Thanks to its Atlantic setting, the pink-sanded island chain of Bermuda has only come into high season, at the same time as northern states kick into high gear. While this British-owned archipelago is renowned for its high price tags, deals can still be found to this refined spot, where Old World charms, historic towns, and plentiful golf courses abound. Act now and you can enjoy a summer holiday here from only $829.

Bermuda holiday for only $829
Vacation Outlet offers a steal of a deal to Bermuda, starting at $829 for a four-night getaway at a newly reopened beach resort. This low price covers airfare from Boston and lodging at Grape Bay Beach Hotel, a first-class property with British flair. This collection of distinctive cottages is located on the south shore in Paget Parish, an ideal spot to spend your island vacation. Rent a scooter and zip around the island, or treat yourself to great food in some of Hamilton's cafes and pubs.

Bermuda summer escape for $1399
We spotted another terrific Bermuda bargain on Expedia: a four-night summer holiday at an oceanfront property, with roundtrip airfare from New York, now priced at only $1399. Valid for travel through the end of August, this package covers a sojourn at Coco Reef Resort located on a private beach overlooking the Atlantic. Each Bermudian-style guestroom, with vibrant colors and original artwork, features private balconies. As a perk, complimentary breakfast is served daily.

Bermuda beach hideaway for $987
Expedia offers another well-priced summer option to Bermuda, for departures through the end of August. A four-night getaway at beachfront hideaway now sells for only $987, with a flight from New York. Accommodation is at Grotto Bay Beach Resort, in pastel-colored lodges on 21 acres of flowering gardens and tropical forests, less than four miles away from historic St George. In addition to the outdoor pool and spa tub, the resort features two dramatically-lit caves for swimming amid turquoise waters.

The package rates above are listed per person, based on double occupancy. We checked rack rates at the featured properties and, taking the included airfare into account, you’re saving a sizeable chunk of change by booking these deals.

Count on whopping daily expenses once you hit the island.
