WHY BERMUDA?
BERMUDA offers meeting and incentive planners
the perfect blend of business and pleasure in a setting
that’s unforgettable.
E
asy airlift access, award-winning accommodations
and venues, as well as its high level of personal
service, the “Jewel of the Atlantic” is an ideal
destination for meeting and incentive travel. An island
rich in culture, luxurious hotels, abundant golf, diverse
dining and its famous pink sand beaches, creates an
international business center that offers a destination
ready to meet business expectations while offering
mental revitalization.
This mid-Atlantic getaway is home to an array of
hotels, villas and resorts over 150 restaurants and a
vibrant culture ideal for dedicated group activities and
initiatives. Bermuda is incredibly convenient for groups,
just under two hours by air from key U.S. East Coast
cities.
Bermuda offers acclaimed accommodations for
every group from small gatherings to large global
forums, with the option of staying at luxury spa resorts,
business-class hotels or charming cottages. Groups can
enjoy state-of-the-art technology, satellite capabilities
and full Wi-Fi utilization. The larger resorts include
deluxe meeting spaces; HD monitors, auditoriums and,
of course, scenic ocean views.

off-site dining and catering venues including private
islands, forts, and the Bermuda National Gallery. A
broad variety of meeting and conference facilities,
from stately board rooms to a high-tech amphitheatre,
offer a first-class suite of business services.
Because meetings in Bermuda are tax deductible

functions. For a seamless commute home, U.S. Customs
are cleared on island, allowing travelers fast access to
baggage claim.

activities. For golf enthusiasts in the group, Bermuda

B
uilt in 1814 as a strategic outpost for the British
Royal Navy, Royal Naval Dockyard played roles
in many historic events, including the War of
1812 and World War II. The monumental gates of H.M.
Dockyard swung open to the public in 1951, ending
some 150 years of service as the bastion of Royal Naval
power in the Western Atlantic. Visitors to the Dockyard
today will find the sweep of history all around them.
VENUES
Beautiful, historic and expansive exterior spaces make
the Royal Naval Dockyard one of Bermuda’s most
exciting venues for outdoor events. The Northern
Promenade Lawn and Clocktower Parade Lawns
offer over 20,000 square feet of space and boasts
as a backdrop the beautifully restored Great Eastern
Storehouse building, which is commonly known as the
Clocktower Building.
The National Museum of Bermuda, incorporating the
Bermuda Maritime Museum, is located within the high
ramparts of the Keep — a six-acre fort at the Royal Naval
Dockyard. It is one of the most historically spectacular
sites on the island. Off-site meetings and events for
smaller groups give attendees a glimpse into Bermuda’s
history in places like the Hall of History, a mural that
covers 1,000 square feet, by local artist Graham Foster
who spent 3 1/2 years painting the mural.

the Queen’s Exhibit Hall is a fantastic setting for parties
up to 100. The Commissioner’s House, which stands
majestically at the most western tip of the island,
offers five dining rooms on its top floor, all displaying

historical memorabilia with mahogany furniture
throughout.
Additional reception rooms, a serving kitchen,
elevator, ample restrooms and breathtaking views
from two wrapping verandas complete this exceptional
venue for parties of up to 200 people inside and 300
on the verandas.
Royal Naval Dockyard’s proximity to water services
means guests can arrive and depart by boat.
ACTIVITIES
The Dockyard is a haven for local artists and beautiful
artistry. Groups can marvel at the craftwork at The
Bermuda Craft Market. Candles, Bermudian cedar work,
ceramics, jewelry, fabric art, painted glassware, threedimensional decoupage, needlework canvas, Christmas
ornaments and quilts are some of the wares.
At Bermuda Clayworks, local artisans and potters
use a converted warehouse to craft floral-patterned
vases, and dishes featuring dolphins, Bermuda hibiscus,
cottages, lighthouses, gardens and many other motifs.
Artists demonstrate the process of glassblowing
and flameworking at Dockyard Glassworks, where a
large variety of handmade art glass is created daily.
Glass artists as well as apprentices work as a team to
produce hot furnace glass, flameworked glass, fused
glass jewelry and glass beads.
Art abounds in Bermuda and local artists’ works
are in the spotlight at the Bermuda Arts Centre at
Dockyard. Perfect for a group day trip or for small
group gatherings, the Arts Centre also hosts workshops
in watercolor and silk screen, among others, which can
be a great team building experience.
Shoppers will delight in the historic Clocktower
Mall, one of the Island’s most innovative examples of
preserving the past, where a variety of stores await.
With its two 100-foot towers, the mall is a Dockyard
landmark.
Visitors can experience a taste of the Islands at the
Bermuda Rum Cake Company. Baked in The Cakery,
a Bermuda style cottage, the micro-bakery creates
the famous Bermuda indulgence. Tastings allowed.
Golfers in the group won’t want to miss teeing
off at the oldest course in Bermuda. Just a short
distance from Dockyard in the western end of
the island, Riddell’s Bay Golf & Country Club has
5,800 harbour-hugging yards, which are daring and
breathtaking.

