Pastel Perfection in the Atlantic! Bermuda enchants with pink sand beaches, pastel-shuttered limestone cottages, the world's most hazardous golf holes built over Atlantic cliffs, a world-class wreck diving circuit, and a very British civility infused with warm Atlantic charm.
Bermuda has upscale hotels along the South Shore (The Loren at Pink Beach, Rosewood Tucker's Point, Elbow Beach). Hamilton city has boutique hotels. Cambridge Beaches is a beloved cottage colony on the west end.
Snorkel the crystal caves at Crystal Cave and Fantasy Cave beneath the island, cycle the Railway Trail across the full length of Bermuda, dive the SS Cristobal Colon Spanish cruise liner wreck, and play the par-3 Mid Ocean Golf Club holes hanging over the Atlantic — named among the world's most scenic.
The Bermuda petrel (Cahow) was thought extinct for 300 years and rediscovered in 1951 — conservation work has brought the colony from 18 to 100+ pairs. The Nonsuch Island living museum recreates Bermuda's pre-colonial ecosystem. Never disturb cahow nesting burrows.
Bermudian fish chowder (slow-cooked rockfish, black rum and sherry pepper) is the national soul-warmer. Try fish sandwiches (the national lunch) from Art Mel's or Wahoo's Bistro, fresh Bermuda lobster tails (September–March only), and cod fish and potatoes on Sunday mornings.
Bermuda Triangle Challenge (January) is a multi-day road race series popular with international athletes. Bermuda Cup Match (cricket, August Bank Holiday) is a 2-day national celebration between East and West parishes — the biggest event in Bermuda's social calendar.
Bermuda Day (May 24) kicks off the season with the only occasion when Bermudians swim at South Shore beaches (before this date it's considered too cold). The Bermuda Fitted Dinghy races in the Great Sound are a uniquely Bermudian summer tradition.
No mandatory vaccinations. Tap water is safe — collected rainwater stored in limestone tanks is Bermuda's primary supply. Healthcare at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital is excellent. Bermuda is one of the world's windiest islands — water activities require awareness of sea conditions.
Excellent 4G/LTE coverage across the island. One Communications and Digicel operate. Hotel Wi-Fi is fast and reliable. Bermuda is very digitally connected — remote working is increasingly popular here.
