About Fairmont Southampton
- The historic 1844 Gibb's Hill Lighthouse, a cast-iron beacon still in operation, is a scenic walk from the resort's hilltop grounds.
History
Fairmont Southampton opened in 1972 on the hillside above the southern coast of Bermuda, offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. The resort occupies 100 acres at the highest point in Bermuda, with a private beach, multiple pools, and a par-three golf course. It is one of the largest resorts in Bermuda and serves as a major leisure destination on the island. The property underwent substantial renovations through the 2010s to maintain its standing as Bermuda's flagship luxury beach resort.
The setting
Fairmont Southampton crowns the highest ridge of Southampton Parish at 101 South Shore Road, where 100 acres of manicured grounds slope from sweeping Atlantic panoramas down to a private pink-sand beach cove. Opened in 1972 as the Southampton Princess, the resort sits adjacent to world-renowned Horseshoe Bay and commands views across Bermuda's South Shore from its hilltop perch. The iconic Gibb's Hill Lighthouse, an 1844 cast-iron sentinel, is a scenic walk from the grounds, and the Turtle Hill Golf Club occupies the same rolling estate. Now undergoing a $550 million renovation, the property is slated to reopen in 2026 as Bermuda's most ambitious resort.
