5 Best Hotels & Resorts in Bermuda: 2019 Readers' Choice Awards | Condé Nast Traveler

"It’s takes about 50 minutes to reach Fairmont Southampton from Bermuda 's L.F. Wade International Airport, but who cares? The drive hugs the turquoise coastline for most of the ride, and you can snap photos of shimmering Horseshoe Bay , the island’s finest slice of pink sand , directly next to this mammoth hotel. The stately entryway, flanked by lush bougainvillea and tropical hibiscus, couldn’t possibly be more inviting, and the white-jacketed gents who are there to open the car doors seem happy that you’ve arrived. Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse is a short walk away—you can climb a cast-iron tower for a stunning 360-degree panorama—as is Church Bay, a well-protected cove that’s home to some of Bermuda’s best snorkeling. If you’re searching for a full-service property with all the amenities you’d expect of the island’s largest hotel, you can’t do much better than this spot in Southampton." - CNT Editors
