ISLANDS OF BERMUDA WALK

Our new independent walking holiday explores the quintessential island paradise of Bermuda – a sub-tropical gem, seemingly adrift in the North Atlantic Ocean. Warmed by the temperate Gulf Stream, Bermuda is a stunning archipelago of 180 islands and islets, the eight largest of which form the fishhook-shaped mainland. The oldest British colony, this tiny treasure trove is packed with history and natural beauty.

Famed for its stunning turquoise waters in a whole rainbow of blues, incredible pink sands and coral reefs home to hundreds of colourful fish, Bermuda is a beach lover’s heaven. But beyond the postcard perfect bays, the islands offer a lush interior alive with hundreds of birds and flowers, making it perfect to explore on foot.

A traffic-free trail spans Bermuda’s diminutive 21-mile length; we’ve split it into six diverse sections to offer gentle walks exploring every corner. From hidden sea grottoes to crumbling 17C forts, lush flower-speckled fields to the sun-kissed sands of the South Shore Trail; the kaleidoscope of colour is unforgettable and the diversity of flora and fauna unbeatable. To help you get around, a 7-day travel pass is included, allowing unlimited access to the modern and efficient bus and ferry network. Our local partner, Tim Rogers, will brief you about how everything works; he has a wealth of knowledge about Bermuda’s flora, fauna and history.

Where you stay

We’ve chosen a special place to stay too; the Coco Reef Hotel, a luxurious 64-room hotel right on the edge of the best private beach on the island. All en-suite (bath and shower) rooms have direct dial telephone, fridge, satellite television, safe, coffee making machine, iron and hairdryer – and all have private balconies with outdoor furniture. Beach-front rooms and suites available at a supplement and on request.

Dining here is a real treat with 3-course menus offering a fusion of Bermudian, Asian and American influences including some superb seafood specialities. In a recent article in luxury magazine, Conde Naste Traveller, chef John Pritchard was quoted as “undoubtedly serving some of the best food in Bermuda”. Meals are either taken in the elegant restaurant or on the recently restored Tamara’s Terrace overlooking the pool and with spectacular views of the famous South Shore.

Please note that this hotel is a change from the 'Horizons & Cottages Hotel' featured in our Worldwide 2008 brochure, due to a change of ownership and subsequent refurbishment.
