Summer Sun and Lavish Luxury in Jamaica

The Jamaica Inn is one of the outstanding boutique hotels on the beautiful Caribbean island. Located on a picture-postcard beach in Ocho Rios, the Jamaica Inn has been welcoming discerning travellers looking for that "something extra" for over 50 years. In true Caribbean style, guests are treated with the utmost care, and a relaxed informal atmosphere is complemented by an exceptional service.

This is one of the most popular of the Caribbean islands. It is the third largest overall and the largest English-speaking island. The landscape is beautiful and somewhat diverse and includes long stretches of gorgeous sandy beaches, numerous rivers, lush mountains and rugged rocky cliff tops. It is this diversity that draws thousands of people to experience the natural beauty and relaxed pace of the island, as well as the fascinating history and rich cultural heritage that envelops it. Your holiday will see you sipping local coffee on the beach, enjoying the delicious spicy Jerk Chicken, and tapping to the beat of the famous Reggae music that drifts from around every corner in the charming towns here.

Discover the Jamaica Inn

This hotel is the perfect choice for those looking to relax, unwind and treat themselves to a little Caribbean luxury. The peaceful location and the stunning grounds typify this boutique accommodation, and the en suite rooms and contemporary restaurants and relaxation areas are beautifully furnished in an informal style. It is family run and the attention to detail in every aspect is second to none. Boasting a private beach as well as an ocean spa, the hotel epitomises decadence.

From your exquisitely decorated suite - characteristically light and airy, and equipped with mini bar and balcony - you can wander down onto the beach or indulge in a delicious cocktail at the bar. It is, in fact, the balconies that set this hotel apart from the rest. Every suite offers a huge open private balcony, perfect for lying back with a book or enjoying a little room service at any time of the day.

While tranquillity and peace is found in abundance at the Jamaica Inn, for those wanting a little more action on their holiday, there are plenty of options not very far away. How about trying a little rafting on the Rio Grande or heading out for a walk up to the Dunn River Falls? Bikes can be hired and offer a great way to explore the Blue Mountains, and if you are into horse riding, you will not be disappointed with the options to be found.

There is so much to do that there will be something to suit everyone. The endless beauty and perfect weather combined with the abundance of outdoor adventures, great food and vibrant social scene create a genuinely idyllic holiday destination.
