ADVENTURE
Between Jamaica’s high mountain peaks and its offshore coral shelf, nature has worked her own inspired magic, creating hundreds of species found nowhere else on earth. Also, Jamaica has long stretches of water sports, postcard-perfect white sand beaches, as well as black volcanic sands and dramatic cliff-framed coves. Inland, jungle mountains and mangrove forests are laced with racing rivers, waterfalls, and medicinal hot springs all inviting an array of adventures.
CUISINE
Delectable dining takes many forms in Jamaica, from roadside stands to open-air seaside eateries to elegant dining rooms with white-glove-service. Jerk is the traditional slow-cook method of cooking meat in a pimento wood-lined pit and is a regional favorite! And keeping your taste buds in the lap of luxury is easy with Jamaica’s many award-winning fine dining restaurants.
GOLF
Jamaica’s sunny tropical climate and reef-fringed beaches make it ideal for outdoor sports including golf. Each of Jamaica’s golf courses has unique features, and guests at select all-inclusive properties can enjoy complimentary golf including lessons! Montego Bay, with five courses, is considered Jamaica’s golf central.

RESORT AREAS
Negril
Watching the sun set from Negril’s glorious seven-mile stretch of beach, it’s easy to see why people have always flocked to this remote spot at the western tip of Jamaica. The let-it-be, no worries attitude is most felt in the West End area. The area’s first and most famous tourist attraction, Rick’s Cafe has ballooned in size and patronage, but retains its funky feel and sunset cliff diving tradition.
Montego Bay
With its white-sand beaches backed by flower-splashed hillsides, Montego Bay, or MoBay, has been a popular tourism destination since the late 1800s. Today, the modern Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport (MBJ), Historic Falmouth, and brand new Montego Bay Convention Centre along with its unsurpassed variety of unique adventures, experiences and accommodations make Montego Bay the tourism hub for Jamaica and one of the most fascinating destinations in the Caribbean.
Ocho Rios
Fifty years ago, Ocho Rios was a small fishing village. There were a few upscale villas and hideaways for celebrities. In fact, Ocho Rios, or “Ochi,” has become Jamaica’s second largest tourist center. While less developed than Montego Bay, the coastline of Ocho Rios and neighboring Runaway Bay is home to a who’s who of Jamaican all inclusive. Other choices include private staffed villas and chic properties.
South Coast
The South Coast has been called Jamaica’s undiscovered coast and with good reason. Only an hour away from Montego Bay Sangster International Airport, visitors can drive through fishing villages, view miles of beaches and visit great houses and natural waterfalls.
