The St. Regis Bermuda Resort

The Verdict
Worth it for your honeymoon?
The St. Regis Bermuda Resort opened in 2021 on St. Catherine's Beach at the east end of the island — Bermuda's first new luxury build in over a decade, the only St. Regis in the country, and the closest five-star to the L.F. Wade airport (under ten minutes by car). The proposition is classic St. Regis: signature butler service in every category, the longest private pink-sand beach on the island, an infinity pool that cascades over the cliff toward the open Atlantic, the championship Five Forts golf course laid out along the historic fortifications above the property, and 120 rooms spread across a tasteful Bermudian-modern building with the white-stepped roofs and pastel facades the planning rules require. The east-end location is the trade-off: 35 minutes by taxi to Hamilton dining, 40 minutes to Horseshoe Bay. The plus side is UNESCO St George's a five-minute drive away, the longest beach of any hotel on the island, and the airport proximity that makes arrival and departure days feel like part of the holiday rather than an ordeal.

Room Recommendation
Which room to book
St. Regis Ocean View King with butler service is the honeymoon entry — direct Atlantic views from a private balcony, the classic St. Regis butler unpacking and pressing, and the Ocean Suite category one step up doubles the floor space and adds a separate living room. For the absolute splurge, the Beachfront Bungalow puts you on the ground floor with sliding glass directly onto the sand and a private plunge pool.

Day by Day
Your 7-night honeymoon itinerary
Arrival & St. George's Town
Fly into BDA — the resort is a 10-minute taxi. Settle in, drink at the Lighthouse Bar overlooking the infinity pool at sunset. Casual first dinner at the BLT Steak (the St. Regis signature) or a five-minute taxi into St George's for Tempest Bistro.
Private Pink Beach Day
A full day on St. Catherine's Beach — the longest private pink sand on the island, framed by Fort St. Catherine on the western headland. Butler-delivered lunch on the sand. Late afternoon couples treatment at the spa, dinner at the Lighthouse.
Crystal Caves & Tom Moore's
15-minute scooter west to the Crystal & Fantasy Caves (book the 10am tour). Lunch at Bailey's Bay Ice Cream. Walk Walsingham Nature Reserve in the afternoon. Dinner at Tom Moore's Tavern — Bermuda's oldest restaurant in a 1652 cottage, fifteen minutes from the resort. Jackets required for men.
Hamilton Day Trip
Take the ferry from St George's to Hamilton (45 minutes, $5) — the most scenic harbour ride in the Atlantic. Spend the day walking Front Street, lunch at the Hamilton Princess's Pickled Onion, art at the Bermuda National Gallery. Return by ferry, dinner back at the St. Regis.
Sailing or Golf Day
Either a sunset catamaran charter from St George's into Castle Harbour, or a round at the Five Forts golf course on the property — historic fortifications as a backdrop, ocean views from every hole. Sunset drinks at the Lighthouse Bar.
South Shore Pink Sand
Long taxi or scooter west to Horseshoe Bay for the day. Walk the connecting trail east through Jobson and Warwick Long Bay. Lunch at the Reefs Beach Club. Return for a final dinner at BLT Steak — the St. Regis's American steakhouse with a Bermudian wine list.
Beach Morning & Departure
A final hour on the longest pink sand of the holiday, breakfast in the room with the butler, and the 10-minute taxi to BDA. The east-end location turns departure day into one more beach morning.
Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
The St. Regis is 35-40 minutes by taxi from Hamilton; couples wanting walkable city dining every night should base in the city instead.
As a 2021 build, the property lacks the heritage and architectural character of the Hamilton Princess or the design intimacy of the Loren — it is excellent but corporate.
Peak summer rates exceed $2,000/night for ocean-view categories; better value windows are May, late September, and October.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Good for honeymooners?
Yes — the St. Regis Bermuda is among the most polished honeymoon experiences on the island, with signature butler service, the longest private pink beach, and an airport-proximity that makes the holiday feel longer. The trade-off is east-end location and a brand-new build aesthetic rather than heritage character.
Best time to visit?
May through October. June, July, August are peak swim weather and rates. Late September and October offer better value with warm water and easing crowds. Bermuda hurricane season runs July through October — buy travel insurance for peak summer dates.
Book in advance?
Ocean View categories book 3-4 months ahead for summer; the Beachfront Bungalow books 6+ months ahead for honeymoon dates. Off-season (May, October) is 4-6 weeks.
Adults-only?
No, the St. Regis is family-friendly with a kids' club, but the 120-room scale and the private beach length mean honeymooners and families self-segregate easily. The spa and BLT Steak are firmly adult.
Best room type?
Ocean View King with butler service is the honeymoon entry. The Beachfront Bungalow with plunge pool is the splurge — direct sand access and full privacy on the ground floor of the resort.
How to get there?
L.F. Wade International (BDA) is under 10 minutes by taxi — the closest five-star to the airport. The resort arranges transfers. Direct flights from JFK (2h), Newark, Boston, Toronto, and London Gatwick.
