Why Go To Bermuda

A visit to Bermuda means that there's a good chance you'll see men milling about the capital city of Hamilton dressed in crisp and prim business shirts, tucked neatly into seemingly casual short trousers. Their "Bermuda shorts" fit well into the mystique surrounding these lonely islands of the Atlantic – islands that hold tight to their British customs, elegance and etiquette, but still know how to let loose under the subtropical sun.

Usually, people who visit Bermuda are looking for a little luxury. Top activities include spa treatments and afternoon tee times. Need a break from the golf clubs or a change of pace after your facial? Try stretching out on the dazzling pink sand at  Elbow Beach  or  Horseshoe Bay Beach , strolling past the old-time buildings in  historic St. George  or polishing up on your naval history at the  National Museum of Bermuda . These islands don't put on a pretense of being "hip," but they do offer a charming old-school sophistication that's hard to find anywhere else.

Bermuda Travel Tips

Best months to visit.

The best time to visit Bermuda is in March or April, when the temperate weather becomes pleasant for beach bathing (though not quite warm enough yet for swimming). Hotel prices during these months aren't as high as they are in Bermuda's busy season, from May to October. If you're more interested in golf, plan your trip for the wintertime. Unlike the Caribbean, Bermuda is relatively cool in the winter, so you'll score the greatest discounts at  hotels and enjoy fewer crowds at top attractions .

What You Need to Know

There's more than one Bermuda Most people think of Bermuda as one island, but in reality, it's an archipelago of more than 100. Tourist activity is largely concentrated on the largest island, which is the "Bermuda" most are familiar with.

Bermuda is not the Caribbean  Calling Bermuda "Caribbean" has confused a lot of travelers. In reality, these islands are located 600 miles off the coast of North Carolina.

U.S. dollars are accepted  Bermuda is certainly expensive, but its dollar is on par with the U.S. dollar, which is widely accepted. Save yourself some trouble and pay for everything in American bills.

How to Save Money in Bermuda

Bundle up  Bermuda only experiences beach weather for half the year. Sites like St. George  and the Unfinished Church  are perfect to visit in the chillier (and cheaper) winter season, when temperatures hover in the mid-60s.

Opt for "AP"  Dining out in Bermuda is expensive, but some hotels offer rate plans that include some or all of your meals. An "AP," or American Plan, typically includes all three meals in the cost of your room and board.

Arrive early  Bermuda is only a two- or three-hour plane ride from many spots on the East Coast, so you might not lose an entire day in travel time. Book an early morning flight to enjoy your first (full) day on the island.

Culture & Customs

Bermuda is a blend of British, American and West Indian traditions and cultures. The island has mixed its elusive past to create its own customs. Bermuda shorts are the norm here, even during business hours, but it's best to pair them with a jacket for tea time or the dinner hour. Wearing a bathing suit – or even flip flops – anywhere besides the beach is frowned upon. 

What to Eat

Considering that its islands are surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on all sides, Bermuda has the inside edge on quality seafood. Fish chowder (with a dash of sherry), codfish cakes and spiny lobster are island favorites. But its remote location at sea also means almost all other ingredients are imported in, and at a premium – Bermuda restaurants are universally described as expensive.

Dining on the islands is sometimes more formal than on other destinations, so you should call ahead to find out the dress code. Most visitors dine in the central parishes where there are more dining options. Hamilton's Front Street and its neighboring streets are your safest bet, with a range of options, including old-school Bermudian cuisine, European menus with fresh and local ingredients, and Indian or Thai options for those who like a bit of spice.

At the seafood eateries, try local delicacies like Bermudian wahoo (a type of white fish), lobster or rockfish. Still, no visit to Bermuda is complete without trying some of its famous rum. Try a rum swizzle at the world-famous Swizzle Inn Pub & Restaurant  or a dark 'n' stormy at any bar on the island.

Crime against tourists is fairly minimal in Bermuda, but petty theft does happen. The capital, Hamilton, is where most of the crime occurs, however, law enforcement has cracked down and installed surveillance cameras throughout the city and in all major tourist areas in recent years. As with any travel, be sure to leave treasured items at home. The valuables that you do bring with you should be secured in the hotel safe. Rented mopeds are sometimes stolen; make sure to always lock your scooter before leaving it unattended.

Getting Around Bermuda

The best way to get around Bermuda is on a bus. You don't have the option of renting a car here, and maneuvering on a motorbike could be fun or deadly, depending on your perspective. Taxis pretty much have a monopoly on getting you from Bermuda L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA) to your hotel, but this budget-killing option for sightseeing is not your best bet. Fortunately, the buses are reliable and affordable, and they stop at many of the top attractions . Still, if the bus isn't quite your style, electric two-seater vehicles called Twizys are another option; they are easier (and safer) to master than scooters.

Additionally, many people arrive in Bermuda on a cruise ship . Most dock in Hamilton, though there are a few that anchor around St. George's or the Royal Navy Dockyard . Taxi drivers are waiting at all the docks to show you around, or you could rent a motorbike or Twizy to move around on your own.

Entry & Exit Requirements

You'll need a valid passport to travel to Bermuda and you'll have to present proof of return flights or continuing travels. There is also a departure tax air travelers and cruise ship passengers must pay (it's likely already bundled into the cost of your fare). Occasionally, officials will also ask to see proof of sufficient funds to cover your visiting expenses. Visiting yachts need customs, immigration and health clearance at St. George's port to visit Bermuda, and yachters should expect a passenger tax. Visit the State Department's website for the latest information on foreign entry and exit requirements.

Even in the colder months, Horseshoe is a great spot to admire the turquoise water.

Bermuda Travel Guide

Last Updated: February 14, 2024

Bermuda is the oldest British colony in the world, and its turquoise waters, pink beaches, and pastel-colored mansions make it one of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean (it’s technically in the North Atlantic but everyone always assumes it’s a Caribbean island).

Thanks to questionable tax and banking laws, Bermuda is home to lots of rich people. Consequently, it’s not one of the cheapest destinations to visit. I’ve tried to visit on a budget but it certainly wasn’t easy. Don’t expect a dirt-cheap trip.

However, while it may be pricey, the island is paradise!

There’s the pink sand of Horseshoe Bay, the calm of Astwood Cove and Black Bay, and coral reefs filled with sea life and more than 300 shipwrecks (which make for some epic diving trips). I loved my time backpacking in Bermuda.

This Bermuda travel guide can help you plan your trip, save some money, and make the most of your time on this island utopia.

Top 5 Things to See and Do in Bermuda

1. Visit the Crystal and Fantasy Caves

Discovered in the early 1900’s by Carl Gibbon and Edgar Hollis while looking for a lost cricket ball, these caves in the eastern part of the island are home to deep azure blue pools surrounded by crystallized formations and ceilings with chandelier-like clusters. Other than the beaches, they are two of my favorite attractions on the entire island. A combo ticket for both caves costs 35 BMD and a tour of both caves takes around an hour and fifteen minutes. The caves are only open in summer.

2. Climb the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse

This is the oldest cast-iron lighthouse in the world (it was built in 1846), and you can climb the 185 steps to the observation deck to enjoy spectacular views of the island and the surrounding waters from a height of 110 meters (362 feet) above sea level. There’s also a tea room offering drinks and snacks. The entrance fee is 2.50 BMD.

3. Explore the Royal Naval Dockyard

This entertainment area encompasses the National Museum of Bermuda and the Bermuda Transport Museum. It also includes mini-golf, a tiny but cozy theater, ritzy restaurants, lively bars, and great people-watching opportunities. You can also take the ferry over to Hamilton from here. Since this is where the cruise ships dock, it’s also the busiest part of the island (and the most expensive).

4. Relax on the beaches

Bermuda’s beaches are pristine, scenic, and perfect for swimming. My favorites are Church Bay, Elbow Beach, and Chaplin Bay. There’s also the famous Horseshoe Bay Beach, which is definitely worth a visit for its unique rose-colored sand — but stay away from the main entrance as it gets super crowded with cruise ship folks. Head to the beaches on the eastern side where there’s an enormous offshore reef for great snorkeling and diving.

5. Play golf

Other things to see and do in bermuda, 1. walk the bermuda railway.

This is a public walking and cycling trail that stretches from St. George Town in the east end of Bermuda, through Pembroke Parish near Hamilton and on toward Somerset Village in the west. It’s a long but very easy walk that hugs the island’s coastline for 18 miles (29 kilometers). If that’s too much, the trail is split into 9 sections so you can just walk a short stretch. Some things to keep an eye out for include secluded beaches, and even an old drawbridge. There’s not a lot of shade on this route so be sure to bring lots of water, a hat, and sunscreen. Don’t get sunburnt like me!

2. See the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity

The Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity is an Anglican church in the center of Hamilton. It was built in 1894 and officially consecrated in 1911. Its standout features include ornamental decoration, carvings, and stained-glass windows. You can climb the 157 stairs to the tower for views over Hamilton and the harbor as well. Admission to the cathedral is free, but if you want to climb the tower it’s 3 BMD.

3. Explore Fort St. Catherine

Located at the northeastern end of St. George’s Island, this 17th-century UNESCO Heritage Site fort towers over the cliffs between St. Catherine’s Beach and Achilles Bay. Inside are exhibits showing life on the island in the 1600s, as well as tunnels, towers, and ramparts you can explore. Tours run daily but you should call ahead to book one. Only open in the summer, admission is 7 BMD.

4. Visit Spittal Pond Nature Reserve

Spanning 64 acres, this is Bermuda’s largest nature reserve. Between November to May, it’s home to at least 25 species of waterfowl (including egrets and herons) spread out over salt marsh and woodland. Check out the Checkerboard, a cracked limestone formation where whalers used to haul out their catch, and Portuguese Rock, where you can see an inscription thought to be the oldest evidence of humans on the island (it has now been replaced with a bronze casting). You can take a guided tour or just wander the easy walking trails on your own. Admission is free.

5. Go diving

Bermuda has strict protective laws for its coral reefs, so they remain in excellent condition. You’re likely to see blue angelfish, parrotfish, and even the snaggle-toothed barracuda (they’re not dangerous, don’t worry). Bermuda is also the shipwreck capital of the world, and you can dive wrecks like The Hermes , a 165-foot World War II ship that remains incredibly intact. Other highlights include a B52 bomber, a Chinese migrant ship, and remnants of Spanish galleons. Expect to pay 175 BMD for a two-tank dive or 650 BMD for your open-water PADI certification.

6. Tour the Tucker House

This historic 18th-century home was the family residence of Henry Tucker, a wealthy merchant who later became the first government leader of Bermuda. The house contains a vast collection of household items including silverware, porcelain, antique furniture, and family portraits painted by Joseph Blackburn. It’s also part of the African Diaspora Heritage Trail, and you can learn about Joseph Rainey, a former slave who later became the first African American member of the U.S. House of Representatives. It’s not open every day so check the website for opening days and times. Admission is 5 BMD.

7. Learn about the Bermuda Triangle

The infamous Bermuda Triangle (also known as the Devil’s Triangle) is a region near the island that is said to have caused the mysterious disappearance of ships, planes, and people. If you want to dig into the mystery, check out the Bermuda Triangle exhibit at the Ocean Discovery Centre (at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute). There are also exhibits dedicated to artifacts like coral-crusted coins pulled from shipwrecks, one of the world’s largest privately owned shell collections (with over 1,200 specimens), and an area for simulated dives (including shark cage dives). Admission is 15 BMD.

8. Hike to Fort Scaur

Built in the 19th century, Fort Scaur is another one of Bermuda’s formidable fortresses, but it often goes unnoticed in favor of Fort St. Catherine. Located around 15 minutes south of the dockyard, it’s not an overly steep climb. At the top, you can wander around the ramparts and take in the panoramic ocean views over the Great Sound. Admission is free.

Bermuda Travel Costs

Accommodation – Since Bermuda is not a budget destination, there are currently no hostels here. Camping is only permitted for residents.

Budget hotels start around 200 BMD for a basic double room outside of Hamilton’s city center and a bed and breakfast for two in Hamilton costs around the same price.

Airbnb is also an option, with prices starting around 75-100 BMD for a private room (though they average triple that price so book early). Entire apartments/homes start at 110 BMD though expect to pay double or triple that price if you don’t book early.

