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 the waving palms, shabby beach bars, and plenty of reggae beats. Add in a visit to the rainforests, crashing waterfalls, and sugar plantations, and you’ll get a great insight into island life.

With a strong Spanish and British colonial history, strolling around Jamaica’s towns and cities is a blast from the past. Georgian mansions like Rose Hall in Montego Bay mix with Jamaican vernacular architecture. It's full of photo-worthy destinations that whisper stories of the past as you walk by. In the capital of Kingston, the National Museum Jamaica is a good place to learn more. There are more than 17,000 items of national historic and ethnographic interest here.

If you’re keen to stay by the sea, be sure to check out destinations on Jamaica’s north coast. From the tropical sands of Negril in the west to the famous waterfalls of Ochos Rios in the east, there are lots of beachside locations 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.
