Jamaica

 

RELAXATION: Tropical white sand beach

Jamaica is one of the larger islands in the Caribbean and with its varied and luxuriant landscape is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful.

The Blue Mountains extend from one side of the island to the other and produce some of the most expensive coffee in the world. In addition, there are the vast expanses of white sand beaches, secluded rocky coves, rushing rivers and an abundance of varied species of tropical flowers and birds. Echoes of the British rule remain – a love of cricket, afternoon tea and colonial houses – and blend with the legendary culture of reggae to bring a unique ambiance to this compelling island.

HHotels on Jamaica reflect the distinctive island culture, offering English elegance combined with Jamaican warmth and rhythm. Being a large island with many hotels to choose from, our collection offers a wide choice of accommodation styles. There are small colonial and boutique-style beach retreats and the larger resorts that cater for families with a range of activities for both children and the young at heart. Jamaica has a hotel to suit every requirement and each offers friendly service, excellent cuisine and superb location.

Virgin Atlantic flies to Montego Bay and Kingston twice a week from London Gatwick and British Airways flies to Kingston three times a week.