Food – The cuisine in Bermuda is a mix of seafood with more traditional British fare (it’s a British territory after all). Cod, wahoo, and rockfish are some of the most common fish caught here, often eaten with potatoes or hard-boiled eggs. Local favorites include fish chowder (the national dish), peas and rice, and papaya casserole. Fresh fruit is readily available, including strawberries, watermelon, cassava, and papaya.

Because Bermuda has to import a lot of its ingredients, eating out here is expensive. You can find affordable burgers or pizza for around 10 BMD from the food trucks near the beaches, but there are no major fast-food chains other than KFC. A two-piece chicken combo for one person from KFC costs around 15 BMD.

Grabbing take-out or ordering meals like jerk chicken, wraps, and sandwiches from a deli costs between 10-12 BMD. At the Jamaican Grill, you can get a plate of tasty jerk chicken for just 6 BMD.

If you want to splash out, a three-course meal at a mid-range restaurant costs around 75 BMD.

Beer is expensive at 9 BMD while a latte/cappuccino costs 5.50 BMD. Bottled water is around 2.40 BMD.

If you want to cook your meals, expect to spend around 75-110 BMD per week on groceries. This gets you basic staples like rice, pasta, fruits, and some meat or fish.

Backpacking Bermuda Suggested Budgets

If you’re backpacking Bermuda, my suggested budget is around 140 BMD per day. This assumes you’re staying in a private Airbnb room, cooking all your meals, limiting your drinking, taking the bus to get around, and doing mostly free activities like hiking and hanging out on the beach. If you plan on drinking, add 10-30 BMD to your daily budget.

On a mid-range budget of about 250 BMD per day, you can stay in a budget hotel, eat out for a few meals at fast food joints, enjoy a couple drinks, rent a scooter or take the occasional taxi to get around, and do more paid activities like visiting the forts and going diving.

For a “luxury” budget of about 450 BMD or more per day, you can stay in a three-star hotel, eat out for all your meals, drink more, rent a cart or scooter to get around, and do whatever tours and activities you want. This is just the ground floor for luxury though. The sky is the limit!

You can use the chart below to get some idea of how much you need to budget daily, depending on your travel style. Keep in mind these are daily averages — some days you’ll spend more, some days you’ll spend less (you might spend less every day). We just want to give you a general idea of how to make your budget. Prices are in BMD.

Bermuda Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again: it isn’t cheap to visit Bermuda. Don’t plan to come here if you’re on a super limited budget. It’s not easy to save money here. It requires a lot of work. Here are some things you can do to stretch your money when you visit:

• Book early – If you want cheap accommodation, you need to book rooms at least a couple of months in advance. Avoid hotels and resorts and instead, stay at a bed and breakfast or home rental properties. If you are staying with a group, definitely rent a large apartment as it is far less per person than a hotel room.
• Stay with a local – There are only a handful of Couchsurfing hosts in Bermuda so if you want to succeed in finding one make sure you inquire really early in order to maximize your chances of success.
• Travel off-season – Bermuda’s off-season (winter) is from November to March, and if you come during this time you might find accommodation prices up to 25% off.
• Cut down on the partying – Drinks aren’t cheap in Bermuda, so skip the booze as much as possible here. Your budget will thank you!
• Stay central – While Hamilton is not set on one of the famous pink beaches, it’s the center for all the buses and ferries. If you rent an apartment and aren’t careful, you can end up somewhere far from a bus stop (which means more taxis). Staying in or near Hamilton ensures you’re near all the bus lines so you can avoid spending too much money on transportation.
• Cook your own meals – If you skipped the hotel and rented an apartment, chances are you’ll have a kitchen. There’s an ever-growing local and organic foodie scene on the island so you can find a lot of cheap fruits, vegetables, and meats at markets and shops that help lower your costs dramatically.
• Bring a water bottle – The water here is safe to drink so bring a reusable water bottle to save money and reduce your plastic use. LifeStraw is my go-to brand as their bottles have built-in filters to ensure your water is always clean and safe.

Where to Stay in Bermuda

You won’t find hostels in Bermuda, but there are some affordable hotels and apartment options. Here are three suggested places to stay in Bermuda:

• Paul’s Oceanview
• Edgeville Manor Guesthouse

How to Get Around Bermuda

Bus – Buses run frequently and service most of the island’s attractions. They’re easy to spot too: they’re pink with blue stripes. It costs 3.50 BMD for a one-way fare, and exact change is needed if you’re paying in cash. You can also travel using tickets (sold in books of 15), tokens, and day passes (see below). Bermuda’s Department of Transportation website has all the info you need for bus schedules and routes.

Ferry – Ferries are the next most popular way to get around Bermuda, and the fares are the same as for buses. In fact, you can use your bus tokens, tickets, and passes on the ferries. All ferries leave from the Ferry Terminal in Hamilton, with stops near most of the island’s main attractions. You can check schedules on the SeaExpress website.

You can get transportation passes for up to seven days of unlimited travel on Bermuda’s buses and ferries. These passes cost between 19-62 BMD. Passes, tokens, and tickets can be purchased at the Central Terminal, Hamilton Ferry Terminal, Visitor Information Centres, sub-post offices, and the Central Terminal.

Scooters and Electric Carts – There are scooter rental shops all over Bermuda, and one-seaters start from about 60 BMD per day. If you book multiple days, you should get a discount. Elbow Beach Cycles and Oleander Cycles are two popular rental companies.

Current Vehicles also rent out two-seater electric Twizy cars all over the island that let you travel up to 50 miles (80 kilometers) on one charge. Rentals cost 120 BMD per day.

Bicycle – Bicycle rentals typically start at 40 BMD per day. You can find rental shops all over the island. Oleander Cycles and Elbow Beach Cycles both have rentals as well.

Taxi – Taxis aren’t cheap here. They’re all metered at government-set rates, with a starting fare of 6 BMD and then 2.50 BMD for each kilometer after that. Skip them if you can!

Car rental – Tourists cannot rent cars in Bermuda; only locals can drive here (and they can only have one car per household to prevent overcrowding).

When to Go to Bermuda

Peak season in Bermuda is from May to October when visitors flock to the island and the prices are at their highest. If your main interest in Bermuda is for water sports, however, the hot weather is definitely ideal for enjoying the ocean. Temperatures can get as high as 30°C (86°F) during these months.

The winter months from November to the beginning of March are surprisingly cool compared to the rest of the Caribbean, with temperatures hovering around 20°C (68°F) daily.

Personally, I prefer March-April for visiting, as temperatures are somewhere in between winter and summer highs, there are fewer crowds at all the attractions, and accommodation is cheaper.

How to Stay Safe in Bermuda

Bermuda is a really safe place to visit. It’s a destination for the affluent and as such laws are strict and police presence is ubiquitous (seriously, you could actually get kicked out of the country just for camping illegally). The chance of something happening is slim to none.

However, petty theft is an issue at th beach so keep your valuables safe at all times. Don’t leave anything unattended and always keep your valuables secure.

Scams are rare but you can read about common travel scams to avoid here.

From August through October, hurricanes are possible and, with them, all the things they bring so always keep an eye on the weather.

If you experience an emergency, dial 911.

The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance protects you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past.

Bermuda Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources

These are my favorite companies to use when I travel. They consistently have the best deals, offer world-class customer service and great value, and overall, are better than their competitors. They are the companies I use the most and are always the starting point in my search for travel deals.

• Skyscanner – Skyscanner is my favorite flight search engine. They search small websites and budget airlines that larger search sites tend to miss. They are hands down the number one place to start.
• Hostelworld – This is the best hostel accommodation site out there with the largest inventory, best search interface, and widest availability.
• Booking.com – The best all around booking site that constantly provides the cheapest and lowest rates. They have the widest selection of budget accommodation. In all my tests, they’ve always had the cheapest rates out of all the booking websites.
• Get Your Guide – Get Your Guide is a huge online marketplace for tours and excursions. They have tons of tour options available in cities all around the world, including everything from cooking classes, walking tours, street art lessons, and more!
• SafetyWing – Safety Wing offers convenient and affordable plans tailored to digital nomads and long-term travelers. They have cheap monthly plans, great customer service, and an easy-to-use claims process that makes it perfect for those on the road.
• LifeStraw – My go-to company for reusable water bottles with built-in filters so you can ensure your drinking water is always clean and safe.
• Unbound Merino – They make lightweight, durable, easy-to-clean travel clothing.
• Top Travel Credit Cards – Points are the best way to cut down travel expenses. Here’s my favorite point earning credit cards so you can get free travel!

8 of the best places to visit in Bermuda

Mar 23, 2023 • 7 min read

From beaches to birdwatching, here are the best places to visit on the tiny island of Bermuda © Darryl Brooks / Shutterstock

The subtropical island of Bermuda is famed for its powdery beaches , lapped by the shallow, turquoise waves of the Atlantic Ocean.

It's an almost Caribbean experience without actually being in the Caribbean. And there's much more to do than just relax on the beach in this British Overseas Territory. Any local taxi driver will proudly take you from one tip of this fishhook-shaped island to the other, dropping in on the historic naval yard, the sprawling botanical gardens and the pastel-colored townships that dot the island – and making some obligatory stops on those world-class beaches.

Whether your tastes run to history, culture, water sports or golf, here are the best places to visit on a trip to Bermuda.

1. Bermuda's South Shore 

Best place to go for beaches

Bermuda is only 21 miles long and measures just one mile at its widest point, so the ocean is never far away. If you're here for the sand, the South Shore serves up a scenic strip of rosy-hued, powdery beaches. Head to Horseshoe Bay for white sand and calm blue waters, Warwick Long Bay for intimate coves and the pinkest sand you’ll ever see, Church Bay for snorkeling, and Elbow Beach for an unforgettable sunset.

Planning tip:  The northern end of Horseshoe Bay can get very crowded with cruise-ship passengers and their sun loungers, so if you're looking for a bit more solitude, head to the south end to find a quiet spot. 

2. Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve

Best for birdwatchers

Venture to the southeastern tip of the island, and you’ll discover the spot where island residents escape at weekends for barbecues and picnics. Formerly a restricted area occupied by the US military, and later a NASA space tracking station until 1995, the 12-acre Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve is filled with forested walking trails and shallow bays.

Today, visitors can enjoy the peaceful beaches at Clearwater and Turtle Bay . Be sure to bring food and drinks for a subtropical picnic. Include time for a casual walk in the reserve, and end the day spotting turtles and seabirds at Cooper’s Island Beach. One bird you’re sure to see soaring above the azure waters is the longtail (aka the white-tailed tropicbird) with distinctive black markings on its white feathers and long, sinuous tail feathers. Bermudians consider this bird a harbinger of spring. 

Planning tip: For more encounters with Bermudian wildlife, contact the Bermuda Zoological Society to arrange a trip to Nonsuch Island , set aside as a reserve for Bermuda's national bird, the cahow.

3. Hamilton 

Best for experiencing local culture

It might be hard to believe, but the pastel yellow and pink houses that line Front Street are actually busy workplaces. Hamilton is the island’s capital, where the majority of residents work, and downtown is a bustling cluster of retailers, restaurants and bars.

If you love shopping, visit Atelerie for clothing and  The Island Shop for hand-painted designer goods such as plates, glasses, pillowcases and table runners. The English Sports Shop showcases more traditional island attire, and you may even be able to pick up a pair of Bermuda shorts (a wardrobe staple for male office workers on the island). 

Planning tip: Foodies should stop at Huckleberry in the Rosedon Hotel for brunch and reserve a table at Barracuda Grill for a fine dining seafood meal in the evening. If you’re a fan of English pubs, Astwood Arms offers a similar vibe, while Yours Truly is more like a speakeasy with craft cocktails.

4. Bermuda Botanical Gardens

Best for nature enthusiasts 

On the ocean-circled island of Bermuda, it’s rather magical to visit a different kind of sea — a sea of green. The Bermuda Botanical Gardens consist of 35 acres of lush vegetation, including Bermuda cedars, subtropical fruit and Banyan trees, cacti, and an aromatic garden. 

Stroll through the gardens at leisure or join a free walking tour on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 10:30 am (call ahead to confirm). You’ll also find the Masterworks Art Museum here. Housed in a former arrowroot-processing factory, the museum showcases photographs, paintings and sketches from local artists. Be sure to stop by Homer’s Cafe, which is open for breakfast and lunch. The botanical garden is also the setting for Camden House , a Georgian mansion from the 1700s. It's the official residence of the Premier of Bermuda and a fine example of traditional Bermudian architecture.

