Where to Stay on Bermuda
Bermuda, located in the mid-Atlantic about 650 miles west of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, has been a favorite of honeymooners, golfers, and those desiring a classy beach destination, unique in its combination of British flavor, pink beaches, and pastel cottages and buildings.
Bermuda also has one of the most diverse collections of accommodations to be found at a beach resort. You can stay at an oceanfront cottage, an in-town hotel, a guest house or bed & breakfast, or a traditional resort. Below are just some of the many places to stay in Bermuda.
Resort Hotels
Resort hotels are ideal for those wanting a wide range of facilities and services. They are also well-suited for business and pleasure groups. Most have multiple restaurants, meeting facilities, and 24-hour room service and front desk personnel, among other amenities.
- Elbow Beach Resort
- Grotto Bay Resort
- Fairmount Southampton
Cottage Colonies
Cottage Colonies are somewhat unique to Bermuda. Many of these seaside accommodations are family-owned and operated and offer seclusion and privacy without sacrificing luxury. Services and facilities are generally more limited here than at the bigger resort hotels. Cottage colonies are an ideal choice for honeymooners.
- Pink Beach Club
- Rosemont
- The Reefs
Bed & Breakfasts and Guest Houses
Guest houses and bed and breakfast inns are generally (though not always) a more affordable option. They also allow visitors a glimpse at true Bermudian life. Most are privately-owned and often the family is the ones to greet you, serve you breakfast, and make up your room.
- Greene's Guesthouse
- Oxford House
Hotels in Hamilton
Hamilton, the capital of Bermuda, is the island nation's hub of commerce, shopping, and nightlife. Stay here if you enjoy being in the center of the action and steps away from shops, restaurants, and night clubs.
- Rosedon
- Waterloo House
- Fairmont Hamilton Princess
Visiting Bermuda
Bermuda is easily accessible from the East Coast of the United States, Canada, and England, with non-stop flights from Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Toronto, and London. Visitors from the United States are required to carry a valid passport. UK and Canadian visitors are required to show proof of citizenship accompanied by a photo ID.
Visitors are not allowed to drive automobiles on Bermuda, due to the lack of parking and the island's limited space. However, visitors may rent mopeds (be careful) and the island's bus system is efficient and covers most of Bermuda.
