Officially named "The Somers
Isles", this country is best known as a
destination for Bermuda
honeymoons.
Bermuda, as we know it, is an
island that is located northeast of
Miami,
Florida. A
British settlement, it is the most
densely inhabited and oldest of all the
British territories. The capital
city is Hamilton and has about
67,000
inhabitants.
Although we often
think of it as a single place there are actually 138
islands that belong to Bermuda. It has a unique climate
where it may sometimes be warmer during the winter and
cooler during the summer. However despite this rather
strange sub tropical weather, the island still
draws in a lot of tourists.
Couples looking for a
great Bermuda honeymoon experience can look forward to
loads of sightseeing and attractions on the islands.
This is arguably one of the top caribbean honeymoon
destinations.
First thing you should
do is go to the beaches. You will be surprised to find
that the sands on the beach here have a pink tint and the
waters are a bright blue-green color.
Aside from
this, the island also has a world heritage site
in the form of the Historic St. George’s. This
is among the many great attractions in
Bermuda.
Here you will also
find many different shipwrecks and coral reefs that the
Caribbean is so well known for. There's little
wonder why snorkeling and scuba diving are such
popular activities given these marvelous underwater
views. To continue your up-close with nature, also be
sure to see the caves, zoos, botanical gardens
and underground saltwater pools. These
are popular things to see.
In
terms of arts, tourists and couples on a
honeymoon can observe the dances and
listen to music which is something very
important in the culture and a great
experience to have.
Two
main types of music are often heard
throughout between the palm trees.
Calypso music was brought about through
the influence of West Indians while
Reggae was an influence form Jamaican
immigrants.
These
are the main genres and are both widely
embraced in the daily lives of the
people.
Dances on the other
hand were taken from Native American and African Slaves.
The most popular traditional dance is known as
Gombey.
Throughout the islands
you will also find a lot of places to dine and stay.
Especially on the south end.
This is where most
hotels and restaurants are located along the beach.
Seafood are of course abounding given the location. Aside
from this you can also enjoy European, Asian and Bahamas
cuisine. Pubs and bars can also give you a relaxing
experience if you want to have a drink or two
or just simply unwind and enjoy
yourself.
Besides the strong
flow of tourism and culture you can also expect to find a
flourishing economy here. It is another of the many off
shore tax havens in the Caribbean. There are
numerous foreign companies and its economy has been
able to develop healthy international business relations.
One of the main services that the
country provides is an international export of
financial services.
The country’s official
currency is known as the Bermudian
Dollar.
Getting there is no
chore at all, as you can find many travel agents that
offer you very cheap flights to Bermuda. Once
you are there, getting around is a breeze as you can even
consider going to a Bermuda
car rental service to get a vehicle to
tour the island.
Couples just have an
absolute blast here on this island and often just don't
want to return to their normal lives. No wonder why, as
this is also partly due to the wonderful Bermuda
beach hotels which they fall in love with.
Others opt simply to stay at a Bermuda all inclusive resort.
Regardless, everyone has a great time
here.
