A tiny island, a global impact.

From its discovery in the early 1500s to its flourishing as a vital maritime colony, Bermuda's story is utterly captivating. It's a history as rich and compelling as our stunning landscapes and the warm, vibrant people who call this island home. Our story is one of resilience, cultural blending, and an adventurous spirit that shapes the vibrant community you’re invited to experience. You may associate Bermuda with the triangle, but once you visit, you’ll see there are plenty more than three sides to our story.

Food Culture

Start the day with Johnny Bread served alongside a traditional codfish breakfast. Fish sandwich served on raisin bread? Just trust us. Sip piping-hot fish chowder infused with black rum and sherry peppers. Our Island cuisine is globally influenced with a flavour that’s distinctly Bermudian – you have to taste it to get it.

Festivals & Holidays

Bermudians love a party, and our calendar is packed full of festivals, celebrations, and events – and  you’re invited. You’ll feel the upbeat, fun vibe in the air as soon as you arrive, no matter when you visit. But when the holidays roll around or it’s festival time, the party is next level. Get ready to have the time of your life.

Culture & Heritage

Bright, bold colours. Rhythmic drums and shrill whistles. Spicy, savoury flavours with a little hint of sweetness. It’s a swirl of traditions that make Bermuda’s distinctive culture so special, with 60% of locals’ ancestry traced from the West Indies and West Africa. Listen to local stories, support Black-owned businesses, and soak up Bermuda’s one-of-a-kind energy.

Where is Bermuda?

Sunshine, pink-sand beaches and island vibes are all within easy reach. By air, Bermuda is just 90 minutes from New York and two or three hours from major US East Coast cities like Atlanta, Boston, Miami and Philadelphia.
