I’m going to start this article with the most important question: How many of you know where Bermuda is?  Some of you may not know that Bermuda is only 2 hours away from New York. Impressed? Good. Let me tell you some more. It has amazing turquoise water and pink sand beaches. Bla bla.. forget the touristy stuff!

Let’s talk about that feeling you get when you arrive there. After you land there and you feel that nice weather, even in winter, and the peace and serenity in the air, you won’t want to leave.

Bermuda has only 21 squared miles so no matter where you are, you’re still close to everything!

I did a thorough research before booking the flight and the hotel and I couldn’t have picked better. I stayed at Coco Reef Resort, a place with a place beach, a beautiful pool and a lovely terrace overlooking the pool. Everything is decorated in Bermuda’s style: classy, elegant, all golden and majestic.

Here’s a tip: The best way to get around is by scooter. It’s cheap, the distances are small and the traffic is practically inexistent. Oh and there is no Uber in Bermuda and only a few taxis .

If you do follow my advice and visit Bermuda, beside the Crystal Caves that everybody is going to tell you about, go and explore! Small beaches, Horseshoe Bay Beach, climb the rock at the Horseshoe Bay Beach, walk around Spittal Pond, St. George’s town which is a jewel! In St. George’s you’ll see a lot of bright colored houses, the Town Hall and maybe some small parades. If you’re going to Bermuda somtime between May and September, go to Hamilton on Wednesdays starting 7 pm for Harbour nights! It’s the main attraction, a celebration on Front street with food, concerts, parades, local craftsmen and artisans , cultural expositions.
