1. Those Beaches

Miles of coastline, pink sands and crystal-blue waters – Bermuda's beaches are the stuff of legend. Head to secluded ones like Jobson's Cove, with its dramatic cliffs and swimming hole, or popular, busy stretches such as the famous, photogenic Horseshoe Bay.

2. It's Just Two Hours Away

You read it right – paradise is about a two-hour flight from most major U.S. East Coast airports.

3. Serious Instagram Envy

Pretty much anywhere you point your camera or smartphone will have co-workers crying in their cubes. See where to get some of the most breathtaking views.

4. No Traffic Jams

While everyone else is breathing exhaust fumes on the turnpike, you’ll be here.

5. Bonfires on the Beach 

Kick off your shoes and dance by a roaring fire on a stunning beach. From Snorkel Park to Tobacco Bay, enjoy a sheltered retreat with towering rock formations, clear, shallow waters and a fascinating history. 

6. Cocktail Cruises 

Who needs a crowded, noisy bar when you can sip Rum Swizzles and Champagne on the water? Try the popular trips on the luxe Über Vida, the luxurious Zara or one of Sail Bermuda’s private yachts.

7. Wear Sunglasses at Happy Hour

Bermuda's happy hours are a little brighter than cocktail time in other destinations, so don’t forget your shades. 

8. Spectacular Sunsets 

When the orange sun dips into the blue ocean here, you may just witness one of the greatest sunsets of your life.

9. Adventures on the Water

There are many exhilarating ways to get on the water in Bermuda. Think jet skiing, paddleboarding, scuba diving, kayaking, snorkelling and cliff jumping.
