As well as the world’s premier offshore financial centre, Bermuda is one of the planet’s most isolated destinations – a group of Atlantic islands only 40 km sq and some 700 miles east of the nearest point of land, namely Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.

It is home to about 65,000 people, many of whom work in the ‘international business’ sector, as accountants, lawyers, insurance and investment professionals, among other roles. On weekends, these people play on Bermuda’s vast array of golf courses and tennis courts, spend time boating in the sheltered Great Sound and take in the vibrant restaurant scene.
