Living the high life in Jamaica

One of the most popular luxury locales in Jamaica is Montego Bay. This hotspot is best known for Doctor’s Cave Beach, named after a doctor who believed the waters held therapeutic healing properties. Restaurants in Montego Bay are also first class, with seafront dining and Jamaican and western-infused menus.

Nearby Negril is home to the famous Seven Mile Beach, and is a hub for many luxury 4* and 5* hotels. It also boasts a stunning coral reef and backdrop of towering cliffs. Venture from here to Trelawny – the home town of the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt. You’ll find the streets and beaches here have that same laid-back and chilled out vibe as the rest of the island. The harbour in Trelawny welcomes some of the largest cruise ships in the world and also has an array of restaurants and shops for you to explore.
