Bermuda is one of the easiest island getaways from NYC—just a 2-hour flight—but is it actually worth it? After a long weekend of beaches, food tours, and a few travel mishaps, here’s my honest take.
At A Glance
- 📍 Location: Bermuda
- ✈️ Flight Time from NYC: ~2 hours
- 📅 Trip Length: 4 days / 3 nights
- 💰 Cost Level: $$$
- 🚗 Getting Around: Taxi + Hitch app
- 🏨 Where We Stayed: Coco Reef Resort (not recommended)
- ⭐ Highlights: Food tour, Crystal Caves, St. George’s
- ⚠️ Watch Out For: Expensive taxis, inconsistent hotel quality
Bermuda! There was a solid British (kind of Irish) theme) present throughout the island due to it being a British outpost for years. This was pretty interesting.
My husband and I spent a long weekend in Bermuda last Labor Day weekend. It was our first visit and the simple reason – it is only 2 hours from the NYC area and there was a relatively reasonably priced flight that fit our schedule. We had a very nice time, but we have certainly been to nicer islands (in our opinion). I think I need to go back (and we will, I have my eye on the St. Regis!) for longer and stay elsewhere for a different experience on the island. This post details what we ate, where we stayed, and what we did during our weekend getaway to Bermuda so that you can recreate our trip on your own!
Bermuda is very pretty.
