Have you had a rough day in the office? A long day watching the kids? Do you daydream about being stretched out on a beach towel catching rays on a tropical island with a cool drink in your hand?
Most people have!
Taking a trip with your girlfriends can lead to one of the best memories of your life. It’s a way to detox from the regular day-to-day hectic life and give yourself a break from that 9-5 schedule. This valuable “me” time can help with mental health, physical exhaustion, depression, and more. There are many valid reasons why investing in a good vacation is a great way to achieve happiness.
Bermuda is the perfect location for your girl’s getaway. Here’s why:
7 Reasons to Plan a Girl’s Getaway to Bermuda
1. Natural beauty
The combination of pink sand and multi-color water makes for a scenic location and a fantastic beach day! Tan, swim and sleep. Once you’ve done this, you’ll find you and your girls refreshed, bronze, and happy!
2. Safety
It’s one of the safest (and friendliest) places on the planet. Try drinking and walking back to your hotel in New York City at night–you won’t feel nearly as safe as you will in Bermuda. The island vibe is pretty chill, and as long as you have common sense, the likelihood of anything wrong happening is slim to none.
3. Island time
Bermuda unofficially runs on “island time,” a relaxed approach to the everyday hustle and bustle you find elsewhere on the planet. The schedule isn’t nearly as rushed, so you and your girlfriends can take your time as you browse the shops, eat at the local cafes, and dance at the bars. Just ensure you aren’t late if you plan to take a cruise, or they’ll leave without you!
4. Kindness of locals
Bermuda locals are super helpful–all you have to do is look like you’re lost, and locals will ask if you’re okay or need directions/information. It’s in their nature. If you’re riding a rental bike with your map out, it won’t take more than a few minutes before someone pulls over to see if you need directions to the beach!
5. Delicious food
Bermuda has a reputation for good eating, and it’s not rare to enjoy a meal with the backdrop of a beautiful sunset over the ocean. Pair that with a nice bottle of wine and some good fresh local seafood, and you and your ladies will feel like you’re in heaven on earth!
6. Fantastic nightlife
The nightlife is relaxed, and the drinks are yummy and fruity. The national drink is the “Rum Swizzle,” a delicious mix of fruit juices and Bermuda’s very own Gosling’s Rum. Swizzle is famously made at the Bermudian pub, “Swizzle Inn,” located just past the causeway when you land at the airport.
7. Water activities
If all of the above doesn’t convince you (and I’d be shocked!), A wide range of activities can also be enjoyed on the water. Jet skiing, water skiing, glass bottom boats, snorkeling, scuba diving, shipwreck tours, paddle boarding, and whale watching are just some of the activities you can enjoy while on vacation in Bermuda.