7/2/14 3:37 PM
Since 2009, the PGA Grand Slam of Golf has been
held at the Port Royal Golf Course, a championship
course that has been ranked by Golf Digest as one of
the world’s best public courses. With Atlantic Ocean
views from nearly every hole, Port Royal is Bermuda’s
most picturesque course, plus it is known for its
stunning par-3 on the 16th hole. The course is open to
the elements, which makes for an exhilarating day on
the links. Planners can host a small gathering at The
Club at Port Royal.
Bermudian golfers describe Riddell’s Bay as “a real
gem” and a “must-play course.”
Winding along a peninsula, which at its widest
measures only about 600 yards, the par 70, 18-hole
course is renowned for its scenic delights and plenty of
challenges, including two ponds and three ocean holes.
OCEANSIDE
Visitors to the
Dockyard will
fi
the sweep of
history all around
them.
On Black Bay Beach, less than a five minute ride
from Dockyard Wharf, there’s a guarantee of finding
treasure as sea glass is the attraction here. This is the
place for unwinding and rejuvenating among the tiny
beach’s calm waters and natural reefs.
The group can get together for daytime or
nighttime paddle boarding tours off Black Bay to
immerse themselves in the picturesque surroundings.
But it’s the sunset that draws the most attention: Black
Bay Beach, is known as Bermuda’s No. 1 location to
watch the sun set behind beautiful turquoise waters. l
Dolphin Quest, located at the National Museum of
Bermuda, is a great place for group activities and
team building. Groups get up close where they can
touch, swim and play with friendly dolphins. Team
building abounds in Lessons from Dolphins, a seminar
for professionals that combines the psychology of
dolphin training with practical ways to improve
in business. Socially conscious companies
will embrace the program since a portion of
Dolphin encounter
the proceeds from participation in Dolphin
Quest Bermuda supports marine education,
conservation and research.
Snorkel Park Beach is another group
friendly adventure. Attendees can battle it out
in tug-of-war competitions on the beach and
Jet Ski safaris around the island, then relax and
enjoy fresh fish and specialties at The Island
Beach Party, which features an energetic show
that spotlights local entertainers.
Private group excursions on fully crewed
40-foot and 60-foot power catamarans are
a perfect way to enjoy a day on the water.
Fantasea Diving & Watersports, the only PADI
diving center in the Royal Naval Dockyard,
located at the Dockyard Watersports Centre,
also has beachside training for scuba lessons.
Groups can enjoy snorkeling, parasailing
or take a self-drive pontoon boat to explore
nearby secluded islands and beaches. There are
also eco-tours, kayaking, and glass-bottom boat
excursions. For an evening event on the water,
an unforgettable experience is the legendary
sunset rum cruises.

S
t. George’s is a “living” heritage experience
where history comes vividly to life amidst the
modern amenities and attractions of the town.
Joining an elite group of recognized world treasures,
the Historic Town of St. George is Bermuda’s UNESCO
World Heritage Site. The friendly walking city offers
an aesthetic treat. While Bermuda’s unique style of
architecture originated in St. George’s, buildings in the
town contain many features not found elsewhere on
the Island, such as high walls and gates, lateral steps
and distinct roof eaves.
VENUES
The beautiful and historic Town of St. George is a
special location for group events. Several extraordinary
venues can be rented including Somers’ Garden
and King’s Square. Somers’ Garden is a public park
maintained by the Corporation of St. George and is
reputedly the site where Admiral Sir George Somers’
heart was buried in 1610.
King’s Square has remained the focal point of the
town for hundreds of years and contains replica stocks,
a pillory, whipping post and ducking stool (once used
to punish female gossips) which are, perhaps, the
town’s most photographed features. The ringleader of

