Your flight to Bermuda takes you to the UK’s subtropical tax haven founded by shipwrecked English colonists in 1609. Bermuda measures just 21 square miles making the island a great destination for a relaxing holiday in the sun.
Explore Bermuda’s marine history at the Bermuda Maritime Museum and swim with Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Enjoy 100 native species of fish at the Bermuda Aquarium Museum. Indulge your senses with a visit to the Bermuda Perfumery in the gardens of Stewart Hall.
Swap the hubbub of Hamilton (Bermuda’s capital) for Bermuda’s rich coral reef. Explore it with a snorkel, or on a glass-bottomed boat. Mix with the locals on Horseshoe Bay and join them for some Thursday night action at the stylish Coconut Rock and Blue Juice terrace in Hamilton Harbour.
Bermudans are seriously keen on their onions (it’s the national vegetable), Swizzles (Bermuda rum cocktails), Hoppin’ John (black-eyed peas and rice) and guinea chicks (that’s spiny lobster to you). With more than 150 restaurants, tuck in to hearty conch stew at a roadside café or splash out on European haute cuisine at Breakers, where you dine pool-side with Atlantic views.< |
