Start with a sharp, citrus-bright ceviche, follow with perfectly grilled fish, and a glass of chilled sauvignon – with crashing waves setting the soundtrack. It’s relaxed, considered, and the kind of midday meal you still talk about weeks later.

The Loren's Pink Beach Club feels like Bermuda on a plate – open-air, an Atlantic breeze whipping through, and a menu that knows its seafood and local produce. Tables spill towards the water, service is slick but easy, and long lunches have a habit of drifting into sunset cocktails.

One of Bermuda’s most exclusive seaside clubs, set on a pristine stretch of pink sand along the South Shore. A calm, private retreat with direct beach access, excellent snorkelling, a beach bar and restaurant, spa facilities and championship tennis courts.

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. Intrepid has built a reputation for creative cocktails and modern American cuisine with global influences, all served in a buzzy, sophisticated atmosphere that feels special without being stuffy.

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. 

Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa rests on a peaceful 25-acre peninsula on Bermuda’s western tip, where a constellation of private beaches and coves collide with the Atlantic. The pink-hued resort looks a little like a Barbie dream house, combining century-old cottage charm with refined comfort, intimate dining and unhurried service. Days here revolve around ocean views, spa time, water sports and leisurely meals in waterfront settings.

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. 

K.S. WaterSports offers day-boat rentals that are a straight-up way to see Bermuda from the water on your own terms. Pick a self-drive pontoon or small vessel, load up a cooler and chart your own course through calm bays, past hidden coves and around pink-sand beaches – there’s no rigid itinerary, just sunshine, sea and your own pace out on the Atlantic.