5. St George’s

Best for history buffs 

The parish of St George's occupies Bermuda’s East End, stretching from the airport that once served the US Air Force and Royal Air Force to the town of St George's, a Unesco World Heritage Site that brims with history. At the center of St George's, you'll find a plethora of local boutiques and St Peter’s Church , the oldest continuously used Protestant church in the New World.

No trip to the East End would be complete without a stop at Fort St Catherine . While dozens of historic forts dot the island, this 17th-century artillery fortress overlooks the reef where the original founders of Bermuda were shipwrecked in 1609.

This side of the island also houses Tobacco Bay , the hub for a truly local beach bar scene, and the Crystal Caves , a striking underground formation created during the last Ice Age. Also here is Tom Moore’s Jungle – a nature reserve where you can swim through protected limestone caverns.  

Planning tip: For refreshments in St Goerge's, enjoy a fish sandwich and a Dark ‘n Stormy at White Horse Pub on the waterfront, or venture a little further out to Swizzle Inn – Bermuda’s oldest watering hole, and a great place to try the rum-based cocktail that gave the pub its name.

6. Royal Navy Dockyard 

Best for fans of maritime history

On the island’s west side, the old Royal Naval Dockyard was in use from the 1700s to the end of the Cold War in 1995. This historic monument is a powerful symbol of the island’s past as an outpost of empire. Today, the Dockyard is a tourist draw, with locally-inspired boutiques and retailers, including The Bermuda Rum Cake Company , specializing in rum-soaked treats. 

Stop by The National Museum of Bermuda , home to more than 75,000 artifacts exploring the island’s maritime history. Be sure to check out the museum’s collection of objects excavated from shipwrecks spanning five centuries. For something more active, visit Snorkel Park Beach for an afternoon of water sports, food and cocktails. Take the ferry for added maritime value; seeing Bermuda from the water is a memorable experience.

Planning tip: For good old English pub grub, head to the Frog & Onion Pub located in the 18th-century cooperage in the Dockyard. Right next door is the island's only microbrewery, the Dockyard Brewing Company .

7. Tucker’s Town

Best for golfers

On an island renowned for its world-class golf courses, Tucker’s Town stands above the rest. This area has gone rapidly upmarket since the opening of the Rosewood Hotel in 2009, and the Mid Ocean Club and Tucker’s Point Golf Course cater to the premium golfer. These top-flight courses have hosted various PGA Tour events, including the PGA Grand Slam.

Planning tip:  You don’t need to be a professional to play at either 18-hole course, but you will need to pay a pretty penny to tee off here. When you finish your round, both clubs have private beaches where you can beat the heat in style.

8. Gibbs Hill Lighthouse 

Best view of the island

Located in Southampton Parish along the South Shore beach strip, Gibbs Hill is one of the few “hills” in Bermuda, though it's really a hummock. Climb 185 winding steps to the top of the old lighthouse – built in 1846 – for one of the best views of this verdant island. Note the white limestone roofs of local houses, designed to help catch rainwater, which the island relies on as a primary water source. 

Planning tip: To recharge after climbing the lighthouse, head back down to the base for a stylish Indian lunch or dinner at Tamarind .

Your Trip to Bermuda: The Complete Guide

Tim M Lanthier / Getty

Thanks to its pink sand beaches and aquamarine water, Bermuda is always a reliably popular tourist destination. But deciding what to do while visiting Bermuda is often not the easiest task—though the island is only 21 square miles long, there's no shortage of things to do on your vacation. Thankfully, we've outlined the top attractions and—crucially—how to get there and where to stay in our guide to Bermuda. From sophisticated dining (and delectable cuisine) to rum-tasting and seafaring (occasionally at the same time), we've got you covered. Read on and get ready to start planning your next trip to this island paradise in the North Atlantic.

Planning Your Trip

• Best Time to Visit : The best time to visit Bermuda is during the spring when the weather is warm, and the cost of travel remains relatively low, before the onslaught of tourists in the summertime.
• Language: English
• Currency : Bermudian dollar (pegged to the U.S. dollar at a 1:1 rate), though the U.S. dollar is widely accepted across the island.
• Getting Around: There is no ride-sharing service in use on the island of Bermuda, aside from Hitch, Bermuda's first electronic taxi app. Please note, however, that many taxis do not have the GPS installed to participate in the service. Taxis are plentiful on the island, however, and there are buses and ferries available via the public transport system.
• Travel Tip : Tourists aren't allowed to rent a car in Bermuda (to avoid accidents and overcrowding), but scooters are available to visitors, and there's no better way to appreciate the island views and cruise along the winding roads than by driving a moped. Be careful to remember to drive on the left side of the road!

Things To Do

Bermuda is famous for its aquamarine water and pink sand beaches, and travelers would be remiss not to make the most of their trip by exploring the island's gorgeous coastline and setting sail upon its crystal-clear waters. Activities available for aquatically-inclined travelers include rum cruises (but more on that later), glass-bottom boat tours, and sunset sailing on a catamaran. Prefer to stay on land? You can't beat the views and the ambiance at the beautiful Jobson's Cove Beach (overlooking Warwick Long Bay). Just remember sunblock.

• In the parish of Southampton, Horseshoe Bay is world-renowned for its visual beauty and a must-visit destination for visitors to the island. The famous bay resembles a horseshoe from above (hence its name), and the beach, surrounded by dramatic cliffs, is one of the most famous and well-known on the entire island.
• Find out why the Crystal and Fantasy Caves are reliably one of Bermuda's top attractions with a day trip to this underground fantasia. Expect azure pools of water and dazzling subterranean rock formations.

What to Eat and Drink

When in the Caribbean, you'd be remiss not to enjoy a rum cocktail (or three). Though Bermuda's weather is, quite famously, not so dark and stormy, one of the island's preferred beverages certainly is. Dark & Stormy cocktails are a signature in Bermuda, and the only proper way to enjoy the refreshing libation is with some home-grown Goslings Rum from the parish of St. George's. Enjoy rum cocktails, glorious ambiance, and delectable food at Sea Breeze Terrace and 1609 Restaurant at the world-famous Hamilton Princess. Prefer your rum in shot form? Head to The Pickled Onion in Hamilton for a night of drinking, dancing, and revelry.

But the best way to enjoy Goslings? Why, a sunset rum cruise, of course. Opt for a 90-minute rum cruise to enjoy the "Spirit" of Bermuda with Goslings rum. (Tours depart before sundown from Hamilton—and, trust us, the cocktail is best enjoyed while watching the sun turn the sky into a blazing fire of pinks and oranges as it sinks beneath the sea). Another must-order favorite in Bermuda is Bermuda Fish Chowder, of course. And there's no better place to order it than seaside at the Pink Beach Club, in Tucker's Town, in the parish of St. George.

Another popular culinary destination is Mickey's Bistro , a restaurant at Elbow Beach Resort & Spa situated directly on Elbow Beach. The views are breathtaking, and the ambiance is sophisticated—Though the setting may be literally on the beach, the attire is smart casual. (So you can't just roll up in your bathing suit.) Pack a cover-up and nice sandals to enjoy a chic seaside dinner after a day of snorkeling and sunbathing on the pink sands of the shoreline.

Where to Stay

Live like a princess at the H amilton Princess & Beach Club , an iconic institution in Hamilton operated by Fairmont Hotels. If you're interested in another pink-themed accommodation—always popular in Bermuda—the Loren Hotel is also a popular option and is home to the Pink Beach Club, purveyor of the previously-discussed Bermuda chowder.

Additionally, the Coral Beach & Tennis Club is nothing short of excellent but, unfortunately, is members-only. That is unless you are staying at the nearby Newstead Belmont Hills Resort in Paget—in which case, a shuttle will drop you off at the private beach. It's well worth the trek. On an island of gorgeous beaches, this is certainly one of the prettiest.

Getting There

Though many people believe that Bermuda is in the Caribbean , the island is actually located in the North Atlantic Ocean—making for easy direct flights from the U.S. The Bermuda L.F. Wade International Airport , located 9 miles east of Hamilton, is the sole airport in Bermuda, with one passenger terminal servicing seven airlines: Air Canada, American, British Airways, Delta, JetBlue, United, and WestJet.

Bermuda Culture and History

Bermuda's history dates back to the 16th century when Spanish explorer Juan de Bermúdez discovered it. There was no indigenous population on the island at the time of its discovery, nor 100 years later when the British settled it. The island became a British Crown Colony in 1684, largely relying on the work of enslaved persons of African and Indian heritage. Today, over half the island's population is Black.

The island's unique positioning in the North Atlantic Ocean has become something of lore—the western part of the North Atlantic is known, famously, as the Bermuda Triangle, due to the number of plane crashes and shipwrecks in these waters. In fact, Bermuda was once known as the "Isle of Devils," and more than 300 ships have sunk in the island's surrounding waters, dating from the 1600s to the present day. Aside from sailing, cricket is another very important activity on the island. So important, in fact, that the first day of Cup Match (a famous cricket tournament), Aug. 1, coincides with Emancipation Day to celebrate the 1834 abolition of slavery. (A second public holiday, Mary Prince Day, is named after a Bermudian abolitionist hero.)

Money-Saving Tips

• Check to see if the service fee is included in your hotel or restaurant bill; otherwise, a 10 percent tip is customary,
• Though the Bermudian and U.S. dollar is usually used interchangeably throughout the island, you will want to have Bermudian dollars on-hand during your trip if you're in an area that doesn't accept U.S. dollars. We recommend switching currency before you arrive in Bermuda because, although the airport does facilitate currency exchange, the rates may be higher than they would be in the U.S.
• You do not need to be a guest of the Elbow Beach Resort & Spa to access the world-famous pink sand beach—there is a small portion of the beach that is open to the public, accessible via a separate entrance from the hotel.
• Consult the front desk at your hotel about the existence of free shuttle services to use during your stay to save on cab fare.
• Consider booking an all-inclusive resort, or a food-and-beverage package at your hotel, to minimize expenses when traveling with a large group or family.
• To save money on your vacation, consider visiting during the off-season when prices dramatically decrease—spring is a perfect time to visit, as the average temperature is relatively high and the cost of travel relatively low.

The Best Things to Do in Bermuda

From history buffs to nature lovers and everyone in between, there's something for all types of travelers in Bermuda.

Whether your ideal island getaway includes lounging on breathtaking beaches, snorkeling among vibrant reefs rich with marine life, indulging in luxurious spa treatments, or feasting on world-class cuisine (or maybe a bit of everything), Bermuda has it all.

And thanks to its sub-tropical climate, Bermuda weather is generally mild year-round, so there’s never a bad time to visit. An abundance of blue skies and bright sunshine is typical, while gentle trade winds temper the summer heat and create some of the world’s best sailing conditions.

If you’re traveling with your family, your friends, or your special someone, a Bermuda vacation offers no shortage of unforgettable things to see and do. Here are some of our favorites.

Grab a Twizy and Hit the South Shore

Bermuda is well known for its moped culture, but there’s one other fun new way for visitors to explore the island: By renting a Twizy . Standing for “twin” and “easy,” the two-seater electric Twizy is designed by Renault’s Formula One racing team and can travel up to 50 miles on a single charge. But don’t worry if you plan to cruise all day — you can power up at your hotel or various “Oasis Points” around the island.

Take an Underground Cave Excursion

Bermuda’s spectacular scenery doesn’t stop at the beaches. Go on an underground guided tour to discover the otherworldly beauty of Crystal Caves, located in Hamilton Parish. Formed during the Ice Age and discovered in the early 1900s, this fascinating subterranean world features dramatic limestone formations (hanging stalactites and protruding stalagmites) surrounding a deep, crystal-clear lake. Fun fact: According to the Bermuda Tourism Authority, celebrated author Mark Twain was the first tourist to descend into the Crystal Caves in 1908. The caves also inspired Jim Henson’s beloved 1980s series, Fraggle Rock .

Reel in a Fish Sandwich from Art Mel’s

From local dives to fine dining restaurants, the fish sandwich is a menu staple at Bermuda’s eateries, but none has a cult following quite like the legendary fish sandwich from Art Mel’s Spicy Dicy in Hamilton. Stop by this tiny takeaway joint for an exceptionally tasty — and oversized — version of the local favorite: Well-seasoned, delicately fried fish piled high with tangy coleslaw on fluffy raisin bread. Celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson has raved that it’s “the biggest and best-fried fish sandwich I have ever had.” (Insider tip: Drizzle on the local hot sauce and wash it down with a ginger beer.)

