Fairmont Southampton
OVERVIEW
The Fairmont Southampton sits perched atop the highest point in Bermuda and offers stunning panoramic views of the sparkling turquoise waters below. The big pink palace is one of the most famous and recognisable properties on the island and affords excellent opportunities for wining and dining.
The gardens unfold to reveal a thicket of lush vegetation, from trees under which you can find a shady spot to read a book or billowing bushes of bougainvillea overflowing with colourful flowers, cascading down the coast to a white sand beach and azure sea.
This is a large hotel with 593 rooms so if you’re looking for a fun-packed holiday with a buzzing atmosphere then this is an ideal destination. This does mean that facilities are fantastic, with a golf course, a wide range of restaurants and bars and an enormous spa.
