If you haven’t been on a life-changing island adventure, it's time to visit Bermuda, the British Island Territory with Caribbean, West African, and Portuguese Heritage in the northern Atlantic that's like no other place on earth. It's got pink-sand beaches, crystal blue waters, and over-the-top hospitality—aka all the ingredients for a spectacular getaway. And you don’t need to settle for anything less.

You may know the island is famous for its fish sandwiches (which you should definitely try), but its refined food is plentiful. At Intrepid Steak, Seafood & Raw Bar, in the exquisite Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, every dish—such as herb-crusted sea bass and a 14-ounce rack of lamb—is served alongside sweeping Hamilton Harbour views and stylish floor-to-ceiling Art Deco décor. Since you're indulging in the best Bermuda has to offer, you’ll want to treat yourself with a seafood-tower starter, the freshest way to sample the island’s bounty. Even more exciting: the 36-ounce naturally raised Niman Ranch prime porterhouse steak—dry aged over 35 days.

Now, sure, as in any luxury destination, in addition to incredible food and cocktail culture, are also elevated accommodations. It's just that Bermuda offers that something extra. Take Hawkins Island, for example, an off-the-grid private island within Paradise Lakes that couldn’t feel any more exclusive. After arriving by private charter—and doing a loop of the Great Sound—you'll have the entire 25-acre island to yourself, complete with two homes that sleep a total of 16 guests, your own personal catering team, and more.
