Whether you’re seeking serenity or stimulation, Jamaica has it all

From majestic mountains to mineral springs. On the island of Jamaica, an incredible natural attraction is never too far away. Disconnect from the distractions of daily life with a day of hiking in the Blue Mountains. A winding mountain range offering the most spectacular views across the island’s eastern valleys, the lush vegetation here hides scenic pathways, waterfalls and natural pools - all waiting to be discovered.

Doctors Cave Beach

If you’d rather be relaxing by the beach, Doctor's Cave Beach in Montego Bay is the perfect place to do it. Boasting over five miles of powdery sands and virtually translucent shores, it’s such an idyllic place to while the days away. With the water temperature rarely dropping below 22°C, there’s never a bad time to take a dip.

Discover the rich history of Jamaica

A stay on the island isn’t complete without discovering its rich history and traditional Jamaican culture. From St Ann to Discovery Bay, where do you begin? We’d recommend starting your tour with a visit to Rose Hall Great House, a former plantation house just outside of Montego Bay transformed into a unique museum. Knowledgeable Jamaica travel guides take you on a journey through time with tales of magic and mystery, dating all the way back to the late 18th century.

Nearby, Greenwood Great House towers above the coast. Built over 200 years ago, it has been carefully restored back to its former splendour. Visitors can now wander through its majestic rooms and halls, which host a unique collection of antiques from Jamaica and around the world.

Ask any knowledgable Jamaica vacation guide and they’ll tell you to head straight over to Kingston for a glimpse of what life was like for the king of reggae at the Bob Marley Museum. Set within his former home, you’ll find a theatre, record shop, and a photographic gallery inside - a must-see for music fans.
