Jamaica Holidays

In many ways, Jamaica sums up the Caribbean. It’s got everything that comes to mind when you think about this part of the world, including beautiful beaches, waving palms and rustic beach bars. But, with an exciting reggae music scene and taste bud-tingling cuisine, it’s got its own distinct personality traits, too. Add in visits to the rainforests, rumbling waterfalls and sugar plantations, and you’ll get a great insight into Jamaican island life.

With a strong Spanish and British colonial heritage, Jamaica’s towns and cities are a step back in time. Georgian mansions with their elegant columns and balustrades, like Rose Hall in Montego Bay, mix with Jamaican vernacular architecture – a more practical, down-to-earth style. If you want to find out more, four national museums – located in Kingston, Port Royal, Montego Bay and Spanish Town – are home to around 19,000 items that tell the stories of Jamaica’s history and heritage.

If you’re keen to stay by the sea, be sure to check out the destinations on Jamaica’s north coast. From the tropical sands of Negril in the west to the famous waterfalls of Ocho Rios in the east, there are lots of beachside hotspots that are worth exploring. Lucea is one of the quieter places, making it ideal for couples. Runaway Bay offers easy access to some of the most popular attractions, including the Green Grotto Caves, which can be reached in 10 minutes by car.

For holidays starting on or after 1st May 2019, you’ll no longer need to set aside any spending money for departure tax, as we’re including it within the cost of your holiday.
