Fairylands is an exclusive, upmarket residential village in Pembroke Parish, Bermuda, to the west of Hamilton. It is found to the west of Pitt's Bay Road, and extends over two small peninsulas separated by Fairyland Creek:
- Mill Shares to the north and
- Point Shares to the south
Mill Creek to the north separates Fairylands from the developments stretching out to Spanish Point.
The area was developed when wealthy merchants with businesses established in the City of Hamilton, wanted hoes outside the town, in a lovely, quiet area with sea views. Its name is inspired by Celtic mythology and on some maps it is referred to as 'Fairylands', and others as 'Fairyland'.
The village has winding, narrow byways, looking out on the sea and the little islands which shelter the creek, and its waters dotted with yachts. Wetland areas include Fairyland Creek and Mill Creek, both inlets, near local islands, which are protected from further development by planning laws.
Black Wood Pond marks the border between the Point Shares peninsula and the rest of Fairylands. On the north side of the pond is one of Bermuda’s oldest bridges.
