Jamaica is the Escape You Need Right Now

Need to get away?

We know the past few months have been hectic for our friends up north. If you’re ready to decompress, we’re ready to welcome you with open arms and ‘One Love’. Here are our suggestions for the perfect vacation to help you come back to your best self.

Get a new perspective 

Make no apologies and escape to the softest white sand on the stunning Seven Mile Beach in Negril. It’s the perfect place to put up your feet and sip a well-deserved cocktail. There’s always a party on at Rick’s Café with great food, music, and for the daredevils, cliff jumping. Get new perspective when you explore underwater worlds at dive sites along the island’s coast. From coral reefs to shipwrecks, there’s so much to take in. For the un-initiated, many hotels offer SCUBA certification right on property.

Explore underwater worlds off the coast of Negril

Back on land, get into good spirits on Jamaica’s South Coast at the Appleton Estate Historical Rum Tour. Learn the history and craft of one of the world's finest rums. It’s the perfect reminder that good things take time. Stay close by at Jake’s Hotel in Treasure Beach – known for its bohemian decor and drama-free vibes. There’s truly nothing like a getaway on the rugged South Coast. Authentic and unique, the spirit of the community in Treasure Beach beckons visitors to a gentler and more connected way of life.

Disconnect and re-center

Port Antonio is secluded, lush, and opulent. It’s under an hour away from the nearest international airport, yet set apart from the hustle and bustle of Kingston or Montego Bay. You’ll find private villas that open out onto the famous Blue Lagoon and boutique hotels offering one-of-a-kind tailored experiences to heal what ails you. Stay in a cabin tucked into the rainforest at Geejam Hotel. The hotel’s rooms and villas are beautifully outfitted with contemporary Jamaican art that design-minded travellers will delight in. Enjoy your meals at the Bushbar restaurant. It’s a sexy and laidback spot overlooking the infinity pool with views of the sea.

After breakfast, head over to the enchanting Frenchman’s Cove, arguably the most beautiful beach on the island. In the afternoon, be captivated by the beauty of the island as you take in River Rafting – a must-do experience in Jamaica. Float along the Rio Grande on a bamboo raft as the cool waters make their way from the Blue Mountains to the Caribbean Sea. It’s an incredible way to slow down and savour the moment.

On the other side of the Blue Mountain range, the Strawberry Hill Hotel is nestled in the hills above Kingston. The property was once the personal retreat of Reggae legend, Bob Marley. It was where he and the Wailers went after the assassination attempt in 1976. In a time of turmoil and confusion, it was here that the artist recovered and sought peace. That natural mystic still blows through the air at Strawberry Hill. It’s the perfect place to enjoy sunset cocktails with incredible views of the capital city.
