Jamaica Holidays

With reggae at its heart, Jamaica is the very essence of the Caribbean. Jamaica holidays are perfect for the active as there's much to do beyond the sun-bed. Hike in the misty Blue Mountains - birthplace of the famous aromatic coffee - canter on the beach by moonlight or go rafting down the Martha Brae river, an island sport introduced by Errol Flynn in Jamaica's former glory days.

Whilst on your luxury holiday in Jamaica, visit the Coyaba River Garden and Museum near Ocho Rios, with its exotic botanical gardens and fascinating history of the Arawak Indians. Visit Dunn's River Falls - a 600ft waterfall which you can climb - or see coffee plantations in the Blue Mountains.

Jamaica shopping tips: Choose from hand-loomed fabrics, embroidery, woodcarvings, custom-made rugs and much more. Last but not least, the delicious 'Rumona' is the world's only rum-based liqueur.

Eating out in Jamaica: Jamaican food is hot and spicy. Try the famous Jerk Pork (barbecued spiced meat) and the ubiquitous 'rice 'n' peas', which is actually made with rice, coconut milk and beans, not peas!

The award-winning Half Moon Resort in Montego Bay is a true paradise with tropical gardens, brilliant white sandy beaches and lots of activities including swimming with dolphins. The many children's play areas, children's menus and babysitting service make it an ideal location for family holidays too. Read more about our hotels in Jamaica.
