Bermuda Hotel Map: Resort Locations & Transport Logistics

Updated: September 2026

Bermuda is shaped like a fishhook, curling out into the Atlantic Ocean. When you look at a static map, the distances seem incredibly short.

In reality, the island's winding roads and strict speed limits mean location is everything.

I built this guide to help you plot your stay based on what you actually want to do.

Road Map

Who This Is For / Who Should Skip

Visual planners and first-timers need this guide to understand island logistics. If you book a hotel simply because it looks nice, you might end up paying $50 in taxi fares just to reach a beach.

Use this map to understand island distances. Once you know which side of the island you prefer, read my detailed guide on Where to Stay in Bermuda by Parish to choose your exact hotel.

If you do not care about geography and just want a ranked list of the absolute top properties, skip this map. Head directly to my guide on the Best Hotels and Resorts instead.

What Surprised Me The Most About Bermuda's Geography

Bermuda is only 21 miles long. You might think you can zip from one end to the other in twenty minutes. The reality is quite different. The national speed limit is 35 km/h (about 22 mph), and the roads are narrow, winding, and bordered by high limestone walls.

Driving a rental EV Micro-Car from the West End to the East End can easily take an hour. You will smell the salt spray and cedar trees, but you will not get there fast. Map your daily activities close to your hotel to avoid spending half your trip in transit.

Common Mistakes When Mapping Your Stay

Many visitors look at a map and book a hotel near the airport in St. George's, assuming it is central. It is actually on the far eastern tip of the island.

Another common error is staying in Hamilton City and assuming you can easily walk to the famous pink sand beaches. You cannot. The roads lack sidewalks, and walking those blind corners is dangerous. You must use a taxi, scooter, or bus to reach the South Shore from town.

Region 1: The South Shore

Plotted along the lower-left to the middle-bottom curve of the map, this zone encompasses Southampton and Warwick parishes. Looking at the map, this coastal stretch is strictly concentrated with beachfront properties directly facing the Atlantic.

On the eastern edge of this mapped zone is The Loren at Pink Beach (roughly a 15-minute taxi ride from the airport).

Moving west along the coastline, you will find Azura Bermuda and The Reefs, both requiring a 25- to 35-minute drive from the airport.

Region 2: Hamilton and Central Parishes

This cluster of hotel pins is located in the geographic center of the island along the inner harbor. The largest property pin here is the Hamilton Princess and Beach Club, mapped less than a five-minute walk from the central ferry terminal.

Also plotted in this central grid are the Royal Palms Hotel and Rosemont Guest Suites. While these central pins are a moderate 25-minute drive from the airport, it is important to note their spatial relationship to the ocean: you will need to factor in a 15- to 20-minute southward taxi or shuttle ride to reach the South Shore beaches.

Region 3: The East End

This region covers the far right side of the map (Hamilton Parish and St. George's). The defining logistical feature of these pins is their immediate proximity to L.F. Wade International Airport.

Grotto Bay Beach Resort and Rosewood Bermuda are both located within a 5- to 10-minute drive of the arrivals terminal.

The easternmost property on the entire map is the St. Regis Bermuda Resort, located at the very tip of St. George's (roughly 15 minutes from the airport).

When looking at the map scale, note that driving from these East End pins all the way to the West End takes approximately an hour.

Region 4: The West End

The pins clustered at the far left tip of the map's "fishhook" curve represent Sandys Parish. Geographically, this is the furthest point from the airport, requiring a 50- to 60-minute transfer upon arrival.

Plotted here are Cambridge Beaches and Pompano Beach Club. Because of the long driving distance to the central and eastern parishes, note the nearby West End ferry stops on the map; these provide a direct, 20-minute water route straight across the Great Sound into central Hamilton.

(Note: The former 9 Beaches site at Daniel's Head remains unpinned, as the site is closed and abandoned following failed redevelopment plans).

Practical Details for Navigating the Map

Tourists cannot rent standard cars in Bermuda. You are limited to public transport, taxis, scooters, or 2-seater electric vehicles like the Renault Twizy. These EVs are fun but require advance booking during the summer months.

If you stay in the West End, the public ferry is your best friend. It provides a scenic, traffic-free ride straight into Hamilton.

Just remember that if paying cash, buses require exact change in coins, as drivers will not break a $20 bill. Alternatively, you can use pre-purchased tokens or the Shorelink app to pay digitally.

Pro-Tip: Map Your Evening Meals

Taxis are expensive and can be hard to find late at night. If you stay in a remote West End or East End resort, plan to eat dinner at your hotel most nights. If you want to hop between different restaurants every evening, book a hotel in the Central region.

Alternatives

If a traditional resort map is not what you need, you have other options. Bermuda has a robust short-term rental market.
