Opened in 2009, the 88-room Rosewood Bermuda channels country club charm, which means you’ll find plenty of period antiques and plantation-style furniture. Keep your group busy with a visit to any of the resort’s four swimming pools, the croquet lawn, or the 6,300-yard golf course, which is considered to be one of the best on the island. For a special night out don’t miss dinner at the Point, an elegant experience which includes dishes such as mouth-watering Bermudian Fish Chowder.
Forty cheerful cottages, rooms and suites, all with air-conditioning and private terraces, are spread out over the lush 26 acres of Coral Beach Club and are as charming as they are cozy.

At this 19th-century manor house on the outskirts of Hamilton, there are 32 comfortable rooms to choose from. The best way to describe this family-run property?

With a whopping 593 rooms and nine on-site restaurants, this is the largest resort in Bermuda. Throughout the property’s 100-acre campus you’ll find plenty of family-friendly activities, including a private beach club with tennis courts, a PADI-certified dive shop, and a 21,000-square-foot wellness facility. Take a stroll to nearby Horseshoe Bay Beach, which is easily the island’s most iconic slice of rosy hued paradise.
This 45-suite retreat set on eight coastal acres aimed to shake up Bermuda’s hospitality scene when it made its recent debut in April of 2017.

The figurative belle of the Bermuda ball, the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club recently underwent a $100 million dollar renovation that resulted in a new 8,200-square-foot Exhale Spa, as well as an impressive gourmet restaurant helmed by three-star chef Marcus Samuelsson. Looking for group activities? Get the gang together to sip Rum Swizzles aboard the property’s 60+ foot catamaran, which groups can rent out for a two-hour cruise around nearby Hamilton Harbour.
History fans should lay their heads at this blue-shuttered manor house which was built in 1906 and is located in the heart of Hamilton.

On property, enjoy modern amenities such as a heated indoor swimming pool and flat-screen televisions.
There are two key reasons Elbow Beach is a natural choice for groups. First and foremost, it boasts the longest pink-sand beach of any hotel in Bermuda. Second, there’s an impressive 900 square foot event space (hello destination wedding) that gazes out to the sparkling Atlantic Ocean. Plus, we’re giving Elbow Beach bonus points for the enormous granite soaking tub in its spa.
