Though Jamaica is a tiny island in the centre of the Caribbean Sea, it stands apart from other destinations on the archipelago. From the raw and gritty cultural and commercial hub of Kingston, to the luxury all-inclusive resorts of Montego Bay, the looming crags of Blue Mountain to the spectacular sandy stretches along the shoreline, Jamaica is dynamic and different in every sense.
Famous for Bob Marley, jerk chicken and dreadlocks, Jamaica has a unique culture with a distinctly African flavour. Smiling people sway to the beats of reggae and rock steady, the air wafts with the spices of jerk seasoning and street food, and tourists and locals alike stroll lazily around town sipping Red Stripe. An island that has something for every taste, the cosmopolitan city centres are a magnet for the chic and stylish, while the basic, beachside huts draw a more bohemian crowd.
Montego Bay, a hub of shops and luxury hotels, is a hotspot for holiday hedonism, where the supercharged nightlife attracts lots of Americans on Spring Break. In comparison, the unspoilt shores of Treasure Beach, sheltered by cliffs that loom 1000ft above the sea, are an idyllic place to relax in tranquillity.
An oasis of spectacular scenery, Jamaica’s landscape ranges from coffee and sugar plantations to swamp-like, croc-infested rivers; palm-fringed sands to rugged mountains; picturesque ports to historical sites. The Dunns River Falls in Ocho Rios - an impressive 600ft high cascade - are a spectacular sight, while the panoramic views from the Blue Mountain Peak are captivating.