Trek Along the Bermuda Railway Trail

Spanning from one end of the island to the other, the Railway Trail follows eighteen miles of abandoned railbed that winds through picturesque landscapes and along rocky coastlines. Explore the trail by foot or rent bikes at the Royal Naval Dockyard and head south on a leisurely ride full of breathtaking views and natural wonders. As you make your way through the South Shore, stop to discover the postcard-worthy beaches, secluded coves, and lush nature reserves along the way.

Enjoy Afternoon Tea at Lili Bermuda

This famed perfumery offers intoxicating fragrances evoking the island's natural beauty — all handcrafted on-site. At the historic St. George’s location, guests can experience Bermuda’s British heritage with a traditional afternoon tea service, offered every Wednesday and Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Relax in a flower-filled garden as you indulge in a selection of fine teas served with finger sandwiches, fresh pastries, and petit fours made by the local bakery, Sweet P.

Shop Along Hamilton’s Front Street

Whether you’re searching for unique souvenirs, local art, home décor, or stylish fashions, you’re bound to find fantastic shopping in Hamilton. Bermuda’s capital city is the main hub for charming boutiques and studios from the island’s creative artisans. Wander down Front Street, Hamilton’s bustling waterfront promenade, to find something for every type of shopper. Two of the most popular picks include pink sand necklaces from Alexandra Mosher Studio Jewellery and colorful TABS (The Authentic Bermuda Shorts) from A.S. Cooper & Sons: Man on Front Street. Added bonus: There’s no sales tax when you shop in Bermuda.

Zip Around the Island on a Jet Ski

Jet skiing is one of the greatest ways to experience high-speed thrills on the water and see remote parts of a destination, but it’s especially exhilarating in Bermuda because visitors can explore the Great Sound — a serene body of water bordered by land on three sides and open to the Atlantic Ocean. Guests glide through Hamilton Harbour and past impressive yachts and sailboats on the Straits of Paradise. As you zoom over the crystal clear waters, you’ll get a glimpse of the extravagant homes dotting the shores on Millionaires Row and can travel along the America’s Cup racecourse route.

Go Wild at Awesome Animal Attractions

One of the island’s top family-friendly attractions is the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo (BAMZ). Located in Flatts Village, it's a place where you can get up close and personal with playful seals, fascinating sharks, and many other creatures housed in naturalistic habitats. 

Belly Up to the Bar at Yours Truly

From the Rum Swizzle to the Dark and Stormy, cocktails are an essential part of the island’s rich culinary culture. When it’s time to unwind, venture to Yours Truly , a speakeasy hot spot in Hamilton that offers an experience unlike any other in Bermuda. Expect handcrafted libations using local ingredients and house-made syrups, bitters, and infused liquors. The dedicated mixologists concoct new cocktail recipes weekly and even hand-carve the ice.

Check Out Art at the “Pink Palace”

Imagine an art museum inside a hotel. That’s what you’ll find at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club. Known as the “Pink Palace” because of its rosy facade, the iconic resort underwent extensive renovations and now has an impressive collection of Pop and Modern Art. Magnificent work from Andy Warhol, Banksy, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, and other well-known names is displayed throughout the hotel for guests to enjoy. Guided tours are offered every Saturday at 10 a.m. through the hotel. 

Unwind at a Spa in a Cave

As previously noted, Bermuda is home to some magically beautiful caves. But did you know that you can get pampered in one? The rustic Natura Spa at Grotto Bay Beach Resort offers signature spa treatments inside the property’s natural Serenity Cave, which was discovered in 1609. Imagine getting a relaxing massage while gazing down into the cave’s mesmerizing sapphire mineral waters (ahhh…). This truly one-of-a-kind experience invites you to connect with nature while recharging your spirit.

Discover Hidden Gems on a Local Tour

Delve into Bermuda’s only jungle with an all-inclusive eco-tour from Hidden Gems . This sensational adventure includes a jungle hike, subterranean cave explorations, and cliff-jumping into sparkling turquoise waters. You’ll also be treated to sweeping views at St. David’s Battery, one of the island’s highest points, before snorkeling and unwinding on the pink sands of secluded Cooper’s Island beach. Even better, the tour includes all necessary gear, plus lunch, snacks, and bottled water — making this excursion a no-brainer.

Take a Dip in Blue Hole Park

Yes, Bermuda is beloved for its beaches, but don’t overlook its other swimmable options, including the absolutely stunning Blue Hole Park . The 12-acre park comes with plenty of lush vegetation, all leading to a network of underground tunnels and pools, including the Blue Hole, which you are free to swim in. There’s free parking here, as well as easy-to-follow trails that will lead you right to the destination. 

Bermuda Botanical Gardens

Take in the glorious sights and smells at the Bermuda Botanical Gardens , a 36-acre park that’s home to Bermuda’s most beautiful endemic plant species as well as plants gathered from all over the globe. There’s also plenty for the little ones to enjoy too, including a hedge maze and butterfly gardens. 

Get a Scoop at Bailey's Bay Ice Cream Parlour

Temperatures tend to hover on the warm side here, making a scoop or two of ice cream an absolute necessity. For the best of Bermuda, make your way to Bailey's Bay Ice Cream Parlour , a pastel-hued establishment known for its spectacular array of flavors. Get a sherbert, sorbet, ice cream, or go all out with a sundae, because it’s vacation, why not? 

Fort St. Catherine

Get a better glimpse into Bermuda’s history with a visit to Fort St. Catherine . The fort, constructed in 1614, showcases an impressive collection of artifacts from the island’s unique history. Guests can peruse its galleries, take in the sweeping views of the pink-sand beaches below, or walk over its drawbridge to feel like they’ve walked right into a fairytale. 

Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute

For more aquatic action, pay a visit to the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute (BUEI), a 40,000-square-foot science center. Here, guests can take part in a simulated dive experience that them 1,200 feet below the surface of the sea, where they’ll encounter whales, sharks, and more sea life to help them get to know the surrounding waters a bit better.

Hartley's Undersea Walk

Want the real thing instead of a simulation? Come try Hartley's Undersea Walk . Sort of a mix between diving and snorkeling, the walk involves wearing a bubble helmet, which allows participants to easily breathe and see the surrounding sea life all at once. Each walk is about 30 to 40 minutes, and the entire journey takes about three hours. 

Gibbs Hill Lighthouse

For one of the best views in Bermuda, make your way to Gibbs Hill Lighthouse , then all the way to the top of its 185 steps. Built in 1846, the lighthouse stands 117 feet tall and gives visitors a spectacular view of the verdant landscape below, disappearing into azure waters. The lighthouse is also one for the record books as it’s the oldest cast iron lighthouse in the world.

Lounge at Horseshoe Bay Beach

There’s a reason Horseshoe Bay Beach is one of the most photographed places in Bermuda — it’s downright stunning. The crescent-shaped beach comes with soft, baby-pink sand lapped by gin-clear waters beckoning visitors to take a dip. The beach is also a well-serviced one, with easy public transport, lifeguards, and beach loungers available for rent from end to end.

11 Things To Know Before Visiting Bermuda + Bermuda Travel Tips

Visiting Bermuda soon? Check out 11 things you should know before traveling to the island + some useful Bermuda travel tips.

Bermuda is a beautiful island that is full of hidden surprises. However, there are quite a few misconceptions about the island, and unlike more popular travel destinations, there are things that not many people know about it. But there are definitely things you should know before visiting Bermuda!

So if you’re thinking of visiting Bermuda, or you’ve been thinking where to go on your next vacation, read through these helpful Bermuda travel tips + where to stay in Bermuda tips.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE VISITING BERMUDA

1| bermuda is not in the caribbean.

This is one of the most popular misconceptions about Bermuda. Although it resembles a Caribbean island in many ways, Bermuda is actually in the North Atlantic. While this doesn’t actually make much difference to enjoying the island, it does make a difference on how you get there. If you are from the East Coast, Bermuda might be closer than you think!

2| It’s very close to the East Coast of the US

On that note, Bermuda is located very close to the East Coast of America, and this is where you’ll likely fly from to get to Bermuda. Flights to US cities such as New York and Boston take just over two hours, although you can make connections to almost any East Coast city.

On the other hand, if you don’t feel like flying, a more enjoyable way to reach the island is by combining Bermuda and New England on a cruise. Discover Celebrity’s Bermuda Cruise and imagine being able to visit the idyllic island of Bermuda for a few days followed by dreamy towns in Maine, the young city of Boston, and finish your trip in New York City.

3| Bermuda boasts some beautiful beaches

One of the main reasons Bermuda gets mistaken for a Caribbean island is the quality of the beaches. You can expect crystal clear water, beautiful sand, and plenty of sunbathers, similar to those you would find in Turks and Caicos or other Caribbean islands. Keep in mind though that the island is in the Atlantic: during the summer the water is warm, but can dip to much cooler temperatures in the winter.

Some of the most beautiful beaches are Jobson’s Cove, Tobacco Bay beaches, and, of course, the pink beaches… keep reading!! West Whale Beach is also great, however because of the low tide this is accessible only a few hours a day.  Humpback whales pass here in April, but most of the time they will be too far to actually see them!

4| You can’t rent a car on the island

Car rental is banned by the Bermudian government. The main reason for this is because the island is quite small (21 square miles) and has a small population of 65,000. However, the island expects around 600,000 tourists a year, and if they all rented cars the infrastructure wouldn’t be able to cope.

So what are your options? You can rent scooters and mopeds, as these are freely available and cheap to rent, or there is an emerging market of electric minicars too. Alternatively, there are places for renting bicycles if you prefer (and you can get some exercising done at the same time), or there are plenty of taxis available across the island.

5| You can swim in grottos

There are many grottos and cave systems on the coast of Bermuda, and all of them are beautiful. And to make things even better, you’re allowed to swim in them! There are plenty of companies that arrange swimming tours of the bigger cave systems, and this is usually the best way to experience them as you can take advantage of local knowledge.

Prospero’s & Cathedral Caves are located on the grounds of Grotto Bay Beach Resort, and are definitely worth a visit.

6| You should get travel insurance before flying out

Everyone traveling to Bermuda should think twice before flying out to the island without travel medical insurance. Medical cost in Bermuda appears to be the second highest in the world, often even higher than in the US! Most, if not all, American and British medical insurance companies won’t cover you if something happens to you while on the island, so you really need to think ahead before traveling. 

7| The historic Town of St. George is super instagrammable

The Town of St. George was the first settlement established on the island and is steeped in local history. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site for this very reason. There are so many beautiful buildings to see, many of which are very colorful and make for those perfect Instagram shots.

Make sure you visit King’s Square, which is in the center of town and a good place to start any tours. There are companies that provide walking and minibus tours, although it’s perfectly possible to guide yourself around the town if you prefer.

8 | It’s quite expensive

This is an important thing to consider when thinking about visiting Bermuda. Many people who have emigrated to the island don’t bother cooking at home because it’s just as expensive as eating out. The main reason for this is because the island is so small the vast majority of things are imported from other countries, which adds to the price massively.

9| Yes, it’s true. There are pink sand beaches!!

Do I have to say it again? PINK BEACHES! Bermuda is famous for its pink sand beaches , and they make ideal photo opportunities, particularly at sunset. The sand is made from tiny invertebrates that live on the coral reefs along Bermuda’s coastline.

I’m sure you’ve seen photos of Horseshoe Bay Beach before. Ranked by Conde Nast one of the top 20 beaches in the world, there is no way you can miss this unreal pink beach when visiting Bermuda!

10| Watch out for jellyfish

Bermuda is a known home of the Portuguese man o’war, a poisonous kind of jellyfish. Now, I don’t want to scare you. This jellyfish only appears occasionally, usually after storms, and shouldn’t deter you from visiting the island.

The beaches will have warning signs up if the jellyfish are seen there regularly, but it pays to keep an eye out anyway. Ask locals or your hotel if there have been any recent sightings at the beach before you go swimming on some lesser known beaches.

11| Bermudians speak English!

Hey, it will be easy to communicate with the locals! Bermuda’s national language is Bermudian English, which is a mix of American, British, and West Indian English. Some locals also speak Portuguese, but you won’t have any language problems.

WHERE TO STAY IN BERMUDA: BEST HOTELS IN BERMUDA

As I was telling you earlier, Bermuda is not a cheap destination. I usually recommend luxury, middle-range, and budget options, but in this case I had to add a super luxury category as middle range is already expensive.

