Places To Stay
Ever dreamed of staying in a luxury treehouse or an overwater villa? In Jamaica, you can – with stunning hotels and resorts dotted across the island, each offering their own unique charm. From private pools and pristine beaches to indulgent spas and top-notch service, these retreats promise a stay to remember. Highlights include Half Moon in Montego Bay with its elegant rooms, suites, and beachfront villas; the chic, Ralph Lauren-designed Round Hill Hotel & Villas; and the cliffside charm of The Caves in Negril. Head northeast to the iconic Jamaica Inn or Goldeneye – the former home of James Bond author Ian Fleming – for a mix of glamour and seclusion. Over on the north-east coast, the stylish Trident Hotel and rainforest-surrounded Geejam Hotel near Port Antonio offer a more intimate escape, while Strawberry Hill in the Blue Mountains delivers fine dining and breath-taking views
Experiences
We’re the island of happy days, vivid nights, and unforgettable experiences – and luxury holidays in Jamaica take it all to the next level. Picture sunrise yoga in an overwater bungalow, beach horse riding at Half Moon, or paddleboarding through crystal-clear waters at Goldeneye. At Round Hill, explore nearby adventures like bamboo rafting, ziplining through lush jungle, or dancing on a private sunset cruise. Back at the resort, unwind with beachside spa treatments or enjoy a couple’s massage in a serene suite – the Strawberry Herbal Back Cleanse is a must-try.
Dining
Jamaica’s rich culture, history, and warmth come alive in every bite. Whether you're dining at a top resort or a local gem, incredible flavours are always on the menu. Luxury hotels across the island boast world-class chefs and unforgettable settings – like The Sugar Mill at Half Moon in Montego Bay or the intimate cave dining experience at The Caves in Negril. For something truly special, sip a cocktail at the Blackwell Rum Bar as the waves shimmer under moonlight. Fancy dining out? Try fine French cuisine at L’Escargot in Runaway Bay or fresh seafood at Marguerite’s in Montego Bay – Jamaican flavour never tasted so good.
