There’s No Place Like Bermuda

The island of Bermuda is a place of beauty, mystery, and at least a few common misconceptions. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not in the Caribbean but in the North Atlantic, about 700 nautical miles from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Bermuda is a safe island with modern infrastructure that supports a thriving international business community. It’s steeped in history and world culture, and its unique architecture blends artistry with sustainable design.

Bermuda is an archipelago made up of seven main islands and 170 islets and rocks. The island nation is the world’s oldest British Overseas Territory, and its small population of 65,000 is English speaking. With its close proximity to the US, American influences are strong – for example, the US dollar is accepted island-wide. Get more travel tips before you escape to paradise.

One Small Island. Three Distinct Sides.

A blend of cultures, neighborhoods, and natural wonders pack Bermuda's deceptively small 21 square miles with incredible things to see, do, and discover. From azure ocean waves to the swirl of a Rum Swizzle to Gombey dancers swaying and jumping in time, the island flows with rhythms that stir the senses and flavours that feed the soul. Explore top experiences and get to know Bermuda’s three regions.

The West End houses the historic Dockyard, a hub for dining, shopping, and entertainment, plus the island’s iconic South Shore beaches, with famous pink sand and picturesque ocean coves.

Hamilton, Bermuda’s capital, is the cosmopolitan heart of the island. Find elevated dining, chic shopping, and fun-loving nightlife surrounded by pastel buildings and harbour views.

Anchored by the Town of St. George, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with historic attractions, vibrant art, and must-try restaurants, the East End is also home to pristine parks and beaches.

Bermudian Culture & Lifestyle

Everybody who visits Bermuda leaves with a "Bermuda story". Bermudians absolutely love a warm welcome, and they'll go out of their way to help you feel at home. You'll hear "Good morning!" from everyone you meet. You’ll hear the beep beep of a car horn saying “hello.” It’s part of the Bermudian way – a warm and friendly spirit blended with deep island pride.

Bright colours, rhythmic drums, bold flavours: it’s a swirl of these traditions that makes up Bermuda’s distinctive culture and Black heritage, with 60% of locals’ ancestry traced from the West Indies and West Africa. Listen to local stories, support Black-owned businesses, and soak up Bermuda’s one-of-a-kind culture. 

World-class sailing events bring people from all over the world to our waters, while the Bermuda Carnival, Harbour Nights, and the annual Cup Match in cricket keep the party going on land. All year long we find countless ways to celebrate Bermudian customs, cuisine, and culture.

From playing a key part in US independence during the Gunpowder Plot to today's role as one of the most important business and reinsurance centres in the world, Bermuda has always impacted global events far beyond our borders.

Sip piping-hot fish chowder infused with black rum and sherry peppers. Start the day with Johnny Bread served alongside a traditional codfish breakfast. Fish sandwich served on raisin bread? Just trust us. Our Island cuisine is globally influenced with a flavour that’s distinctly Bermudian. Try it and see!
