1. TRAVELLING HERE IS EASY
Did you know it is faster to fly to Bermuda than it is to drive from NYC to The Hamptons? But with plenty of flights from East Coast gateways and the U.K., your girlfriends don't have to live close together to meet here. It takes only 2-3 hours to arrive in Bermuda from cities like New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Atlanta, Toronto, and 7 hours from London. Start your travel planning here and check out which flights are best for you and your friends.
2. GENUINE HOSPITALITY AND FRIENDLY PEOPLE
Practice your 'Good Morning' and 'Good Afternoon' because greetings will be a regular occurrence. No matter where you go, you’ll be surrounded by welcoming people and smiling faces. Bermudians have a reputation for being friendly, proper, and laid back. Also, with its British heritage, everyone speaks English making things it easy to travel around and speak to the locals. Don't be afraid to ask directions, or even for a hidden gem from just about anyone in the street.
3. COLOURFUL CULTURES PAIRED WITH UNIQUE CULINARY TRADITIONS
You can relax on the pink sand beaches, but you can also get lost in a culture that is totally unique. Thanks to a unique blend of Caribbean, British, and African American roots, Bermuda offers a world of experiences to all who visit. From colourful festivals to fun street markets and historic forts and towns, you’ll leave with long-lasting memories. Bermudian cuisine has a unique blend of flavours that you won't find anywhere else. Some dishes you just have to try to understand how the flavours work together, but trust us, you don't want to miss traditional dishes like the fish chowder, fish sandwich and codfish and potatoes (do you see a theme here?). If you're looking for a touch of class, don't forget to try a British high tea.
4. 21-SQAURE MILES OF PURE ADVENTURE
Nothing brings friends closer together than a good adventure! With beautiful scenery at every turn, and nowhere deemed off-limits, there is no shortage of places to explore. Gather up your crew for a hike along nature trails, sandy beach paths, or the railway trail; an 18-mile path that takes in forts, coastal scenery, great nature and food stops too. For water-based fun, there are kayaks, jet skis, stand-up paddleboards, sailing, and incredible snorkelling and diving amongst the coral reefs. If you’d prefer a bit of friendly competition, play tennis, pickleball or a round of golf on Bermuda’s world-class courses. For the extra brave, there’s the local tradition of cliff jumping - find a good spot to take the plunge!
5. RELAX AND UNWIND
Life catches up to us quickly, but with the right getaway, you can look after your mind and body while connecting with your girlfriends. For total body relaxation, book into one of the many spas. You can spend a day getting pampered and relaxing in the sun. Or perhaps you would prefer to organise a private yoga class at a unique island location to find space in your mind and movement in the body.
You can also relax while listening to the soothing sounds of gentle waves breaking while sipping on a sweet Bermuda cocktail. There is nothing quite like catching up with friends with your toes in the sand.