Tuesday 24th of August 2021

Hi Mira! I don't personally know it, but the reviews are really good and it's been featured by Conde Nast. I would consider it a mid-range / boutique hotel. The prices are high for a boutique hotel, but this is Bermuda!

You can drink the tap water. I am a naive of Bermuda and it is safe to drink. Please verify your information before passing it on to others. Secondly it is cheaper to cook at home you just have to know how. It is a regular process for natives and eating out is a treat.

Wednesday 20th of July 2022

@Steph, I'm another native from Bermuda, In Bermuda we have no natural water source because we are an isolated small island and most of the underground water supply is brackish because the island is mainly on a limestone foundation which is a very permeable rock, so instead we collect our water from the sky (rain-water). This is why are roofs are white and slanted in all directions to catch the water and store it in tanks underneath our homes. Most of the population drinks tap water from their tanks as it comes straight from the sky and any water that is being drank and isn't from one of our Bermuda rain water catchment systems, is imported. We use the brackish ground water for our toilets and similar things.... my entire life living hear I have never heard of anyone getting sick we've been doing it for 400 years now!

@TB, YES indeed very glad you set the record straight I have family in Bermuda I'm looking forward to attending Cup match this year it's been a long time since I've been on the island I'm so excited

Monday 21st of June 2021

Thanks for your comment! When this article was first written in 2018, the CDC had issued a warning against drinking tap water. When that happens, it would be irresponsible of me to to tell people the water is safe to drink, because then somebody could get sick and it would be my fault. However, I have just checked and now the CDC only has a warning for "travelers visiting rural or remote areas that are served by unregulated water sources such as private wells", so I will edit the article-

Friday 21st of August 2020

You can drink the water in Bermuda, it in fact is clean. The people are called Bermudians not Bermudans. Also Whale Bay is only a beach during low tide so it’s a few hours a day that it is accessible, and you really can’t see whales from the beach as they are farther out.

Monday 7th of September 2020

Hi Jenn! Regarding the water while I agree that it is going to be safe to drink most of the times, the CDC in the US has warned not to, and I wouldn't be doing a good job if I recommended it and someone got sick: http://www.royalgazette.com/environment/article/20180315/us-issues-tap-water-warning For the name, from wat I've read both etimologies are correct: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Bermudan but I've just changed it. Thank you for letting me know about the Whale Bay, I inserted this info in the post just now!

The Ultimate Bermuda Itinerary & Travel Guide |

Planning a trip to Bermuda soon and looking for a solid travel itinerary? Well, look no further, because I’ve got the ultimate Bermuda travel guide for one week (written by a local)! This will go over lots of helpful information like  where to stay, when to go, how to get around, best things to do, and hidden gems! Trust me, this Bermuda itinerary will answer all your questions!

Bermuda is probably best known for its association with the mysterious disappearances and strange storms that created the still-existing no-flyover zone! While the jury ’ s still out on the truth behind all this, what I do know about this tiny archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic is that it is unlike any other in terms of its beauty, people, and culture.

Whether you ’ ve got all seven days or just three to spend, this Bermuda itinerary has everything you need to make your trip the best it can possibly be. 

Getting to Bermuda 

If you ’ re flying from the east coast of the United States and Canada, you ’ re in serious luck: flights to Bermuda are cheap and fast with Jetblue, American, United, Delta, and Air Canada; I ’ m talking under 100 dollar flights, round trip! Not to mention, direct flights from New York and Boston are a little less than one and a half hours. If you ’ re coming from somewhere else, it can really add up if you don ’ t book a bit far in advance, so be sure to watch out for deals.

My recommendation for finding cheap flights is to try to be flexible, and use sights like Skyscanner and Google Flights to find the best dates for you! You could also sign-up for a free email newsletter on site like Scott’s Cheap Flights  or Airfare Watch Dog

How to get around Bermuda

Bermuda is small, which means everything is quite close to each other, but it also means there aren ’ t many options in the way of public transport. The bus and a ferry that are very easy to use, but it ’ s really special to see the island on your own time with personal transportation like mopeds or twizys.

• Taxi : though this can be expensive, taxi drivers are the friendliest in the world and make incredible tour guides. Often, if you ’ d like to do an entire day tour with your driver, all you ’ d need to do is ask as soon as you get in, and they ’ ll clear their schedule for you.
• Bus : If you ’ re looking to make local friends who will point you to their favorite spots on the island to visit, the bus might be for you. Busses take coins or bus tokens which you can purchase at the Ferry terminal on Front Street. One fare costs $3.50, whereas a day pass will cost you $19. Plus, bus tokens are the same as ferry tokens, so it might be a good idea to spring for the day pass if you ’ re planning to use both!
• Ferry : the ride is gorgeous but it does mean you are less mobile, as the ferry only goes to certain well-trafficked areas of the island. I do recommend combining bus and ferry routes to see as much of the island as possible.
• Rental Car:  You could definitely rent a car for your week in Bermuda, but it really just depends on what you plan on doing during that week. Financially, it might make more sense to only rent cars on specific days, since you really don’t need a car the whole week. 

Where to Stay in Bermuda | Best Hotels & Resorts

There are so many options for places to stay in Bermuda, and at many different price points. Here ’ s a comprehensive list of my favorites: 

Airbnb in Bermuda :   This is (as always) a solid option if you ’ re going to get personal transport . This is also the cheapest option on the list: prices start as low as $85/night!

There are tons of incredible apartments, villas, and vacation homes you can rent out for a few days, and know it would be a fantastic way to experience the local island life of Bermuda! Plus, if you register a new Airbnb account , you can save up to $40 off your first night, which is always a nice little travel hack to save some money!

Rosedon Hotel

If you ’ re in the mood for a more classical Bermudian experience, look no further than Rosedon Hotel. With amenities like afternoon tea and evening live steel-drum performances, this boutique hotel knows how to preserve the heart of Bermuda ’ s history and culture in a way that feels authentic and even modern. Rosedon is a great option if you are looking to stay in the center of the island within its only municipal city. It can get a little expensive but check their specials page for deals like 30% off all rooms when you book for two or more nights in August, and free rides to and from the airport. 

Rooms start at $390/night. 

Guest review : “I loved this hotel staff was five star with hospitality and so friendly. The room was spotless and the beds was so comfortable. The hotel is a beautiful place for photos and the food is amazing and tasty. Great place to relax for family trips or if your traveling alone or for business.” – Rebecca, U.S.A

Cambridge Beaches (LUXURY) – AMAZING VIEWS

Cambridge Beaches may be a bit expensive, but if you ’ re coming to Bermuda to experience the best of what it has to offer, I highly recommend at least one night ’ s stay. If you ’ d rather save your money for food or adventures, at least make sure you book one dinner reservation at Cambridge Beaches ’ beach-front restaurant ‘ Breezes ’ . 

Prices for this resort start at $449/night. 

Guest review: “ Relaxation at its finest. W e were in the ocean view room-Long Bay. Such a beautiful spot. Staff were extremely nice and helpful. The room was very clean and the food was excellent. Location is pretty convenient. Easy walk to grocery store/liquor store. Free shuttle to the dockyard for trips to Hamilton.” – Dan, U.S.A

Bermuda Itinerary Day 1: Go to the Beach

You ’ ve arrived in Bermuda, finally, and the first thing you want to see is … the beach, of course! Bermuda is famous for its cerulean blue waters and unusually pink beaches. The only problem is, in the summer, some of Bermuda ’ s best beaches can be a bit over-crowded. If you want to skip the crowds of sun-burnt Americans, no fear: there is more than enough beach to go around. 

Things to do for the ultimate beach day: 

• Take a long walk along Horseshoe Bay
• Have a picnic in Jobson ’ s Cove
• Relax on Warwick Long Bay
• See the entire island from Gibb ’ s Hill Lighthouse
• Have dinner at the Dining Room 

Warwick Long Bay

Horseshoe Bay

If you ’ re looking for a top beach in the world as chosen by Conde Nast, look no further than Horseshoe Bay. If you head here too late in the day, though, prepare for hoards of tourists. This beach is on almost every westward bus line, so it ’ s the easy to get to for anyone without personal transport. I recommend taking the bus early in the morning to get there before crowds and walking all the way down the beach until you find a small path. This will lead you to a maze of lesser-known smaller beaches and cliff-top views of the ocean. If you go early enough, you might even get an entire beach to yourself. 

Johnson’s Cove

Jobson ’ s Cove is a rather famous one, and is the perfect place to set yourself up for the day if you ’ ve brought your own picnic. If you ’ re staying in a hotel, have them prepare a little picnic for your trip; if you ’ re in an Airbnb, be sure to stop at the nearest grocery store, Supermart, for supplies before making your way to the beach. 

Go Cliff Jumping and Exploring

In the summer, you ’ ll typically find locals climbing all over the unusual rocks that punctuate the shoreline here. Follow them if you ’ re feeling a little crazy and want to go cliff jumping. Once you ’ ve had your fill, take a walk through the sandy paths toward Warwick Long Bay, an often-forgotten stretch of beach arguably even more beautiful than Conde Nast ’ s preferred spot. 

Gibb ’ s Hill

By the end of the day, you ’ ll no doubt be feeling a little sun-tired. End the day by watching the sun go down at the top of Bermuda ’ s first and oldest lighthouse, Gibb ’ s Hill, just a stone ’ s throw away from Horseshoe Bay. Climb its 185 steps for the best panoramic view of Bermuda and then eat dinner just below in its adjoining restaurant, The Dining Room. 

Bermuda Itinerary Day 2: A Journey to the Past

To get the full experience this unique little archipelago provides, it ’ s important to make time for its still-existing first-ever town, St. George ’ s. This small town is known as the oldest continuously occupied settlement in the Western Hemisphere. Its history, churches, cobblestoned streets and quaint cottages make St. George a must-do for all visitors.

Things to do:

• Watch a historical reenactment in the town square
• Visit local art galleries and museums
• Go shopping
• Have lunch at the celebrated White Horse Tavern
• Take a walk up to the unfinished church
• Make your way to Fort St. Catherine ’ s and Tobacco Bay

If you ’ re staying outside the eastern part of the island, the best way to get here is by ferry. Take the fast ferry from Hamilton in the morning and arrive right in the middle of town, in King ’ s square, in time for the famous historical reenactment that takes place at noon sharp every day. From there, wind your way through tiny alleyways and around UNESCO world heritage sights like St. Peter ’ s church, the oldest in the Western hemisphere. It ’ s best to get a little lost on these roads by yourself. You never know what you might come across.

White Horse Tavern

When you ’ re tired of walking, stop in to White Horse Tavern for lunch. Right on the water, this old English-style pub is something of an institution in Bermuda. If you ’ re feeling hungry, try the Bermuda Island burger; it features some of the best local flavors this little island has to offer. 

Tobacco Bay

Now that you ’ ve explored the town, it ’ s time to get to the beach. Tobacco bay is just about a ten minute walk from the unfinished church, and a stone ’ s throw from impressive historic attractions and fortresses such as the landing site of Bermuda ’ s first settlers, Fort St. Catherine. Even if you ’ re not much of a history buff, this museum and fort is worth the visit, if only for the uninterrupted ocean views. Once you ’ ve finished it is also home to one of the most beautiful coves for snorkeling and paddle boarding, and happens to be a favourite among locals for its summer-time evening bonfire and happy hour specials. Don ’ t worry about bringing anything, either; kiosks on the beach provide everything you need, like standup paddleboards, kayaks and tons of snorkeling gear.

Bermuda Itinerary Day 3: Adventure Time 

You can ’ t go to Bermuda without taking a snorkeling or scuba diving tour. Bermuda ’ s intricate reef system has not only protected its shores for thousands of years from eroding away entirely but has also managed to capture many ships – between 250 and 400, to be specific – in its jaws. This makes for some truly amazing snorkeling and scuba diving. 

KS Watersports offers snorkeling tours that pick up from Hamilton Princess marina at 10am, or from Fairmont Southampton dock at 10:15am. The snorkel tour stops at two different sights, one shipwreck and one of our famous coral reefs. See reviews here

Price : $89 per person for 2.5 – 3 hours. 

Once you ’ ve been safely returned to shore, hop on the bus or the ferry and make your way to Dockyard. If you ’ re on the bus, make sure you ask the driver to drop you off near sea glass beach. This little hideaway is famous on the island for being covered in – you guessed it – sea glass. It ’ s the perfect spot for little souvenirs, but it ’ s notoriously hard to find. Luckily, Bermudians are incredibly friendly, and will even walk you to the beach if you ’ re having a hard time locating it. 

