Bermuda, a lovers island
Bermuda is an idyllic island with miles of secluded pink sand beaches, crystal clear turquoise waters and vibrant green cliff tops. Bermuda is the perfect place to relax and begin your new life together. Bermuda is made up of 181 islands and offers an eclectic mix of cultures. Bermuda has much to offer, visit its capital St George, a World Heritage site and the oldest English colonial town in existence, go shopping or pamper yourself with a range of 'his and hers' treatments at top spas. For the more active, Bermuda boasts an abundance of golf courses, go deep sea fishing, participate in many of the water sport options or go horseback riding along the beach.
Celebrate your love in Bermuda whilst sipping champagne in a flower-covered horse and carriage, dine and dance under the stars whilst being serenaded by a string quartet or enjoy the sounds of a Bermudian steel pan player before retiring to your Bermuda love nest.
