A guide to some of the best luxury hotels and experiences in Bermuda

Where to stay in style

Bermuda’s luxury hotels each offer a different perspective on the island, so it’s worth choosing based on the kind of trip you want.

Hamilton Princess Hotel & Beach Club sits on the waterfront in Bermuda’s capital, making it a great base if you want everything within easy reach. Restaurants, galleries, and shops are all close by, alongside a lively marina. The hotel has a sociable, energetic feel, with bars and buzzing pool areas. For a more elevated evening, Intrepid Steak, Seafood & Raw Bar is the hotel’s flagship fine dining restaurant - an upscale, dinner-only venue offering a contemporary take on the classic American grill, with prime dry-aged steaks, a raw bar specialising in oysters and caviar, and panoramic harbour views.

Rosewood Bermuda is a luxury resort set above Castle Harbour, with sweeping views across the water and access to a private beach club. One of the island’s more expansive properties, it offers a full range of facilities including golf, spa facilities, tennis, and so much more. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for space, privacy, and a slower pace, with everything you need in one place, and tends to suit couples or those travelling for a special occasion.

Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa is located on a peninsula, giving it a more tucked-away feel. With several small beaches and coves around the property, it’s well-suited to couples looking for a quieter stay. Accommodation is cottage-style, and the overall pace is more relaxed, with a focus on spa time, sunsets, and low-key dining.

On the water: yachts, sails, and sunsets

Spending time on the water is a key part of any trip to Bermuda, and there are several ways to do this depending on how you want to travel.

Private yacht charters are widely available - you can plan a half-day or full-day trip, with options to stop for swimming in shallow bays, snorkel over reefs or shipwrecks, or simply cruise along the coastline. Many charters can include food and drinks on board and sunset cruises are an ever popular option, especially for couples or those celebrating a special occasion. They work well when combined with a spa afternoon or a quieter day at the hotel.

For a more hands-on experience, sailing trips with a skipper are also available. These give you the chance to learn the basics or take part in the sailing itself, with steady winds and clear waters making it perfect for a fun yet leisurely day on the shimmering waters.

Beyond the sun lounger

While the beaches are a key part of Bermuda, there’s plenty to include in your trip beyond time by the water. Golf is a strong feature of the island, with several world-famous courses offering sea views and well-maintained greens. Early morning tee times are popular, followed by relaxed lunches and time back at the hotel.

Spa experiences are widely available across higher-end properties, often with treatments inspired by local ingredients, such as sea salt or island botanicals. Private dining is another option worth considering. Some hotels can arrange beachfront dinners or more tailored dining experiences, which work well for celebrations or quieter evenings. If you’re interested in the island’s history, private guided tours can be arranged in areas such as Hamilton and St George’s. These give a more detailed look at Bermuda’s past, along with the chance to explore local shops, architecture, and food.