Head to Dockyard 

Go by foot or by bus once you ’ ve collected all the sea glass you can carry. This historic maritime village is home to a major cruise ship port and serves as a hub for sightseeing, shopping, dining, entertainment and plenty of other great experiences. I recommend stopping into the Clocktower Mall to shop trinkets and have some Haagen Dasz ice cream. From there, wander over to attractions like Bermuda Glassblowers, where you ’ ll be able to witness artisans crafting amazing artworks in real time.

End the day on a high note: Dockyard ’ s best attraction, in my opinion, is the boozy mini-golf course, Fun Golf . Enjoy panoramic ocean views while the sun sets right in front of your eyes, and sip on island favorites like the Dark n ’ Stormy and Rum Swizzle while you swing and putt. It ’ s one of the best ways to end a great day on the island, especially if you ’ re traveling with a group. 

Open daily from 10am until Midnight.  

Prices: $15 per adult, $12 per child. Reservations not required.

Bermuda Itinerary Day 4: Boating in Cambridge Beaches

If you ’ re on the western side of the island, I recommend renting a boat from Somerset Bridge Watersports . This is easiest to reach by bus or personal transport. See reviews here

Prices: 4 pp 6pp

• 2 Hours $95 $105
• 4 Hours $145 $165
• 6 Hours $200 $230
• 8 Hours $260 $280

Now that you ’ ve got your own boat to explore the island with, make it your mission to visit the caves that surround Cambridge Beaches Resort. This is one of the calmest, clearest stretches of water you ’ ll find on the island, and there are plenty of tiny beaches you can claim for yourself for the day. Keep an eye out for turtles; this area is well known for its healthy sea turtle population. 

Lunch by Boat: Breezes

One of the best things to do when you have your own boat in Bermuda is have lunch at Breezes restaurant. This restaurant is on the back side of Cambridge Beaches resort, in a wide bay that is usually filled with locals on their boats laughing and enjoying the calm, blue waters. When you get hungry, just walk right up to the restaurant from the water: you ’ ll be seated immediately. If you ’ d rather go for dinner, just make a reservation and come back once you ’ ve returned your boat. It ’ s a sublime spot to watch the sunset: you can watch the sun literally dip into the ocean as you sip your cocktail.

See a Shipwreck

Once you ’ re ready to return to the water, jet westward toward the open ocean to see one of Bermuda ’ s only out-of-water ship wrecks, the Vixen. This boat serves as a sanctuary for fish today, but originally was purposefully sunk to protect Dockyard from any possible military attacks during the Revolutionary War. 

Bermuda Itinerary Day 5: Shopping in the City

By day five, no doubt you ’ ll be a bit tired of beaches and hot sun, so why not spend the day in Bermuda ’ s only city? Shop for gifts, explore local businesses, have some tea, or just drink and chill out in one of the many bars and restaurants along Front Street. Hamilton is easily accessible by all forms of transportation and has all the entertainment you need. Make sure you stop into Bermuda ’ s tourism hub and bar on Front Street for some other great adventure ideas and reasonable cocktails. 

Bird Cage is new and boasts fantastic views of the Hamilton harbor. Drinks are reasonably priced and the crowd is always positive. 

Harbor Nights

On Wednesdays in the summer, Front Street is shut down to cars and turned into one big block party called Harbor Nights. I highly recommend this if your trip coincides; it ’ s a peak behind the curtain of Bermuda ’ s vibrant culture and community. Watch Bermuda gombeys dance in the street while you snack on warm donuts; try a flight of Bermuda rum.

Gombeys are a huge fixture in Bermudian culture: when there were still slave owners, slaves were not allowed to dance unless they were instructed to do so in these costumes for the entertainment of their masters. It slowly became more about protesting than falling in line, though, and today the tradition stands as a reminder and celebration of the strength of Bermuda ’ s black population. 

Teatime and Happy Hour

Take a walk to the end of Front Street until you find yourself on Pitts Bay Road and see a sign for the Rosedon Hotel. Walk up the hill to the front porch just before 4.00pm to arrive in time for tea. Rosedon has been around since 1901 and has been serving tea almost as long. Its new restaurant and gardens have recently brought Rosedon into the modern age, though, so expect modern taste with a classic twist. 

Finish the evening just across the street at Hamilton Princess in their luxury over-water bar,1609. While the drinks are quite expensive, the views and ocean breeze make this a can ’ t-miss experience. 

Bermuda Itinerary Day 6: Go on an Adventure

You’re nearing the end of your trip! It’s the perfect time to go all out. Get wild on a jetski, drive the entire island in a day, or simply put your feet up and let someone take care of you on a luxury Catamaran cruise.

Jet Ski Tours – Somerset Bridge Watersports 

If you ’ re looking for a great adventure and love a good thrill, look no further than Somerset Bridge Watersports ’ jetski and snorkeling tours. It ’ s a little expensive, but worth every penny. You ’ ll spend two hours weaving through coral reef formations and then diving down into them, feeding fish at the shipwreck-turned-nature reserve The Vixen, anchoring and swimming at the famous Pompano Beach sand bar. See the best of Bermuda in the most fun way possible. Plus, if you don ’ t have your own transportation and take the ferry into Dockyard, Somerset Bridge tours pays for your taxi to their location. 

Price: $200

Duration: 2 hours 

Rent a Twizy – drive the entire island in a day

Twizys are tiny electric cars for two people. They are not only good for the environment and much safer than a moped, but also incredibly fun to drive and easy to maneauver. They also happen to be one of the cheaper options for transportation if you ’ ve only got a few days and want to see as much as you can. 

Current Vehicles Bermuda  

Price: $99 per day 

If you ’ re planning on making a day of your own with a Twizy (which I highly recommend), you should make time to visit Admiralty House. This strange landmark is made up of jagged cliffs that have become famous across the island for their adrenaline-inducing powers. It ’ s a rite of passage among locals and, if nothing else, one of the most beautiful look-out points on the island. 

Explore Bermuda on a Catamaran

This is one of the best ways to get the most out of your vacation in Bermuda if you’re only visiting for a short time. The catamaran company will take care of absolutely everything for you, from meals and cocktails to all the water sports and activities you could possibly want. Just meet the cruise at the dock in Dockyard at your chosen time. They’ll drop you off back in Dockyard, where you can then head back into Hamilton by ferry for drinks or stay in the area and try out one of the more local bars. 

Restless Native

Prices: 74.99 per person for 3.5 hours 

Bermuda Itinerary Day 7: High Notes

There ’ s so much to do in Bermuda, and this itinerary barely scratches the surface. You ’ ll see everything that makes this island so special if you follow this itinerary, but there are plenty of things to do that I didn ’ t cover, too. Take a look at 50 things to do in Bermuda for a more comprehensive list. 

Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve

Cooper ’ s Island is one of the lesser-known and most beautiful natural sights in Bermuda. Until 1995, Cooper ’ s was a restricted base for the U.S Military and then later NASA. Today, you can wander among its pristine beauty in complete solitude; in less touristy months of the year, you might find yourself to be the only one on Cooper ’ s Island at all. I recommend taking a picnic and a great book or two and setting yourself up for the entire day. 

Getting there: Cooper’s Island is hard to reach without your own transportation. It’s completely isolated and you will not be able to get a taxi or bus once you are over there. I recommend doing this on a day when you rent your own transportation.

Crystal Caves

If you ’ re still in the mood to explore, make your way back to civilisation from Cooper ’ s Island westward toward Hamilton. Just across the causeway, you ’ ll find two of Bermuda ’ s biggest attractions: Swizzle Inn and Crystal Caves. 

I recommend checking out Crystal Caves first. This unique spot was actually found by accident by two teenagers. These hidden caves are host to intricate million-year-old formations called stalactites and stalagmites that take thousands of years to build and look exactly like icicles of crystal. The walk through is a truly ethereal experience.  

Crystal Caves are open from 9-5pm every day. 

Price: $22 per person.

Afterward, walk over to Swizzle Inn to have a taste of Bermuda ’ s original Rum Swizzle recipe. Grab yourself a pitcher and a plate of nachos. Top it off with Bailey ’ s ice cream from the parlour across the street; their flavors are all made in house weekly with Bermuda cow ’ s milk. 

Bermuda Aquarium and Zoo  

If there’s only one other thing you do while you’re in Bermuda, make it the aquarium and zoo. This isn ’ t just for kids; Bermuda ’ s only zoo has two open air exhibits where you can walk among free-roaming monkeys, birds, and lizards. The zoo is seriously worth the visit. Finish the day with a walk over to Flatt ’ s Village on the other side of the bay, where you can find fresh food like poke bowls or flatbreads from the restaurant Village Pantry. 

Bermuda Aquarium and Zoo  

Prices: $10 per adult

$5 per child 

The Aquarium and Zoo is easily reachable by bus, predominantly, or by personal transportation.

5 Best Hotels & Resorts in Bermuda: 2019 Readers' Choice Awards

By CNT Editors

Mark Twain once famously said, “You can go to heaven if you want. I’d rather stay in Bermuda .” And he did, quite often in fact, during annual trips to the island in the mid-1800s, when landmark hotels like the Hamilton Princess first opened their doors for overseas guests. As tourism blossomed at the turn of the century, so did the island’s accommodations—cultivating a unique mix of beachfront resorts, boutique hotels, family-run guesthouses, and traditionally designed cottage colonies as a result. Today it’s this special blend of hotels, inns, and resorts that keep people coming back to Bermuda’s pink sand shores.

For our 32nd annual Readers’ Choice Awards survey—yes, more than three decades—a record 600,000 registered voters weighed in. The impressive number of 2019 results were especially exciting for us: we’re ever curious about where you go, what you loved, and who you went with. As you continue to travel, we continue to listen: Here are the hotels in Bermuda you loved most this year.

All listings featured on Condé Nast Traveler are independently selected by our editors. If you book something through our links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

5. Hamilton Princess & Beach Club Arrow

Hamilton Princess Hotel & Beach Club has stood in the City of Hamilton since 1885, the year after Queen Victoria’s daughter Louise, for whom the hotel is named, visited Bermuda . From the street, this stately structure is hard to miss. For starters, it’s bright pink, a rose-colored hue that led locals to deem it the “Pink Palace” when it was first built. These days it’s simply called "the Princess"—once inside you’ll see her crown jewels sparkle. The Princess is located in the heart of Hamilton, a five-minute walk to shops, restaurants, and attractions. Thanks to its glittering new makeover, it’s also attracting an entirely new demographic: babymooners seeking a vacation, middle-aged couple, and families—that new pool and beach club are great spots to let the kiddos blow off some steam.

4. Fairmont Southampton Arrow

It’s takes about 50 minutes to reach Fairmont Southampton from Bermuda 's L.F. Wade International Airport, but who cares? The drive hugs the turquoise coastline for most of the ride, and you can snap photos of shimmering Horseshoe Bay , the island’s finest slice of pink sand , directly next to this mammoth hotel. The stately entryway, flanked by lush bougainvillea and tropical hibiscus, couldn’t possibly be more inviting, and the white-jacketed gents who are there to open the car doors seem happy that you’ve arrived. Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse is a short walk away—you can climb a cast-iron tower for a stunning 360-degree panorama—as is Church Bay, a well-protected cove that’s home to some of Bermuda’s best snorkeling. If you’re searching for a full-service property with all the amenities you’d expect of the island’s largest hotel, you can’t do much better than this spot in Southampton.

3. Rosewood Tucker's Point Arrow

On a hilltop overlooking turquoise Castle Harbour, Rosewood is the epitome of extravagance, from its whitewashed marbled corridors right on down to its powdery beach. When this swank resort first opened as Rosewood Tucker’s Point Hotel in 2009, it ushered in a new level of luxury in Bermuda . Nearly 10 years later the bar was raised yet again, thanks to a $25 million renovation of the guest rooms and public spaces. It's now got a handsome new look, a handful of just-built additions, and a bevy of resort-wide upgrades. Expect all the bells and whistles of a full-service luxury stay: A Robert Rulewich–designed, championship-caliber golf course; several swimming pools (some for adults only, others just for kids); a brand-new state-of-the-art fitness center; a full-service Sense Spa; tennis courts; a kids' club; and a private beach that will keep you drooling for days.

