The jewels in this Caribbean haven’s crown are the array of beautiful golden beaches, such as Doctor's Cave Beach on Montego Bay. Thanks to its ban on radios, footballs and vendors, these secluded shores possess an idyllically intimate feel.

Another golden stretch of expansive sands is Negril's 7-mile beach. As the name implies, this tropical oasis plays host to seven stunning miles of sandy beach. Stay until the sun goes down and dance the night away with live reggae music from Alfred's Ocean Palace.

When a break from sightseeing is required, the Boston Bay is a must-see and most definitely a must-taste experience!

As the supposed birthplace of jerk, you’ll find street vendors lined up at the entrance to Boston Bay beach, selling plantain and breadfruit all coated with this smoky spice rub, that is Jamaica’s most famous contribution to the culinary world.

Resorts

After a day of exploring, sit back into the welcoming boutique surroundings of the much-loved hotel Half Moon, nestled within a unique crescent-shaped bay. For a timeless experience, the one of a kind Jamaica Inn exudes elegance from every room and corridor - offering perfect privacy for truly luxurious living.

As a producer of Blue Mountain Coffee, get yourself ready for a day of adventure with a cup of this rare and lavishly sought-after coffee that’s popular across the globe. When it comes to winding down, take a trip to the lesser-known “healing waters of Jamaica” - made up of several natural mineral baths and hot springs, thought to have therapeutic properties.
