More Information Jamaica

Excellent tourist facilities and attractions range from leafy parks to handsome colonial towns and neon-lit nightlife. Negril and Montego Bay are Jamaica’s two main coastal resorts, attracting a mix of tourists with exquisite sands, lively clubs, fine restaurants and world-class golf. Laid-back Negril boasts an 11km (7-mile) beach lined with funky beach bars painted in bubblegum hues. Known to one and all as Mo’ Bay, sizzling Montego Bay has a reputation as a party town, but is also a paradise for shoppers.

Journey a short distance along the coast to discover ‘the real Jamaica’, amidst street markets of ackee, yam and breadfruit and vendors hawking kulu kulu rum. Explore the quaint fishing villages of Treasure Beach, Port Antonio and Oracabessa, sleepy retreats that offer a glimpse of Jamaica’s quieter side.

Music is inherent to Jamaica, be it roots, rock, reggae or reggaeton. In historic Kingston, the island’s spirited capital, grand Georgian plazas and elegant mansions are serenaded by soca rhythms and the pulsating buzz of the city. The Tuff Gong and the Bob Marley Museum celebrate Jamaica’s musical heritage and African roots.
