Bermuda
Just a 90-minute direct flight from New York City, Bermuda feels like a faraway escape—without the long-haul travel. One moment you're in the bustle of Manhattan, and the next you're stepping onto an island with pastel painted houses, framed by pink sand beaches, and kissed by warm Atlantic breezes. British charm meets island ease here, where every day is a blend of laid-back luxury and timeless calm.
Dream
Bermuda has a distinct rhythm—slower, saltier, and somehow more refined. Here are two hotel choices, each offering its own version of island magic.
The Loren at Pink Beach – Modern and serene, perched above a pink sand beach with sweeping ocean views. The design is clean, contemporary, and luxurious without being brash.
Days began with coffee by the pool, waves below, and that unmistakable Bermuda light all around.
The Pink Beach Club provides the perfect setting for sunset cocktails and upscale oceanfront dinners.
Private Villa Rental – Enjoy the comfort of your own holiday home, complete with kitchen, spacious living areas, and a private pool—perfect for long, breezy evenings filled with laughter and good company.
Fairmont Hamilton Princess – An elegant icon overlooking Hamilton Harbour. While it's not beachfront, it offers:
A remarkable modern art collection throughout the hotel.
A lively harbor-side pool scene and multiple excellent restaurants.
Easy access to town, though you'll need to travel to hit the beaches.
Dine
Bermuda’s food scene is fresh, unfussy, and flavorful—with a little British influence and a lot of island flair.
1609 Bar & Restaurant (Fairmont Hamilton) – Upscale, harbor-facing dining. Great for sunset cocktails and seafood.
Pink Beach Club (The Loren) – Contemporary, upscale open-air dining above the beach. The kind of place you linger over dessert.
Blu Bar & Grill – Traditional style restaurant which an extensive menu and wine list, which offers something for everyone—whether it's fresh seafood or classic Italian favorites—all paired with top-notch service. Enjoy spectacular views of the golf course and Hamilton Harbour.
Swizzle Inn – A local institution near the airport. Come here for an original Rum Swizzle and casual pub fare—this is Bermuda’s oldest bar.
Local lunch in St. George – After walking through this charming historic town, you tucked into local grilled fish at a no-frills Bermudian spot —Wahoo’s—with delicious and authentically island-style.
Do
Bermuda is small, easy to navigate, and full of natural beauty. Days unfold slowly, giving you space to explore or just soak it all in.
Beach Days – Bermuda’s sand is famously soft and tinged with pink. Our favorites:
Horseshoe Bay – Iconic and sweeping, yet never feels overrun.
Elbow Beach – A little more laid-back with a local vibe.
Poolside Relaxation – Whether at the villa or The Loren, pool days were made for reading, floating, and sipping something cold under a palm tree.
Railway Trail Walk – Take a peaceful, scenic walk on the old Bermuda railway line. It winds through the city and finishes near quiet pink-sand beaches—ideal for a long morning or golden-hour stroll.
Island Tennis Legacy – Fun fact: Bermuda helped introduce tennis to the U.S. in the 1870s. Mary Ewing Outerbridge brought it from the island to Staten Island. Tennis still runs deep here, with courts available at top resorts like the Rosewood, Fairmont and the W.E.R. Joell Tennis Stadium in Hamilton.
Lili Bermuda Perfumery – A hidden gem in St. George where you can tour the atelier, learn the island’s scent history, and even create your own fragrance.
Why we’ll return.
Bermuda is effortless—polished but not pretentious. The pink sands, turquoise sea, and signature salty breeze invite you to slow down and savor the moment. Whether you're watching the sun rise from a villa balcony, enjoying a long beach day, or sipping something cold by the pool, Bermuda is the place to relax. And with direct flights from NYC in under two hours, it’s the perfect long weekend escape that feels a world away.
