Holidays in Jamaica

Jamaica Information

Christopher Columbus once claimed that Jamaica was the most beautiful island he had ever seen and we're sure you'll agree. Discover beautiful sandy beaches, hidden coves, verdant landscapes, gushing waterfalls, deep lush valleys and majestic mountains. One of Jamaica's most popular natural attractions, Dunn's River Falls, located near Ocho Rios, is a stunning 600 foot waterfall which cascades down to the beach. Guided tours take you on a challenging and refreshing climb to the top. Other popular attractions include the Luminous Lagoon near Falmouth, bamboo rafting on the Martha Brae river and the Dolphin Swim at Ocho Rios. Of course, music is everywhere and Jamaica is the birthplace of Reggae's most famous son, Bob Marley. Take a trip to his birth town of Nine Miles to learn more about the life of this local legend. Golf lovers will be pleased to hear that Jamaica is home to several world-class golf courses, including the Caribbean's oldest at Manchester Club. A PGA-quality course can be found at Breezes Runaway Bay.The classic Caribbean attractions of palm-lined beaches and a wide range of water sports are very much in evidence on this large island, but Jamaica is also spectacularly beautiful. Rolling hills contrast with steep gullies and the towering Blue Mountains beg to be explored. Dunn's River Falls is breathtaking - both the view and the climb! The island's strong musical culture is everywhere - Bob Marley's legend and music really does live on here. Do visit Nine Mile - his birthplace. Montego Bay is the best resort to be in if you like it lively - it has a vibrant 'Hip Strip' with a good selection of bars and shops. Negril is more laid-back, spread out along a beautiful 7-mile stretch of golden beach. Ocho Rios is a world-class destination. Larger than Negril, its duty-free shopping is very popular and it's well situated to visit all the major attractions.