Enjoying St. George’s
The Queen’s Warehouse, built in 1860, was
renovated in 2005 to become the World Heritage
Centre (WHC), home of the St. George’s Foundation.
The forecourt has been completely remodeled, while
a new state-of-the-art lecture hall and new interactive
exhibits were completed in 2009, when the WHC
officiall o e e
he ori i al arehouse ulle s ste ,
use to lift tra e oo s to the u er oor, is still
visible inside the building.
ATTRACTIONS
Completed by Christmas of 1612, St. Peter’s Church is the
oldest Anglican church in continuous use in the western
hemisphere. Behind the south churchyard is the Old
Rectory, built in the 18th century by pirate George Dew.
The Unfinished Church is one of the must sees in St.
George’s. In 1870, settlers started building an opulent
replacement to St. Peter’s Church, but poor planning left
it unfinished. The structure still stands, fortified by the
Bermuda National Trust, with only the sky as its ceiling.
St. George’s Historical Society Museum and
Mitchell House is one of the island’s most unique
institutions, as well as one of its oldest. Built in the
1730s by a prosperous St. George’s merchant, Major
Walter Mitchell, for his nephew William, Mitchell House
has retained all of its 18th century character and charm.
Furnished much as it was when it was a private home,
the typical Bermudian structure from the early 1700s
houses artifacts and documents pertaining to our
island’s earliest days.
16 |
The house is filled with period furniture, documents,
old letters, displays of pewter, china and rare books.
Perched about 208 feet above sea level on the
eastern tip of St. David’s Island in the parish of St.
George’s, St. David’s Lighthouse has been guiding
mariners since 1879. One of the most photographed
icons on the island, the 55-foot cylindrical tower is
built of white limestone; in the middle is a broad red
stripe. The lighthouse is open to the public from May
to September, where visitors can marvel in panoramic
views of land and sea.
Another don’t miss off-site excursion is The
Bermuda Perfumery. This is the place where coveted
Lili Bermuda fragrances are carefully handcrafted, as
they have been since 1928. The Perfumery welcomes
visitors to tour its operations and to sample exclusive
perfumes.
One of the most favored off-site event venues in
St. George’s is Fort St. Catherine & Museum. History
buffs in the group will delight in dioramas that highlight
Bermuda’s early history and other audio-visual exhibits.
The museum archives Fort St. Catherine’s magnificent
history, which began in 1614 when Governor Richard
Moore built the fort to defend Gates Bay, the landing
place of the Sea Venture castaways in 1609. A gun
floor features 10-inch muzzle loaders, each weighing
18 tons, and other displays of antique small arms. The
upper gun deck features a substantial open area that
overlooks Bermuda’s North Shore and the Atlantic
Ocean, perfect for outdoor gatherings.

ATTRACTIONS
The city of Hamilton owns and operates numerous
public parks and spaces within the city limits. The areas
are open to the general public and may be used for
private functions.
Situated on a hilltop on the eastern boundary of
the City, Fort Hamilton boasts panoramic views and
is an ideal venue for gazing at the Island’s spectacular
sunsets. Historically, a former British Garrison, the
Fort was used as the headquarters for The Bermuda
Volunteer Rifle Corps from the mid 1890s until the mid
1930s. Lying at the water’s edge of Hamilton Harbour is
Barr’s Bay Park. The ideal entertainment spot allows for
unrivalled views over the marina of the nearby yacht
club. Barr’s Bay Park is a short walk from the marine
transportation hub of the Hamilton Ferry Terminal, and
sits nestled on the lower western boundary close to the
heart of the city.
Previously Par-la-Ville Park, Queen Elizabeth Park
was renamed in honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond
Jubilee in April 2012. Easily recognized as one of
Bermuda’s premier public parks, Queen Elizabeth Park
contains a myriad of floral displays as well as native
and exotic trees. The City of Hamilton partnered with

the Bermuda National Gallery to develop an innovative
display of public art, by creating The John H. Young
and Hilda Young Sculpture Garden inside the park, yet
another spectacular setting for an outdoor reception.
The Botanical Gardens, located a short drive
from downtown Hamilton, is a mix of woodland,
greenhouses, park, agricultural buildings, and
horticultural collections. The gardens unveiled a
tributary sculpture to John Lennon in 2012. While
visiting the Botanical Gardens, Lennon discovered the
Double Fantasy freesia flower which became the title of

