Hamilton, Bermuda

An airier version of the United Kingdom endowed with tropical flair, the Bermudan archipelago holds a surprising number of compelling attractions across its minuscule landmass. In the UNESCO World Heritage site town of St. George’s, wander cobblestone streets steeped in colonial history, perhaps pausing at the quaint 17th-century St. Peter’s Church, the oldest Anglican house of worship outside of England. Be sure to take a stroll along one of Bermuda’s renowned pink sand beaches, the result of crushed red shells mingling with sand to astonishing effect.

More wonders await below ground at the Crystal and Fantasy Caves, which were carved out and shaped for millions of years, creating spectacular rock formations that surround azure underground lakes. For dramatic contrast, climb the soaring Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, Bermuda’s tallest structure and one of the world’s oldest cast iron beacons, and take in 360-degree views of the entire archipelago. At the Royal Navy Dockyard, a stately collection of 19th-century maritime buildings, you might pick up a memento of alluring Bermuda from the enticing array of shops housed within.
