Sitting in central Bermuda, Mt Pleasant is an ideal place from which to explore each end of the island. The town itself boasts some of Bermuda’s top shopping and dining, as well as its most famous sunshine spot – Elbow Beach.

The steeper accommodation prices on St George’s Island are compensated by a high concentration of culture, history, and beaches. As this is where the British first settled, the island is sprinkled with historic landmarks and oozes a quaint Anglican charm.

Meanwhile, the capital of Hamilton offers more of a New England seaside style and a more affordable price range. While the colonial city awaits with all the bars, shops, and restaurants you could ask for, nature-rich Hamilton Parish awaits with walking trails, beaches, caves, and a lagoon.

And for the best beaches? Stay in Southampton where the island’s top-rated beaches like Horseshoe Bay, Middle Beach, and Angle Beach are located. The area also hugs Little Sound, which is one of the best places to snorkel and dive in Bermuda.

Bermuda is a very small island, but while the neighbourhoods themselves are very walkable, the best way to see the entire island is by hiring a car or jumping on the ferries that sail from one town to another,
