Bermuda woos The Bachelorette

MONDAY, JUNE 4: The Bermuda episode of the hit reality show The Bachelorette will air tonight on ABC.

It is the fourth episode of the season and will feature Bermuda’s beauty, airing on channel 7 at 9pm.

Bachelorette Emily Maynard and her suitors visited the island in March and filmed various scenes in St George’s, Hamilton Harbour and Crystal Caves.

The Bermuda Sun first reported Ms Maynard, 26, was in Bermuda in March and was expected to film an episode of the popular dating show on the island.

Tonight’s episode will feature three uniquely Bermudians dates.

The show’s visit to the island was organised by the Bermuda Department of Tourism.

Tourism Minister Wayne Furbert said: “The Bachelorette is one of America’s most-watched primetime programmes and each season is highly anticipated.

“The exposure that Bermuda will receive to tens of millions of North American viewers is tremendous and will highlight why this is truly one of the world’s ultimate romantic destinations.”

Viewers will join Ms Maynard and her prospective suitors as they enjoy Bermuda’s stunning natural scenery and cultural experiences. While on the island, Maynard and company stayed at Rosewood Tucker’s Point.

There she enjoyed the candlelit wine cellar at The Point, the resort’s fine dining restaurant, during a romantic one-on-one date.

She also took part in a group date at the resort’s private beach club overlooking a stretch of Bermuda’s signature pink sand beach capped off by a fireworks display.

A walk along the cobblestone streets of the Town of St. George helped Ms Maynard and her date understand where Bermuda’s distinctive culture began. While in the town they visited attractions such as the Bermuda Perfumery for a signature fragrance and St. Peter’s, Their Majesties Chappell.

After enjoying a rum cake and a Gombey troupe performance, the Bachelorette and her date walked through a moongate for luck.

Ms Maynard also saw Bermuda’s maritime activities on full display during a visit to the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club for a fun and very competitive sailing regatta among her gentlemen suitors.

In addition, she sailed aboard The Venetian, one of the island’s most luxurious yachts, and witnessed cliff jumping into the Atlantic Ocean.
