Bermuda offers a truly tropical island stay with gorgeous accommodation, ranging from chic beachside hotels to pretty pastel-painted mansions. Our pick of the best places to stay varies from romantic, manor-style properties in the centre of Hamilton, to all-inclusive hotels in Tucker's Town, to beautiful beach hotels and resorts with more facilities than you can imagine.

A string of around 138 islands and islets arranged in a hook-shape, Bermuda is just 20 miles long and two across, but its genteel history as a British Overseas Territory, combined with its proximity to the US and the legacy of many of its African, Portuguese and West Indian residents, means it is culturally very rich and extremely diverse. You can taste it in the cuisine, which fuses local specialities like shark hash and mussel pie with Portuguese-style fish and tomatoes, and classic British sponge cakes.

Famous for its world class diving and fishing, and idyllic beaches, it's not surprising that our picks of the best places to stay in Bermuda include many with direct beach access and stunning ocean views. Use our guide and start to plan your trip in this magical location.

The Best Places to Stay in Bermuda

Bermuda’s Best Beach Resorts

• The Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa is an exclusive resort offering a range of accommodation styles, from rooms to private cottages and villas. Many boast a private pool and fantastic ocean views, plus the resort has four private beaches so you can be guaranteed a little slice of heaven!
• Rosewood Bermuda is large and sprawling, and its 92 rooms share around 240 acres of Bermuda’s coastline, meaning it never feels too busy. There’s a big private beach and beach club, a golf course, tennis courts, a diving school and all sorts of other facilities — including extensive options for families.

For Romance

• The Reefs Resort & Club at Southampton, on Bermuda’s exclusive South Shore, is simple and elegant. Romantics will love the wonderful sunset views from its multiple comfortably furnished patios, the sleek spa and oceanfront restaurant.
• Romance is definitely in the air at Royal Palms, a boutique gem on a scenic, tree-lined lane in downtown Hamilton. Rooms painted in Bermuda pink, Renaissance-style statues, and a formal English courtyard create the perfect intimate retreat.

For a Beachfront Hotel

• The Loren at Pink Beach, with just 45 rooms and suites, sits above a Tucker’s Town beach that really is pinkish! There are wonderful views from the suites, plus boutique furnishings, or if you need more space, there’s a three-room villa with a private pool. The hotel restaurant is fine dining.
• Boasting two private beaches, Willowbank Resort is a super-secluded retreat offering stunning clifftop panoramas from spacious seaside cottages. It's a delightful oasis offering colour, picturesque views, and seaside charm.

For a Luxury Hotel

• If you’re looking for a small, boutique-style luxury hotel then the 40-room Rosedon Hotel is a good option. It occupies a 1906-built manor house with classic, elegant interiors. It's close to the centre of Hamilton, yet with its mature, tropical gardens, feels very private and secluded.
• The Hamilton Princess Hotel & Beach Club is a luxurious, harbour-side hotel in Hamilton, offering the ocean views you might want from Bermuda, but with a city feel too. There are around 400 rooms, plus lots of spoiling extras including a spa, and the hotel’s stylish restaurant.
• You'll find a wonderful blend of Bermuda's heritage and sleek sophistication inside the stylish The St Regis Bermuda Resort. It's a haven of oceanfront luxury in the historic town of St. George, just steps from St. Catherine’s Beach. 
• An Asian-inspired spa, an infinity pool, and tennis courts are just some of the great amenities at Newstead Belmont Hills Golf Resort. Four fantastic restaurants, spacious and stylish rooms, plus wonderful waterfront views make this one of Bermuda’s premier luxury resorts.

For Families

• The Elbow Beach Resort is a luxurious seafront resort on Elbow Beach, offering a range of accommodation from homely rooms to family-sized cottages. There are three restaurants and a kids club, and even though this is a great place for families, it’s also quite romantic.

For Great Value

• The Greenbank Guesthouse & Cottages are on the Salt Kettle Peninsula, close to a handful of great beaches. The property itself is historic, with great ocean views — especially if you book a waterside cottage, which will come with a furnished, seafront terrace. It is simple and comfortable, and compared to many of the other accommodation options here, it represents great value for money.
• For a reasonably-priced, welcoming stay, you won't find much better than the family-owned Pompano Beach Club. Overlooking Bermuda’s tranquil waters, there's a relaxed bistro-style restaurant and a host of on-site facilities to keep everyone entertained.

Travel Information

• Fly to Bermuda International Airport. Alternatively you can arrive by cruise ship or yacht.
• If you’re thinking about hiring a car, think again! Non-residents are not allowed to drive in Bermuda; the best you can do is hire a scooter. We recommend checking what our online partners, Rentalcars have to offer.
• Just across ‘the way’ — or the North Atlantic — from northeast Florida and Charleston, Bermuda has the same hot summers but its winters are even warmer due to the Gulf Stream. For most of the year, the winds here will do you a favour, cooling down the heat and humidity of a summer afternoon. The hurricane season comes between June and November, with the greatest risk between August and October.
