Perched on Tucker’s Point with sweeping ocean views, this sophisticated resort offers the kind of refined luxury that you’d expect from a Rosewood Hotel. Tucker’s Point has all the amenities that you’d expect of an five-star luxury island resort including a beach club and a championship golf course, and multiple pools. The spa is perfect for couples’ treatments, and the restaurants serve everything from fresh catch of the day to creative international fare. Keep an eye on the programming as there are often fun seasonal events, including pub quizzes and live music at the beach club restaurant. 

A must-visit stop in Hamilton, The Island Shop is the home of original Bermuda-inspired art and design by local artist Barbara Finsness. Bright, hand-painted ceramics, linens, pillows and accessories echo the island’s cottages, flora and sea life, making them perfect gifts or keepsakes. 

This spectacular circular building sits right on the waterfront of Hamilton Princess Hotel, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the harbour. Inside or out, the bubblegum-pink setting delivers – and so does the food.
