In the right place client entertaining is a breeze (or in the case of Bermuda, a sea breeze). Although it’s only 21 square miles, the island is bursting with world-class experiences that make it an ideal location for elevated client entertaining, from the chance to drink Rum Swizzles aboard a glass-bottomed boat and discover incredible local music talent to spa days inside underground caves. For those hoping to not only entertain their clients, but show them something truly unforgettable, we’ve rounded up a complete guide to Bermuda’s most epic and unique client entertaining experiences.

Tee off among swaying palms and sandy beaches on any of Bermuda’s six world-class courses, which have long been beloved by movie stars and presidents alike. Our favorites include Turtle Hill, Port Royal, and The Mid Ocean Club, although there’s no shortage of options, considering Bermuda boasts the world record for the most golf courses per capita.
Don’t get us wrong we love our Dark ‘n Stormy®, but if you find yourself in need of something slightly more artisanal then head to the martini bar at Barracuda Grill to chat business and order up some Shiny Pennys (with Dewars honey, sweet vermouth, angostura and bitters) and Hemingway Daiquiris (with Goslings Gold, Maraschino Liqueur and grapefruit juice).
Although it’s hard to choose, one of the most picturesque dining experiences on the island is at Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa, not only for the delicious food but the unforgettable ambience with the chance to enjoy Bermuda spiny lobster in-season and the ever-changing and consistently mouthwatering catch of the day while dining on the resort’s private beach.
On Reef Explorer’s 70-foot air conditioned glass-bottom boat, you’ll be able to treat your client to an afternoon filled with admiring colorful coral reef and marine life all from the comfort of their seat. But don’t worry, there’s plenty of opportunity to dive into the action (see what we did there) with several snorkeling and scuba diving excursions available through the charter experience as well.
Take in Bermuda’s most breathtaking views via horseback on the Railway Trail, a gorgeous path that will have you peacefully wandering through lush forests, above turquoise seas, and past beautiful harbors. Insider tip: It’s one of the most magical ways to experience the islands so be sure to pack your camera for limitless gram opportunities.
Thanks to its world-class reefs, shipwrecks and underwater caves, not to mention Bermuda’s infamous spiny lobster and barracuda, the island offers all of the key ingredients for an unforgettable diving experience. Whether it's your first or one hundredth time deep sea diving, don’t miss the chance to show your client some of the world’s most incredible dive sites. See ten of the best dive sites in Bermuda →
Explore the lush nature reserves of Bermuda during an eco-tour, which will give you a greater appreciation of this beautiful island beyond just its beaches. We’re big fans of Hidden Gems Tour of Tom Moore’s Jungle for its off-the-beaten-path vibe and subterranean cave exploration, as well as kayaking eco adventures through Crystal Clear Kayaks which will have you and your client traversing the island’s warm waters in clear bottom kayaks.
We’re pretty sure we’re in the wrong profession considering we just learned that a rumologist is a legit career path. On one of Bermuda’s rum tasting cruises you’ll have the chance to learn all about the history of Gosling’s Rum from your very own rumologist while trying different varieties of this popular Bermudian beverage (yes that includes samples of rum cake, too!).
Hoping to unwind? Head to any of Bermuda’s world-class spas, which include unique treatments which range from hot stone massage in the otherworldly caves of Grotto Beach Resort to the Rum Swizzle ritual at Elbow Beach (apparently the cocktail has antioxidants that provide many healing properties to the skin). You also can’t go wrong with a full day of pampering at Coral Beach, which includes a massage/facial combo, a spa manicure and pedicure, reflexology and creamy mask, blow dry and spa lunch.
