Fairmont Southampton

Fairmont Southampton

“You go to heaven if you want- I’d rather stay here in Bermuda” by Mark Twain. I couldn’t agree more. The first week of August is coming and if you are still having a hard time choosing the perfect summer vacation spot, you can read my journey to Bermuda and Fairmont Southampton and see why I fell in love with Bermuda and Fairmont Southampton.

I hopped to Bermuda for a long weekend stay at the Fairmont Southampton with my family. What I like the most about Bermuda is its convenient location. Bermuda is only a short flight from NY, under 2 hours and Fairmont Southampton is located about 25 minutes from the airport. Fairmont Southampton is located on Bermuda’s stunning south shore with miles of pink and sand beaches. I believe Fairmont Southampton is the only one that truly stands out in terms of luxury and this is why I visit Fairmont Southampton every year. Fairmont Southampton is also a great family vacation spot because Fairmont Southampton offers every family members endless possibilities for recreation and relaxation.

There are activities for kids at the hotels as well as golf for adults. Fairmont Southampton provides unparalleled amenities throughout the entire property, such as movies on the beach, bingo, music at the dock, games, ping pong, children’s programs, and so much more.

One of my favorite parts is Fairmont Southampton’s private beach. The Fairmont Private Beach Club is situated on one of Bermuda’s finest beaches, a secluded private cove with impossibly pink sand. There’s nothing you really need to bring to the beach because Fairmont Southampton provides almost everything you need, including sun shade wheelchair with umbrella, towels, lockers, dive shop, great restaurants (a refreshing line-up cocktails from Ocean Club Restaurant & Terrace Bar is a must!). You can conveniently take Fairmont Southampton’s shuttles to the beach (comes every 5 minutes) and it is only a two minute ride from the top of the resort.

I also really enjoyed Fairmont Southampton's The Resort Pool (outdoor heated pool), which features a hot tub and a kiddie splash pool with mini water slide. The resort pool is steps away from The Fairmont Southampton Beach Club and I’m sure this will make you a lovely afternoon walk. The resort pool is open 24 hours a day and you can also rent the Orbit Loungers for a private & relaxing resort pool experience. (Helpful TIPS: there are no lifeguards on duty at the Fairmont Private beach, the resort pool so please exercise caution while swimming!)

Fairmont Southampton also provides different activities, such as tennis, diving, water sports, business services, and much more. If you are a water sports lover, I also encourage you to explore the Bermuda waters and pristine coastline by jet ski or private boat. I hired a private boat with my friends for a half day excursion and it was a great experience. Fairmont Southampton’s Bermuda private boat rental provided shaded area under canopy, cooler with ice, 1 tank of fuel, 4 sets snorkel gear, noodle swimming floats, and more.

If someone asks what is it about Fairmont Southampton, Bermuda that draws me back every year, I would say Bermuda’s beautiful beaches, crystal clean water, pink sand and Fairmont Southampton’s excellent facilities, amenities, friendly staffs and its convenient location. The first week of August is near and if you are still having a hard time choosing the perfect summer vacation spot, now you know where to go! You will fall in love with Bermuda.
