The "Jewel of the Atlantic," Bermuda
Good things come in small packages, and Bermuda is no exception. Our island feels like it’s been edited down to the best Paradise has to offer. From the pink sand beaches to the gorgeous limestone cliffs, and you’ll be able to tour every inch.
Bermuda's impeccable location keeps our island warmed by the Gulf Stream and the sun's rays, but free of the tropics' relentless heat. There’s no rainy season to speak of and hurricanes are rare. Our opinion? It is absolutely perfect.
Culturally, our resort island is a unique blend of colonial history and African heritage. We invite you to come and learn more about this richness that surrounds you in Paradise.
Ours is a rich history, beginning when a Spanish sea captain named when Juan Bermúdez spotted our then-uninhabited islands in 1505. The British arrived a century later and the rest is, of course, history.
Steeped in history, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is the oldest continuously occupied town of English origin in the New World. Picturesque cottages, quaint lanes and alleyways, forts, Bermuda architecture, there is so much to love about this Town.
Set along side its beautiful natural harbour, the City of Hamilton has been the capital of Bermuda since 1815. It is a thriving centre of international and local business, adorned with historic buildings, churches, museums, galleries, parks and gardens.
Over 150 years of service as the bastion of Royal Naval might in the Western Atlantic and a participant in the American War of Independence, this historical marvel is an essential destination while in Bermuda. Boatslips, workshops, museums, galleries, shops and much more await all.
Bermuda is officially a British overseas territory, but we enjoy a high degree of self-rule. Learn the basics of our government before you arrive and then come to the island and see it in action for yourself.
The air, the land and the waters of Bermuda are teeming with beauty year-round. Come hear the song of the tree frogs while you take in the fragrance of a Bermudiana blossom bursting with colour. You’ll hardly believe your senses.
The votes are in and the people have spoken! Conde Nast Traveler readers, TripAdvisor members, and Successful Meetings magazine have lauded Bermuda as a top location for vacations and meetings.
