Experience the Epitome of Luxury in Enchanting Jamaica

London, UK: With brilliant blue seas, sublime beaches and a blistering range of extraordinary things to see and do, Jamaica makes a fantastic holiday for anyone and everyone.

And if this year you have decided you need something extra-special – you’re celebrating perhaps, getting married or engaged, or just because you deserve it – there are few finer places where you can relax and recharge in ultra-comfort, body and soul, than this idyllic island.

Luxury comes in many forms, and Jamaica has it all. Every creature comfort you need is available at a selection of first-class hotels offering superb accommodation, from cottages and villas with private pools to beachfront rooms and spacious suites with oversized balconies and terraces, in picturesque settings by the beach, lush rainforest or with stunning mountain views.

Excellent service means you’ll be well-looked after wherever you choose, allowing you another priceless luxury – unlimited time to reconnect with loved ones.

Pay attention to partners and enjoy some much needed me time, chilling on the beach; having a relaxing massage in the spa perhaps; savouring a delicious meal in a fine-dining restaurant; or sipping a refreshing sundowner cocktail as you watch a shimmering sun set over the Caribbean Sea.

Luxury also means having the opportunity to try some of the extraordinary experiences Jamaica’s best resorts offer, from intimate private dinners in the Caves of Negril, to sweetheart swims in the warm waters of the Blue Lagoon; from adventure climbs up natural waterfalls to unforgettable horse rides along a pristine beach.

Outstanding places to stay

You’ll find wonderful hotels and resorts spread all over the island, each with its own special appeal and wow factors.
