Bermuda

Adrift in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Bermuda Islands are renowned for their sugary pink sands and dazzling turquoise waters in a whole rainbow of blues. Discovered by Christopher Columbus on his way to the New World, this stunning archipelago of 180 islands and islets, just 21 miles long, is home to a wonderful mix of hidden sea grottoes, crumbling C17 forts, lush flower-filled fields and, of course, a fantastic array of postcard-pretty beaches. With the surrounding seas warmed by the temperate Gulf Stream, the waters are home to a magical array of coral reefs and hundreds of colourful fish - you may even spot humpbacked whales basking offshore.

Walking on The Bermuda Islands

A fabulous year-round climate and lots of traffic-free trails mean the Bermuda Islands are perfect for gentle exploring on foot. All across the islands you'll find a wonderful mix of cultures as Britain's colonial heritage merges with African, Caribbean and Native American roots. You'll discover brightly coloured houses with vivid white stepped roofs which create a patchwork of pastel throughout the islands, red phone boxes baking in the sub-tropical sunshine, and businessmen wearing their smart suits with Bermuda shorts!
