A curated list of where to stay, eat, shop, and explore—especially if it’s your first time (or if you’re ready to see it all).
Just a 2-hour flight from most major East Coast cities, Bermuda is a dreamy escape filled with pink sand beaches, British charm, turquoise coves, and more elevated island energy than you might expect. We recently spent 6 nights split between two incredible resorts, and I’ve rounded up all my favorite places—plus the ones I’ll be visiting next time.
✈️ Getting There
-
Direct flights from NYC, Boston, Philly, Charlotte, D.C., and Atlanta make Bermuda an easy weekend or weeklong getaway.
-
The airport is only 5–20 minutes from many resorts—meaning you’re checked in and beachside in no time.
🏨 Where to Stay
🌊 Rosewood Bermuda
Elegant, secluded, and perched above the ocean. The adults-only pool, private beach club, spa, and golf course make this one of the most luxe stays on the island. It also has water sports, complimentary yoga, tennis, and soon pickleball. The kids club is likely to re-open in 2026.
Eat at: Island Brasserie for breakfast, Sul Verde for dinner, and the Beach Club for casual fish tacos + rosé lunches.
🌸 The Loren at Pink Beach
Boutique and modern, with breathtaking views from every room. Great for couples, girls’ trips, or anyone who appreciates great design. Smaller and more intimate, with sweeping beach views from a cliffside perch.
Don’t miss: Sunset drinks or rosé all day at The Pink Beach Club.
