As parts of the world remain off-limits to many travelers, the island of Bermuda provides inspiration and rejuvenation with stunning natural beauty, an historic UNESCO World Heritage Site, and world-class golf and tennis. Most importantly, it is open and welcoming visitors.
At press time, Bermuda was one of only four other places in the world to be assessed with “moderate” COVID-19 risk level according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It has also been awarded the World Travel & Tourism Council’s “Safe Travels” Stamp for its enhanced health and hygiene protocols.
Roughly 650 miles offthe coast of North Carolina in the Atlantic Ocean, Bermuda does not share the same characteristics of many tourist-thronged Caribbean islands. Notably, it has cooler temperatures in the fall and winter making it practical for outdoor sporting activities. With a more laid-back atmosphere, it packs plenty of sunny paradise views, pink sand beaches, and European-getaway flair.
THE LOGISTICS OF VISITING
NOW Bermuda’s international airport reopened July 1 with nonstop flights from many US East Coast cities as well as London. During travel and while at the airport, face masks are required for passengers and staff.
