Holidays to Jamaica
Among all of the islands of the Caribbean, Jamaica is surely the one with the most widely recognised cultural cues, and Jamaica Holidays allow the inspired traveller to experience it all first hand. Musically, we’ve experienced Jamaica through not only the iconic Bob Marley, but the reggae, ska, rocksteady, dub and dancehall music of countless chart-topping artists. The island is also famous for its jerk spice and the fastest man in the world: pretty impressive for a small island in the middle of the Caribbean sea.
Those who embark on Jamaica Holidays looking to soak up as much of Jamaica’s rich culture as possible will definitely be rewarded. Bob Marley fans often make a trip out to the village of Nine Mile in Middlesex county, where his story began and where he was later laid to rest. But the sounds, tastes and smells of modern Jamaica are alive and waiting to be experienced in cities like Kingston and Montego Bay and smaller towns like Port Antonio. If you’re looking to delve into Jamaica’s colonial past, a visit to the historic centre, Spanish Town, is most insightful.
Luxury Holidays to Jamaica
If this is sounding like a lot like hard work, you’ll be relieved to hear that holidays to Jamaica cater to all kinds of tastes. Many of our resorts contain everything you need for an all-inclusive holiday experience, with fantastic pools, spas, golf courses and more. The island of Jamaica is also a fantastic provider for its passionate people: white beaches and outstanding reefs await at Runaway Bay and Ocho Rios. And inland, you’ll find dramatic waterfalls, the stunning peaks of the Blue Mountains and plenty of flora and fauna to spot and study around the wetlands and mountain sides. In short, it’s difficult to focus on any one reason to take a holiday to Jamaica: there are just too many!
