneath. Offering the ultimate in style and sophistication, each cabana also has a series of flags whereby guests will be able to signal for room service, cocktails or anything else they may desire.

Further enhancing the resort's modern and innovative ambience, guests receive a Bermuda mobile phone for use during their stay, enabling them to keep in touch with friends and relatives abroad. In addition, for those who hate to be out of the office, 9 Beaches boasts a range of Wi-Fi hotspots (high speed wireless connections) allowing guests to catch up on their emails whilst still recharging their own batteries!

Whether you would prefer to top up your tan on one of the resorts nine stunning pink sand beaches or try your hand at some of the water sports on offer thanks to the fully equipped water activity centre, there is something for everybody at 9 Beaches. Indeed the possibilities are nearly endless: the more adventurous can learn to kite board, whilst water babies can explore Bermuda's beautiful coastline on a jet ski, learn to scuba dive or simply take in the stunning scenery on a sailing boat. Those that prefer to stay on dry land meanwhile can explore the island on a moped or even discover Bermuda's breathtaking countryside on horseback.

Wherever you decide to stay in Bermuda you are guaranteed to be enchanted by this paradise island. With a host of excellent bars and restaurants, superb nightlife and an array of activities and culture at your fingertips, one visit to Bermuda is never enough.
