Luxury holidays in Jamaica

An introduction to Jamaica

Luxury holidays in Jamaica are packed full of upmarket hotels, hypnotic reggae beats and, of course, those fabulous rum-based cocktails. From chic boutique hotels and beach bungalows to 5 star hotels and golf resorts, you're bound to find something that tickles your holiday fancy here. But, it goes without saying, that the beautiful beaches are the main reason for luxury travel to Jamaica.

Stretching along the north coast from Negril to Ocho Rios, via Falmouth, you'll find some of the best beaches on the island. All white sands, turquoise waters and swaying palms, they're seaside stunners alright. It's the perfect setting for luxurious holidays in Jamaica.

Away from the shore there's plenty of other ways to fill your time. There are more championship golf courses than you can shake a nine iron at. Stacks of spas that will send you home preened and pampered. And, for a movie star moment, you can even have a drink at the Cruise bar near Port Antonio – it made its debut in the Tom Cruise film, Cocktail.

Food wise, luxury holidays in Jamaica are all about jerk spices, shellfish fresh from the water and tropical fruits that'll make your mouth water. Feast on buttered lobster as you watch the sunset. Nibble fried plantain to take the heat out of jerk pork. Or for a sweet treat, try some raw sugar cane. Wash it all down with a cup of the famous Blue Mountain coffee, it's the perfect way to round off a special meal on luxury holidays in Jamaica.

Exotic holidays to Jamaica are loved by the likes of Tom Cruise, Anthony Hopkins and even the odd British Royal. And, as the old saying goes, what's good for the goose…
