Overview
Jamaica is the third-largest Caribbean island and is perfect for an unforgettable experience. Think white-sand beaches, beachside jerk chicken and reggae rhythms. Inland, you’ll find lush rainforests, stunning springs and dramatic mountains.
With over 900 kilometres of coastline, there is no shortage of incredible beaches, from the laid back stretch of Negril’s Seven Mile Beach to the calm, clear waters of Doctor’s Cave and Cornwall Beach in Montego Bay. Try jet skiing, horse riding or a glass-bottom boat trip, or dive into colourful reefs at Winnifred Beach. Away from the coast, you can climb Dunn’s River Falls, hike through national parks or drift down the Rio Grande on a bamboo raft.

Places to Visit

Montego Bay
Known as Jamaica’s second city, Montego Bay is a vibrant blend of golden beaches, lively nightlife and world-class resorts.

The Hip Strip, officially Jimmy Cliff Boulevard, is lined with lively bars, restaurants and shops, offering a true taste of island energy. With luxurious accommodation, top-class golf courses and a buzzing atmosphere from day to night, Montego Bay has something for everyone.

Ocho Rios
Tucked between rainforest covered hills and the Caribbean Sea, Ocho Rios is perfect for a mix of adventure and relaxation. One of the island’s best-known attractions, Dunn’s River Falls, invites visitors to climb its natural limestone tiers and cool off in freshwater pools. For those looking for thrills, there is ziplining, river tubing and all kinds of water sports. Or take things easy with a walk through local markets or a quiet afternoon on Turtle Beach.

Negril
Negril, known as the Capital of Casual, is Jamaica’s most laid back resort. Its famous Seven Mile Beach offers soft white sands, swaying palm trees and some of the best sunsets on the island. Spend your days relaxing by the sea, swimming in warm turquoise waters or exploring the dramatic cliffs along the coast. A visit to Rick’s Cafe is a must, where you can watch cliff divers leap into the sea and enjoy the view with a drink in hand. With its easy pace and natural beauty, Negril is the perfect place to unwind.