2. The Reefs Resort & Club Arrow

Set on a coastal cliff, The Reefs Resort & Club is home to one of Bermuda 's finest slices of beach, one that magically unfolds into a pristine underwater environment the moment you step into its turquoise waters. Swim out about 20 yards and you’ll be greeted by the very reefs gives this hotel its name—semi-submerged coral heads positively teaming with marine life. Guests generally are repeat ones; the family-owned vibe is pervasive. Expect a well-oiled team of hotel professionals who take pride in knowing your name and making your stay as pleasant as possible. This is an oceanfront boutique resort perfectly suited for a lazy beach vacation.

1. Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa Arrow

Bermuda is generally divided into two parts, east and west, with the capital of Hamilton somewhat in the middle. Most luxury resorts reside in Hamilton or on the east end, but one historic hotel is found on the quieter west end. Celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, Cambridge Beaches recently completed a full revamp, thanks to new owners Dovetail + Co (the hospitality group behind the Urban Cowboy and Wayfinder brands). The resort’s iconic pink cottages, four bars and restaurants, two-tiered pool, and expansive grounds that include four private beaches have been brought into the 21st century—no small feat since some architectural details date back to the 1600s. The 86 cottages are newly chic, with a tropical-inspired coral and seafoam green color palette, dark wood statement beds, quirky rattan chairs, and boldly patterned textiles. Vintage-inspired pastel-colored scalloped umbrellas and cushy lounge chairs now populate the refurbished pool area and its accompanying bar and restaurant, which also sports a magnificently detailed shell-encrusted back bar. A highlight is the brand-new Sunken Harbor Club (an outpost of the same-named Brooklyn bar), which is decorated with shipwreck treasures rescued by the late Bermudian diving legend Teddy Tucker. Bermudian-rooted cuisine is on offer, with dishes like shark hash and plantain-stuffed wild boar to complement classic island cocktails and new creations by barmaster St. John Frizell. A revamp of the spa and indoor pool is planned for this year. Rooms from $495. —Devorah Lev Tov

ELLE Escapes: Bermuda

The island destination combines your every desire—even ones you haven’t yet uncovered.

What’s more: Bermuda suits any type of traveler. Adventure-seekers can hike, bike, snorkel, and dive. Epicureans can taste everything—from the island’s famed fish sandwich served on raisin bread, to steak and sushi at the finest restaurants. Here, your full guide to an idyllic island getaway in the paradise of Bermuda.

What to See

National museum of bermuda.

Discover the island’s historical importance at the National Museum of Bermuda , where exhibits describe everything from its notorious shipwrecks of the past to its tourism industry. Hint: It may have something to do with that triangle you learned so much about in elementary school. After, you can check out the Royal Naval Dockyard , which dates back more than 150 years.

What the capital, City of Hamilton, lacks in size, it makes up for in activities: Many of the island’s best bars, restaurants, and boutiques are all here, most within a few blocks of one another. Shoppers will want to stop at 1609 for a curated offering of clothing, skin care, and snacks; the soaring, bi-level Atelerie for home goods, chic Bermuda-emblazoned accessories, and party supplies; and TABS to bring home a pair of their very own Bermuda shorts.

The Beaches

You likely won’t be able to pick a favorite beach on Bermuda—since they’re all stunning. The best one for you will depend on what you’re in the mood to do (or not do). Horseshoe Bay , for example, is one of the more frequented, and has lifeguards and beach loungers. If you want something quieter, check out Church Bay . It has spectacular snorkeling and abundant marine life. One of the best ways to explore multiple beaches in a day is to embark on the South Shore Walking Trail ; it connects four of the island’s best sandy spots with one mile-long trail.

Walsingham Nature Reserve (Tom Moore’s Jungle)

For something a little more adventurous than wiggling your toes in the pink sand, this 12-acre park —named after the 19th-century poet who frequented it—is a veritable playground for thrill-seekers. You can keep it low-key and just hike the subtropical forest trails, or cool off with a dip in the stunning mangrove pond inside Blue Hole Park . Perhaps the most spectacular attraction, though, is Causeway Cave , a deep-water grotto that’s an ethereal spot for swimming or snorkeling .

Agua by Agua Bendita Kiwi Sabanero Dorado Bikini Top

Agua by Agua Bendita Jengibre Sabanero Dorado High-Waisted Bikini Bottom

Kule The Silk Elba Pareo

Where to eat, woodys restaurant.

While there’s no right answer as to who makes the best fish sandwich on the island, one of the top contenders is this famed spot located in Sandys Parish. In addition to the dish de résistance, which is loaded with a meaty, crispy piece of wahoo or snapper, and crunchy, creamy coleslaw, the menu also features fried chicken, breaded shrimp, and a variety of wraps.

Bolero Brasserie

There may be no better place on the island for a lively group meal than this French brasserie in City of Hamilton. Opt for shares like shrimp with chili & garlic and the Bistro Bibb to start before you move onto your main course. Make sure to save space for the ice cream sundae, made with honeycomb ice cream and bits of a chocolate crunch bar.

Huckleberry Restaurant

Set inside the boutique Rosedon Hotel , this innovative option is just minutes from downtown Hamilton. Snag a table on the covered porch. On a recent visit, the lunch menu included a tuna crudo served with a prosecco gel, crispy oyster mushrooms with an addictive hazelnut cream, and a decadent molten chocolate-gingerbread cake.

Where to drink, swizzle inn.

The oldest—and perhaps most famous—pub on the island, Swizzle Inn is home to the Rum Swizzle , Bermuda’s national drink. The cocktail, made with Gosling’s Black Seal and Gold Seal rums; orange, pineapple, and lemon juices; fruit liqueurs; falernum; and secret ingredients, was created here in 1932 and has since garnered legions of fans. Even if rum isn’t your thing, it’s worth visiting this treasure, beloved for its friendly staff, laid-back atmosphere, and seasonal live music.

Sunken Harbor Club

A sister property of Brooklyn’s buzzy Sunken Harbor Club, this new watering hole inside Cambridge Beaches has quickly become one of the most popular spots for both locals and travelers alike. The menu is a thoughtful collection of everything from classics like the Sunken Swizzle (their take on the Rum Swizzle) to lower-ABV cocktails like the Yellow Tang, made with vodka, pineapple, banana, and passion fruit.

Where to stay, cambridge beaches.

This sprawling property at the western tip of the island has been welcoming those looking for privacy and luxury. With its four private beaches, two private coves, and more than 80 suites spread across 23 acres, we wouldn’t blame you if you never set foot off the property. The immense size of the rooms here is also of note—each one boasts spectacular waterfront views and private outdoor space.

The Loren at Pink Beach

There are few properties that rival The Loren , perched next to Bermuda’s celebrated Pink Beach, for location, style, or elegance. Even the smallest rooms here are 600-square-foot suites; all feature high-end towels and bedding, marble bathrooms, and walk-in rain showers. The hideaway is also home to one of the island’s best spas, the Sisley Paris Spa at The Loren .

Moon Juice Plump Jelly

After a flight and a day or two in the sun, your skin may show signs of dehydration. This hyaluronic serum—made with both hyaluronic acid and PGA peptides—can keep your face plump and dewy, even after time at the beach.

Supergoop PLAY Body Mousse SPF 50 with Blue Sea Kale

Not only is this whipped sunscreen incredibly fun to apply, the SPF 50 provides broad-spectrum protection from the sunniest of island rays. Plus, who doesn’t love the light cucumber-and-citrus scent?

Indie Lee Energize Body Wash

If you’re looking for a cleanser that will get you pumped for a day of exploring, this gentle yet energizing version is it. Scented with a delicious mix of grapefruit, bergamot, orange, and eucalyptus, and loaded with vitamins A and B, it’s a bright and fresh way to start your morning.

Currency - Bermudian Dollar. The Bermudian dollar is equivalent to the US dollar. You will receive change in both USD and Bermudian dollars in Bermuda. Bermuda is SUPER expensive!

Language - English

Plugs - Types A and B

Safety - Bermuda is super safe! Just take normal precautions.

The overall best time to visit Bermuda is June to September. Although the English territory is beautiful year round. I visited in December and the weather was lovely (70s - 60s F) and the prices were better than during the high season. If you are looking for more of a beach vacation than I would suggest visiting in the summer.

Getting To Bermuda

There are really two ways to get to Bermuda - by plane or cruise.

The only airport in Bermuda is L.F. Wade International Airport located in St. George's.

You can find flights from the US and Europe with airlines such as Jetblue, American, British Airways, and more. A full list of airlines that fly to Bermuda can be found on the L.F. Wade International Airport website here . Flights are typically very expensive to Bermuda because of the lack of airlines that fly t0 the island and because it is a destination in high demand.

Going to Bermuda via cruise ship is also popular. Popular cruises include Celebrity, Norwegian, Carnival, Regis, and more.

How To Get Around Bermuda

The easiest and most convenient way to get around Bermuda is by taxi. With that said, they are also the most expensive mode of transportation on the island (a 5 minute ride can cost $11). I only took a taxi when it was absolutely necessary. There is no Uber in Bermuda, so if you want to order a taxi you will have to use the Hitch Customer app.

I found that the cheapest and easiest way to get around Bermuda was by ferry. The ferries are inexpensive ($5 a ride) and quick. The most common route I took was Dockyard to Hamilton. This ride only took 20 minutes compared to 40 minutes by taxi.

The ferry can be unpredictable. If there is no cruise ship docked then the ferry may not run. Keep in mind that the schedule online is not always correct, be sure to read the physical schedule posted at the ferry terminal.

There are four ferry routes you can take. The Blue Route is Hamilton to Dockyard, the Pink Route is Hamilton to Paget, the Orange Route is Dockyard to St. Georges, the Green Route is Hamilton to Rockaway. More on the Bermuda ferries here.

Mopeds In bermuda

You will see mopeds all over Bermuda. Mopeds are available for rental. While they are popular among the locals, mopeds are dangerous if you don't have experience with them, especially on Bermuda. The driving on the island is fast. You can rent mopeds here for $28 a day.

Twizy's in bermuda

Twizy's are another popular way for tourists to get around the island. They are 3 wheel vehicles that fit 3 people. They are like a mix between a car and a moped. Twizy's are a bit safer than mopeds. You can rent Twizy's here for $130 a day.

Buses in bermuda

The bus is the easiest cheap option for getting around Bermuda. There are busses that run from St. Georges all the way to Dockyard. When I went to Bermuda (off-season) the busses stopped operating at 11pm.

Cars In Bermuda

Tourists cannot rent cars in Bermuda.

Where To Stay In Bermuda

Prince Alfred Terraces (photos above) - Prince Alfred Terraces is a lovely place to stay if you are looking for a quite and relaxing escape in Bermuda. Located in Sandy's Parish the Prince Alfred Terraces are secluded and have everything you need right at your fingertips. These 3 bedroom 2 bathroom condos are equipped with a full sized kitchen, living room, and a private dock perfect for cookouts, snorkeling, and reading. You will also be very close to Dockyard which is full of shops, restaurants, and the ferry that can take you all over the island for an affordable price. Enjoy the relaxed boho beach decor and beautiful views of the water at Prince Alfred Terraces. The Prince Alfred Terraces is a perfect place to stay in Bermuda for families or groups.

The Hamilton Princess - The Hamilton Princess is a Bermuda gem. Some may say that it is the best hotel on the Island. There are endless activities to do at the Hamilton Princess including tennis, luxury shopping, art tours, spa treatments, swimming in the multiple pools on the property, renting a Twizzy, golfing, participating in watersports, and walking around the marina. The Hamilton Princess, located in Hamilton, is a lovely option if you are looking for a luxury hotel on the island. The Hamilton Princess is a perfect place to stay in Bermuda for couples.

The Reefs Resort - The Reefs is located about a mile west of the world renowned Horseshoe Bay Beach. While the location is amazing The Reefs offer some of the best dining and ocean views on the island. (I walked the entire coastline of Bermuda when I visited so this is a big claim) One of the most special things is that the Reefs Resort does is dining on the beach. They will set you up with a table, chairs, and umbrella right on the sand and serve you dinner. The Reefs Resort is the perfect place to stay in Bermuda on the beach.

The Coco Reef Resort - The Coco Reef Resort is the perfect place to stay in Bermuda is you are on a budget. It can be very hard to visit Bermuda on a budget as it is a destination in high demand, but the Coco Reef Resort offers comfortable beachfront accommodation for about a third the price of their competitors. Located just north of the quite Elbow Beach, the Coco Reef Resort is a lovely option.

What To Do In Bermuda

Don't let this tiny island fool you, Bermuda is more than just stunning beaches. These are the best things to do in Bermuda.

