Best hotels in Bermuda: ten places to stay by pink beaches and in Hamilton

Luxury on Castle Harbour

Rosewood Bermuda sits on Castle Harbour in Tucker's Town, with a golf course, a pool facing the sea and its own beach nearby. The spa is called Sense, and the hotel has several restaurants and bars.

This is our luxury pick, if you want everything in one place and excellent service. It suits couples and families alike, and golfers have the course right outside. It is far from Hamilton, so you take a taxi or ferry into town. Have lunch by the beach and swim from the pink sand.

Modern design on the south shore

The Loren lies on the south shore in the east of the island, with modern architecture, a pool above the beach and its own stretch of pink sand. The hotel is small, with a spa and a restaurant looking out over the south shore.

This is our design pick, for couples who want peace, good food and a clean, modern look. It is quiet here in the evening, and Hamilton and St. George's are a taxi ride away. Book a table at the restaurant at sunset and walk down to the beach afterwards.

On the beach near St. George's

The St. Regis sits on a beach just outside St. George's, with two outdoor pools, cabanas, a spa and a terrace facing the sea. It is one of the newest luxury hotels on the island.

It suits you if you want to combine the beach with history. You can walk or cycle into the narrow streets of St. George's, with churches, forts and old colonial houses. Visit Fort St. Catherine, and take an evening stroll along the harbour in St. George's.

Beach and caves

Grotto Bay sits on a sheltered bay near the airport, with its own beach, a pool, a beach bar and diving. The area has limestone caves, and the hotel has outdoor treatment areas and a spa.

This is our family pick, for an easy, relaxed holiday with calm water for children. Guests get free entry to a water park nearby. Visit the Crystal Caves, with underground lakes and stalactites, a few minutes away.

The pink hotel on the harbour

Hamilton Princess opened in 1885 and is the well known pink hotel on the harbour in Hamilton. It has a marina, a pool, a spa and a large collection of modern art, and guests have access to a private beach club on the south shore.

This is our pick in Hamilton, if you want to walk to restaurants and ferries and still have a pool and a beach. It suits couples and families alike. Stroll along Front Street in the evening, and take the ferry across the harbour to see the town from the water.

Small and adults only

Rosedon is a small hotel in an old Bermudian house on the edge of Hamilton, with a garden, a pool with pink parasols and a terrace. The hotel only takes adults.

It suits couples who want a personal, quiet stay within walking distance of town and the ferries. There is no beach at the hotel, so you take a bus or taxi to the south shore. Have breakfast on the veranda and walk into Hamilton afterwards.

Golf and harbour views

Newstead Belmont Hills lies in Paget on the south side of the harbour, looking across to Hamilton. The hotel has a pool, a spa, two restaurants and the Belmont Hills golf course close by.

It suits golfers and anyone who wants calm with the town just across the water. The ferry to Hamilton takes only a few minutes. The south shore beaches are a short taxi ride away, and Elbow Beach is the closest.

Right above the beach

The Reefs sits on a low cliff above its own beach in Southampton, with rooms looking out to sea, a pool, a spa and a restaurant on the beach. Horseshoe Bay is close by.

This is our beach pick, if you want the sand right below your room. It suits couples and families alike, and it is one of the best loved hotels on the island. Walk the south shore from Horseshoe Bay to Warwick Long Bay, one of the finest beach walks in Bermuda.

Views from the cliffs in Warwick

Azura sits on the cliffs in Warwick on the south shore, with a pool facing the sea, a rooftop terrace and a restaurant with ocean views. The hotel was renovated in 2024, and the mood is relaxed.

It suits you if you want to stay near the beaches at a lower price than the big resorts. Warwick Long Bay and Horseshoe Bay are a short trip away. The bus along South Road takes you into Hamilton.

A private peninsula in the west

Cambridge Beaches has its own peninsula in Sandys at the western end of the island, with several small beaches, a marina, a pool and the Ocean Spa. Guests stay in cottages spread across the peninsula.

It suits couples who want peace and water on every side. Hamilton is far away, but the ferry from Dockyard takes you into town. Visit the Royal Naval Dockyard and the National Museum of Bermuda, and snorkel from the beaches on the peninsula.
