5 Top Attractions of Jamaica

For some hotels, the location speaks for itself, and loudly. This has never been truer than with hotels based on the iconic Caribbean island of Jamaica. The island retains its international lustre as a haven of mesmerising beaches, idyllic tropical jungles, and a festive and famous culture. There are so many fantastic activities to enjoy while staying in a luxury hotel here, but some stand above the rest.

Enjoy the private beach

If you are fortunate enough to stay at the fabulous Jamaica Inn, in the north of the country, you will be spoiled with a private beach. Few things in life are more luxurious than being able to stroll from the ambience of your hotel room to a pristine Caribbean beach that you can enjoy without the tumult of crowds, and purely at your own leisure.

Relax in the seclusion

One of the main highlights of a place like Jamaica Inn is its capacity to afford guests serenity and seclusion. The first-class service and magnificent location of the hotel gives you ample time to while away the days in peace and quiet. Your only worry need be the decision whether to dive into the warm waves or simply recline by the pool.

Marvel at Montego Bay

Once you do decide to spread your wings and step out and explore beyond the horizons of the Jamaica Inn, you will find the marvel of Montego Bay at your disposal. The second largest city in the country, and the stuff of song and legends mingled with history, Montego Bay is ringed by picturesque hills and sparkles with energy fuelled by the cruise-liners, resorts and many bars.

More beaches at Negril

They say you can never have enough of the beaches in the Caribbean! When staying somewhere like the Jamaica Inn, the lure of the best and most famous beaches of the island will entice you, however momentarily, even from the opulence of your beach. With a seven-mile length, the beach at Negril (and its surrounding landscape) is just one that will prove why it is consistently rated as one of the best in the world.

Drink in Dunns River Falls

To enjoy a break from the gorgeous beaches, it is well worth your while to make the trip to see the equally beautiful Dunns River Falls. Drawing many visitors to its uniquely terraced cascades every year, the falls near Ocho Rios are 55 metres high and 180 metres long. The stair-like flow of water, the small natural lagoons, and the final cove and sandy beach where the falls plunge into the Caribbean Sea will surely be one of the visual treats of your stay on the island.
