LILLIPUT
and ready to experience a land and a people like no
other you’ve seen or met before, we applaud you.
Lilliput is a place that will live in your heart for a
lifetime. In the time it takes you to get here
(see “Getting There,” p. 2) and acclimate to this new
culture, you’ll certainly meet a few challenges. That
said, not one soul who has visited Lilliput would
pass up the chance to do it all again. The scenic,
tranquil beaches; the happening culture and night-
life; and the warm, hearty, and fiercely loyal Lillipu-
tians will leave you head over heels in love with this
island. We bet you’ll return home encouraging all
your friends to go, too.
Getting There
An “off the grid” location in the midst of the Bermuda Trian-
gle, Lilliput is a destination that takes a lot of determination
to reach. Most visitors come through Bermuda, though you
never know when you might suddenly end up here. For your
best chance of reaching Lilliput, fly to Bermuda’s LF Wade
International Airport. Upon arrival, ask around for “Young
Hank.” With a little sweet-talking, you should be able to con-
vince him to outfit you with a watercraft and provide you with
coordinates to your destination. At that point, all you’ll have
is luck and chance on your side.
You may encounter rough seas on your way to Lilliput. Plan ahead for
possible motion sickness.
What to Bring
It’s not necessary to pack much for your trip to Lilliput.
Remember, you will reach your destination only by hitting
storms, high seas, and probably an eventual water spout,
which will drag you down and spit you out in Lilliput. 3
Therefore, you’re likely to end up on the shores of Lilliput
with only the clothes on your back. So dress comfortably.
LILLIPUT
Most restaurants and nightclubs are upscale casual, so do try
to avoid wearing flip-flops or tank tops. Whichever outfit you
want to spend your trip in should be the one you wear while
traveling here.
Safety
Though you should always be aware of your surroundings, for
the most part, Lilliput is extremely safe. Note: There have
been reports of occasional surprise attacks by Blefuscians,
which can be extremely dangerous. Should you spot a Blefus-
cian during your visit, take cover quickly. If caught out in the
open in disadvantageous circumstances, take confidence in
your size. Assert yourself firmly, and fiercely, if necessary, and
that should relieve your situation. If all else fails, scream for help
at the top of your lungs. Lilliputians are a brave bunch. Chances
are, someone will come to your rescue in a matter of moments.
Health
If boating is in your plans while in Lilliput, you should
take care to protect yourself against seasickness. You may
want to consider taking a pill for motion sickness. You should
be able to find this over-the-counter remedy at the front desk
of your hotel.
Visitors should also be careful when eating in Lilliput.
Food here is much smaller than on the mainland, so even
standard-size bites of food can be a choking hazard. Also be
sure to watch for bones. Small animals make for finger-food-
size portions—a danger regardless of your size.
Staying Connected
You can forget about staying connected while in Lilliput. Not
only will your cellphone fail, but accessing the Internet and
email is impossible. Think of your stay on Lilliput as a time to
4 unwind and relax, leaving behind your worries and all contact
with the rest of the world.
LILLIPUT
Tips on Accommodations
Most visitors from the mainland will find accommodations on
Lilliput quite comfortable. However, it’s important to ask in
advance for large rooms. Many hotels, motels, and hostels are
outfitted primarily for Lilliputians, thus their quarters are
insufficient for bigger guests. Another room-related item of
note: Checkout time for mainland guests is early, usually
around 8am. It takes a long time for Lilliputians to clean such
oversized rooms.
ACCOMMODATIONS
EXPENSIVE
King Theodore Grand At the foot of the castle,
on the outskirts of Town Square, sits this shrine to luxury and
all things royal. You may not be a royal yourself, but that
doesn’t mean you can’t be treated like one. Taking its decor
cues from the castle itself, the King Theodore Grand is
imbued with rich fabrics, sumptuous colors, and regal fur-
nishings. Rooms, each designed by famous Lilliputian inte-
rior decorators including Pierre the Tiny (he was notably
small, even by Lilliputian standards), are outfitted with 17th,
18th, and 19th-century furnishings; high thread-count linens
(tiny Lilliputian hands can send thread counts well into the
tens of thousands); and custom bathrooms, for all sizes of
guests. The on-site dining options also cater to high-end
tastes. The formal dining room, Lilli’s, serves seafood, steaks,
and foie gras, among other delectables for the sophisticated
palate. Lilli’s is like no other upscale eatery on the island—
service is impeccable, and the setting is downright kingly.
The KGT also has Theo’s, a casual restaurant, which is per-
fect for finger foods—think burgers, fries, and sandwiches—
and ideal for family dining.

MODERATE
The Lilli Pad Bed & Breakfast
Although it’s a typical bed and breakfast in many respects
(think communal dining, cutesy rooms with doilies and
antiques, etc.), the Lilli Pad is much more than a place to rest
your head, pet the cat, and chat with innkeepers. This former
Lilliputian rooming house turned amiable inn is integral to
the tourist social scene in Lilliput. Guests flock here to swap
travel stories—What was your journey like? Where did you
land?—and the tale-telling usually lasts until the wee hours.
Its setting makes it an ideal gathering place. A beachfront
location, sprawling patio, and concession stand selling tradi-
tional Lilliputian favorites, such as Blefuscian blue crab dip,
all recommend it as a genial place to stop for the night or
week and meet fellow travelers. Visitors from the mainland
6 might want to consider bringing their own sheets. Most beds
in the house are for Lilliputians and are thus too small for the
average visitor from overseas (or throughseas, as it were).

public rooms in the castle—the grand dining salon, the prin-
cess’s reading room, the throne room, and, best of all—the
royal bowling alley and foosball chamber. Come on the right
day (your guess is as good as ours) and you might stumble
upon a royal at jousting practice. There’s also a daily changing
of the guard at 11am. This is a fascinating spectacle—the on-
shift guards march in perfect syncopation to a live royal band,
they approach the guards on the upcoming shift, and, after a
short display and reverent routine, the guards switch places.
This is a wonderful activity for families.

WHERE TO SHOP
Lilliputian Notions A quaint souvenir shop just out-
side the castle walls, Lilliputian Notions capitalizes on all the
tourists pouring in and out of the castle every day. Lucky for
the tourists, the shop is actually quite nice. Though some of
their wares are on the schlocky, cheesy side (Lilliput snow
globes, T-shirts with slogans like “My travel editor went to
Lilliput and all I got was this lousy t-shirt”), many of their
offerings are quite lovely. Table runners, lamps, and other
home décor items are reproductions of the fancier versions
found in the castle. More elaborate pieces, including busts of
the royal family and reproductions of historic weaponry, are
quite tastefully done. This is a perfect spot to find gifts for
loved ones back home. Just remember, though, there’s no
guarantee that you’ll be able to transport your gifts back. And
it goes without saying that the gift shop does not ship.
244 Castle Rd. Daily 10am–6pm.
Market at Gulliver Center The market at Gulliver
Center is a shopper’s dream come true. Whether you’re looking
for home goods, flowers, spices, kitchen wares, specialty foods,
gifts, or anything in between, the market is the place to go. With
16 dozens of vendors purveying a wide variety of goods, the market
is a fun spot to stroll even if you don’t intend to purchase any-
thing. The people-watching is also great. Tourists and Lillipu-
