Bermuda is a group of 180 coral islands and islets which form a unique island connected by bridges, and share the same history and government. It was named after the Spanish sailor Juan de Bermúdez, who discovered it. But it was in 1609 when the British settlers arrived, giving origin to its present population, and that is the reason why Bermuda is still a British colony.
Bermuda offers some of the best beaches in the world: of white and pink coral, with a series of 30 small bays protected by rocky cliffs and palm woods.
Bermuda offers a wide range of different places to stay, and luxurious 5-star hotels are always available.
Sightseeing in the spectacular colonial city means encountering the typical Caribbean scenery: pastel coloured houses framed by green gardens and golf courses that abound on the island. In Saint George you can also find a dozen forts which date back to 1615, and which have been declared historical patrimony by the United Nations.
Walking around the Botanical Gardens, with more than 15 hectares of native flora is a favourite with tourists, as well as visiting "Aquiles´s Bay" or the natural pools in the Crystal Caves.
There are regular flights to the island from the most important airports all over the world. Or you can travel on board a private yacht from Hamilton or Saint George.
The tourist season is from April to October, the ideal months to practise water sports, since from November to May many boating and diving services are not available. Nevertheless, in the low season the weather is still warm and the prices are 40% lower...a good opportunity to visit one of the best beaches in the world on a low budget.
