t the Bermudian masterplanned resort community of Tucker’s Point, the luxury starts with the location: It’s in the fashionable East End in Tucker’s Town, which is known as the Beverly Hills of Bermuda. “It’s a playground nestled in one of the most prestigious areas, and it’s home to some of the most elite estates in the world,” said Alessandro Colantonio, executive vice president of Gencom, the owner and developer of Tucker’s Point. The main attraction of the 200-acre community on the British island territory in the North Atlantic Ocean is the 18-hole, par70 golf course that was designed by Charles Banks. In addition to the course’s undulating fairways and large landing areas, there’s a 10,000-square-foot practice center with a driving range and putting greens, a hilltop clubhouse overlooking Castle Harbour and a pro shop. Residents, many of them golfers from the U.S., the United Kingdom and Europe, can buy a deeded fractional interest in the community’s Harbour Court residence club that guarantees them five annual weeks in their waterfront home plus an unlimited number of additional flex weeks and exchange privileges at resorts around the world.

The Harbour Club homes, which are in the traditional Bermuda architectural style, feature white stepped limestone roofs that purify rainwater and deflect UV light for cooling, high-end finishes, open-floor plans and oversize verandas. Ownership rights include access to the amenities of the fivestar Rosewood Bermuda and Sense resort, private airport transfer, a GPS-guided golf cart and concierge service. Prices for deeded fractional interests in these waterfront homes range from US$199,000 for a two-bedroom house to US$299,000 for a three-bedroom house, according to Mr. Colantonio. (The Bermuda dollar is fixed to the U.S. dollar and U.S. dollar is accepted at par.) Residents also may purchase a homesite, whose prices start at US$800,000, and build their own custom house, he said. The community is perched on the pink sands of the island’s largest private beach, which has two pools, a restaurant and bars featuring private cabanas and a separate, private owner’s area. There are four tennis courts, and the Rosewood Bermuda resort has a 24-hour fitness center; two heated pools; a spa; a water-sports center for snorkeling, kayaking, jet-skiing, stand-up paddle boarding and fly boarding; and an explorers club for children.
