Jamaica Holidays
Much more than rum and reggae
There’s more to Jamaica than rum and reggae: with its beautiful beaches, lively nightlife and layers of history, this island life is the epitome of laidback luxury.
Ease yourself into the Jamaican ‘take-it-easy’ attitude at Old Hospital Park in Montego Bay for a relaxing stroll along the strip and embrace the local culture by visiting the home and birthplace of legendary Bob Marley. For those after a bit more action, head to Negril; Ricks Café is a great hangout while Ocho Rios offers a wealth of activities and action-packed resorts for the whole family, including Dunn’s River Falls just waiting to be explored.
We recommend paying a visit to an old plantation house for a tasty of history and exploring the Blue Mountains before ending the day looking out at a stunning Caribbean sunset with a rum cocktail in hand. You won’t have to worry about a thing when visiting this slice of paradise.

Top Tips from our Experts
Katie
Destination Specialist
“The birthplace of jerk chicken and Bob Marley. Why not see the highlights of Jamaica on our full day excursion which visits Nine Mile where Marley was born and buried? It then takes you to the Mausoleum, followed by a jerk lunch, and finally to Dunn’s River Falls".
Rozario
Destination Specialist
“For a great night out in Montego Bay, try the fresh fish at Fishbone – just off the main strip, it’s one of the best spots to sample real and traditional Jamaican food".
Martyn
Destination Manager
: “If visiting Dunn’s River Falls, remember to take sea shoes with you to avoid slipping over, also bring a waterproof camera as professional photos can be expensive there".