Reef snorkeling, glass bottom boats to see coral reef
and night cruises on the water are easily found, with
many of the tour boats leaving from Hamilton, near the
ferry terminal.
Not far from the city of Hamilton are two fairly
secluded little beaches, Clarence Cove, that form an
exquisite lagoon-like setting around a part of the North
Shore in Pembroke Parish. Two other cozy beaches
are close by, Spanish Point Park and Deep Bay. All are
perfect for group outdoor activities or just relaxing by
the beautiful blue waters. l

rom the smallest drawbridge in the world to miles
of azure waters and pink sand beaches, the South
Shore is a meeting planner’s paradise. There are
plenty of opportunities to create memorable meetings
and make business pleasure.
VENUES
For small groups, the The Dining Room at Gibbs Hill
Lighthouse, inside the glowing tower, puts guests in
the middle of one of Bermuda’s greatest icons. The
taller of two lighthouses on Bermuda, it is the first of
only a few lighthouses in the world to be made of castiron. For a spectacular view of the island, willing guests
can climb 185 steps to the top in eight flights.
Plan a day of outdoor activity at Astwood Park and
Cove with a catamaran cruise, followed by a cocktail
party, dinner and dancing. Astwood beach is one of
Bermuda’s natural wonders with its picturesque cliffs.
ACTIVITIES
Scaur Hill Fort and Park, one of the many forts built
around the island in the 19th century, sits on the highest
hill in Somerset. The fort has subterranean passages
and a dry moat that stretches across the land from Ely’s
Harbour to Great Sound. Panoramic views of Royal Naval
Dockyard and Great Sound are spectacular.
Take the group for an outdoor adventure — rent
bicycles or walk along the famous Railway Trail.
Operating from 1931 to 1948, the railway served as
transportation for thousands of Bermudians. In 1984,
the government converted the rails to trails, a 22-mile

the majesty of the open water and the beauty of the

For eco tours, Somerset Long Bay East Nature
Reserve spotlights an extremely valuable part of
Bermuda’s natural heritage and biodiversity. A unique
feature of the pond in the reserve is that it supports a
freshwater marsh community, including resident and
migratory water birds. Small nesting islands in the
pond have been colonized by five species of breeding
waterfowl, a record for Bermuda marshes and ponds.
Birdwatchers can be assured remarkable sightings.
The second largest freshwater pond is located at the

an important sanctuary for resident and migratory
waterfowl. The eastern hillside forms an integral part
of an extensive woodland belt that supports some of
the largest allspice trees in Bermuda and still contains
a number of Bermuda cedars. The Bermuda National
Trust recently installed an interpretive sign nature trail
around the pond.
One of the largest parks in Bermuda is the Heydon
Trust with 44 acres of lush and well-kept gardens. Rose
gardens, citrus groves and a bird sanctuary are all part
of the park as well as ten historical buildings. It is also
home to Bermuda’s smallest chapel, the Heydon Trust
Chapel, built around 1620. The church was donated by
the Church of England and is still an active place of
worship. Hear the lost art of Gregorian chants, which
happen daily. Visitors are welcome.
For a different kind of relaxation, book the group
into any of Bermuda’s award-winning spas. On South
Shore, bliss can be found at the quiet, intimate and
exclusive Spa at Elbow Beach or the Willow Stream
Spa at The Fairmont Southampton, which has been
voted Best Spa in Bermuda for over a decade running.

Whalewatching excursions are a perfect group

Once you step foot on Horseshoe Bay Beach, you’ll
know why it is Bermuda’s most celebrated beach and
the most popular beach with locals. The long, sweeping
crescent of pink sand makes it a popular choice any
time of year. The nearby Beach House has a snack bar
and beach chair and umbrella rentals. One of the most
visually stunning beaches on the island is Jobson’s
Cove, a sheltered cove surrounded by steep, jagged
rocks with crystal blue water.
The longest shoreline is located here, too. Warwick