The Railway Trail is the best way to see Bermuda. Most of the trail is situated along the coastline, which offers spectacular views of the Atlantic. You will also get to experience all of the villages that you otherwise would not see if you didn't hike the Railway Trail. I also met so many lovely locals along the way. This 22 mile trail can be split into two days of hiking. Some people will bike the Railway Trail in one day.

The Railway Trail can be very confusing to hike because of the breaks in the trail. If you do not want the stress of navigating the trail yourself I would recommend doing this tour . If you are visiting Bermuda during the summer book this tour ahead of time because it is likely to sell out.

When I hiked the Railway Trail I started in Dockyard and made my way to the Bermuda Botanical Garden which ended up being about eleven miles. On the second day of the hike I walked from Coney Island near St. Georges to Hamilton which ended up being around nine miles. My favorite part of the hike was Coney Island to St. Georges, so if you choose to do one of the two I recommend that portion of the hike.

Visit the Crystal and Fantasy Caves

This Bermuda travel guide would not be complete without the Crystal and Fantasy Caves. Discovered in 1907 by two local boys the Fantasy and Crystal Caves are a great thing to do in Bermuda if you are sick of the Beach. Located in Hamilton Parish near St. Georges, the caves require you to walk down 81 slippery steps. So if you are of old age or do not think you can handle that then it is best you skip the Caves.

Just like everything else in Bermuda during the high season, the caves will sell out. If you want to see them you must book them in advance. If you are visiting in the summer book your tickets at least a month in advance. You can book your tickets here .

Go Shopping On Front Street In Hamilton

Front Street in Hamilton not only has the best shopping and restaurants in Bermuda, but it also has colorful storefronts located right on the water. Taking a stroll down Front Street is worth it even if you don't plan on shopping.

Some of my favorite shops on Front Street are Modblu offering lovely gifts and womens clothing, The Island Shop offering the best souvenirs on the island, and The Urban Cottage offering stylish women's clothing.

My favorite restaurants on Front Street are Pearl - a sushi restaurant, The Pickled Onion - an affordable restaurant serving mostly seafood, and The Terrace - offering amazing views of the water.

If you are looking for the best food on Front Street I would do this tour to try all of the local favorites. Front Street is a must add to your Bermuda travel guide.

Go To The Beach

There are so many beautiful Beaches in Bermuda, you seriously cannot go wrong wherever you decide to go. These are my favorite Beaches in Bermuda.

Horseshoe Bay is a probably the most popular beach in Bermuda. The pink sand and secret coves make this beach a diamond. The only downside to Horseshoe Bay is how busy it can get, especially during the high season and when cruise ships dock. During certain times of the day in the summer you cant even find a seat. You will have to visit Horseshoe Bay while in Bermuda, but try to go in the morning to avoid the crowds.

More on Horseshoe Bay here.

When people visit Horseshoe Bay they also tend to stop at Warwick Bay. There is a path made of sand that connects Horseshoe Bay, Warwick Bay, and Jobsons Bay Beach making it easy to explore all three in one day. The path is about a mile long, but it is considered one of the most beautiful beach walks in the world.

Warwick Bay is much more secluded than the nearby Horseshoe Bay. You will find that it is less crowded and much smaller.

More on Warwick Bay here.

Church Bay is a hidden local beach that is absolutely stunning! I stumbled upon Church Bay on a walk to De Island Shack for my morning coffee. Church Bay is located by Somerset Village and is a perfect escape from the crowds and other tourists. The snorkeling is amazing at Church Bay because it is partially enclosed by rocks and doesn't have big waves.

More on Church Bay here.

st. CATHARINE'S beach

Located in St. George's, St. Catharine's Beach, is known for its soft white sand and incredible snorkeling due to the high volume to reefs in the area. Not only is St. Catherine's Beach a stunning beach to spend a day, but it is also right next to the UNESCO world heritage site Fort Saint Catherine.

Unlike most of the beaches in Bermuda St Catharine's Bay requires an entrance fee of $7. St. Catharine's Bay is a lovely choice if you are staying in St. George's and don't want to travel far to go to a beach.

More on St. Catherines here.

Also located on St. George's, Tobacco Bay is known for its huge rock formations protecting the beach from the open ocean. These rock formations make for a lovely place for snorkeling. Tobacco Bay is a great spot for families because of the weak currents and waves. You will also find the Tobacco Bay Bar and Grille right bay the beach.

You cannot go to Bermuda without snorkeling. Bermuda has some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving in the world because of its various breeds of fish, dolphins, and sea turtles. Doing a snorkeling tour will allow you to get the best out of your snorkeling experience because you will visit the best spots and have a guide to ensure your safety. Just like everything else in Bermuda the tours will book up! I love this snorkeling tour because you will get to snorkel around shipwrecks.

If you are a fellow adrenaline junky then cliff jumping in Bermuda is for you. There are so many amazing cliff jumping spots in Bermuda due the the amount of rocks and bridges on the island. Some of my favorite spots are on Diving Board Island (also known as Alpha Island), in Blue Hole Park (east end), Admiralty Park (Hamilton), Horseshoe Bay Beach (west end), and Watford Bridge (Dockyard).

Do not go cliff jumping if no one else is or locals have advised you not to!

Spend a Day In St. George's

Exploring St. George's is a great way to spend a day in Bermuda, especially if you are sick of the beach or its an overcast day. St. George's, once the capital of Bermuda, is a UNESCO world heritage site located in the northeast point of the island. While in St. George's checkout Catherine's Beach and Tobacco Bay (next to each other), Drew's Bay (Local Fav), The Unfinished Church, St. Peter's Church, King's Square, Wahoo's Bistro, and Cooper Island Nature Reserve.

Go To The Swizzle Inn 

Located right next to the Crystal and Fantasy Caves, the Swizzle Inn is home to the Bermuda famous drink the Rum Swizzle. The Rum Swizzle is a mix of orange juice, pineapple juice, cherry, and black seal rum.

The Swizzle Inn is open until midnight and also serves great bar food. Any Bermuda travel guide is not complete without a mention of the Swizzle Inn .

Where To Eat In Bermuda

Coffee in bermuda.

De Island Shack - De Island Shack is an great local coffee shop in Sandys Parish that is perfect if you are looking for a reasonably priced morning cup of coffee. You can also find delicious lunch options at De Island Shack.

Rock Island Coffee Shop - Located in Hamilton, Rock Island Coffee is a fan favorite in Bermuda since opening in 1995. The beans at Rock Island come from all over the world and are roasted in small batches making the coffee delectable. On the bakery side of things you will find pastries baked fresh daily by an in house baker. The inside of Rock Island Coffee is uniquely decorated and has a beachy vibe.

Brew - Brew was my favorite coffee joint while in Bermuda. I loved there lattes and croissant egg sandwiches. Brew is located on Front Street in Hamilton, so it's an easy stop when hopping off the ferry.

Restaurants In bermuda

Pearl - Pearl is an amazing sushi joint on Front Street in Hamilton. Serving traditional Japanese sushi and stunning views of the water, Pearl is a great place for dinner.

Woody's - Woody's is a local spot were you will find Bermudians enjoying fish sandwiches and engaging in lively conversation. It is a perfect spot for anyone who wants to meet locals or try the famous Bermudian fish sandwich.

Intrepid - Intrepid offers fine dining and beautiful views of the water. This seafood restaurant is located at the Hamilton Princess.

8 Tips To Know Before Visiting Bermuda

Bermuda is a beautiful little island in the middle of the North Atlantic ocean and is famed for its amazing beaches.

On a trip to New York a little while back, Lloyd and I decided to pop over to Bermuda to check out the island and all the things to do .

Long story short; it was absolutely fantastic!

It’s an amazing island and one that I definitely recommend visiting. We had a great time (and quite a few Rum Swizzles) and it’s safe to say we’d happily go back to visit without hesitation.

Now, while much of what we found on the island was I guess what you’d expect from a beautiful island like Bermuda (stunning beaches, amazing scenery, fun nightlife; you know, the usual stuff). Though, some parts came as a fair bit of a surprise.

To save you from any surprises, here are some of the key things you need to know before visiting Bermuda.

1.) Bermuda can be expensive

And no, I’m not talking about ‘going out for a fancy meal in London’ style expensive. We’re talking going out for dinner and drinks for two and coming back home with a £400 bill.

Even a single apple in the grocery store is like £1.50 apple so a pack of 8 came in at $12. My friend, an expat on the island, said most visitors and expats (like herself) don’t even bother cooking at home; it’s as expensive to cook at home as it to eat out.

So, you know, get your wallet-prepared.

Read more: Best things to do in Bermuda

2.) Look out for stinging jellyfish

More specifically, the Portuguese man o’war. (which, apparently, despite appearances aren’t actually jellyfish but are instead  siphonophore  – thanks Wikipedia). 

These jellyfish are painful, dangerous and for the most part hard to see when you’re in the water.

Before you go into the water, it’s worth looking out for (or even just asking about) warnings for a high incidence of the Portuguese man o’war.

3.) You can’t rent cars

So, you know, you should probably get to work on getting that motorbike license before you visit.

4.) Bermuda is not in the Caribbean

Okay, technically, it’s classified as being a part of the Caribbean but it’s kinda not, too. 

Not that it makes much of a difference to you actually enjoying the island; lots of aspects of this island are reminiscent of being in the Caribbean.

Where it does make a difference is how you get to the island. See Bermuda is actually in the North Atlantic ocean, which leads me to my next point.

5.) Bermuda is easy to visit 

We flew in from New York (2.5 hours or thereabout) and flew back to Boston (2 hrs 10 mins) so there’s absolutely no need for you to head south to Miami when you’re looking to travel to Bermuda.

Plus, you can get direct flights from the UK, too. 

6.) There’s a huge expat population in Bermuda 

I say ‘huge’ but that’s only relatively speaking of course. Due to the fact that Bermuda is a tax haven lots of financial services firms have offices here which means lots of expats get posted to the island.

This ofcourse comes with high salaries needed to sustain the unavoidably expensive lifestyle on the island.

The mix of expats does bring some diversity to the island so you do get to hang out with quite an international crowd here.

7.) Don’t drink the tap water

Not unless you fancy a side of diarrhoea with your vacation.

The tap is usually rainwater collected from the roof so always ask the hotel or place you’re staying for clean drinking water.

8.) Bermuda is known for its beaches

So when you head out to a beach on the island, be sure to pack your camera with your swimwear for some pretty epic pics. 

This is especially true if you’re snorkelling, too.

Chances are we have other guests from your ship that will be impacted as well – the departure time of the tour will be postponed until your ship debarks.

What if we are late for the tour?

We make every effort to wait for guests but in respect for the guest who made it on time, the most we can give is 15 mins grace.

Do you offer multi-day tours?

Of Course! There are many ways to tailor your Bermudaful experiences during your stay. Please reach out to discuss the options.

I'm not surprised that there are few published reviews about BERMUDAIR. They've only been flying since late-August, 2023 to/from three east coast airports to a single destination. In airline industry terms, BermudAir is '..Snoopy flying passengers in his Sopwith Camel..'. It usually takes a while for user comments to percolate down.

The only negative reports that I've seen so far was very early on, when BermudAir was still tinkering with its passenger cabin seating arrangements. Most recently a report about poor passenger services arrangements at Westchester Aiirport (HPN). But that report was about the airport itself; not BermudAir

".. Plain to see that Westchester County’s not up to it.."--(Royal Gazette--Jan.06, 2023)

https://www.royalgazette.com/letters-to-the-editor/opinion/article/20240106/plain-to-see-that-westchester-countys-not-up-to-it/

But.....give BermudAir some time. It's an '.. airline ..' (a notroriousl egregious segment of the customer service industry). It takes time for passengers to HATE 'em.

Having flown into/out of JFK and LGA several times over the years, (it used to be said that to find the end of a check-in line at JFK, ya' had to drive to Massapequa to start .I can well understand why the far less trafficked HPN would have its appeal.

***...now also flying cargo...***

I was concerned we’d get caught flatfooted if they went belly up and left with no options, so we’ll stick with JetBlue.

Good luck moving forward.

That is not an UN-common practice in the airline industry. Airfares are assigned by '..class..', with so many seats available in each 'class', The lowest prices 'class' seats usually sell-out first, leaving only remaing highr priced 'class' seats available. Of course, with airline industry Revenue Enhancement and Yield Management programs, the numbers of seats in each class may vary from time to time, depending on the proximity to the actual travel date.
