Bob Marley, bobsledding and Red Stripe beer – tell us you’re going on holiday to Jamaica without telling us you’re going on holiday to Jamaica…

An everything island

When you think of Jamaica holidays, you might think of white beaches, spicy jerk and reggae tunes. You’re not far wrong tbh – we’re here for all the Caribbean holiday clichés – but it’s also so much more, so stay with us… Its camera-ready coastline’s primed for your Insta feed with beach bars and swaying palms. But inland, it’s time to flip your crocs into sports mode and go chasing waterfalls, hiking mountains and river rafting. This island does both.

Daytrip destinations

Sun bums can thrive on Jamaica’s class conditions all year round, while other kinds of travel lovers can still get their holiday fix on other parts of the island. Stay in one place or hop around on a bit of a tour – daytrips mean you and the rest of your group can pick your own pace and just catch up at dinner later for a debrief. If you’re the outdoorsy type, make sure you check out the 180-metre cascade of Dunn’s River Falls, near Ocho Rios. Then, Montego Bay – AKA Mo-Bay – is where you can go river rafting and on Jeep safaris. There’s also Negril’s Kool Runnings adventure park, where you can ride waterslides, canoes and go-karts.

Chill in Negril

If your kind of holiday is all about kicking back and relaxing, Negril is where everything is just chill. With its peachy sunsets, ‘no worries’ attitude and famous Seven Mile Beach, it’s Jamaica’s go-to for some real relaxing. It also boasts the best All Inclusive resort in the Caribbean – Couples Negril. A bit further up the coast, Lucea lives the quiet life with its half-empty beaches. And as you’d expect from its name, Runaway Bay‘s another of Jamaica’s more secluded snorkelling spots, with a great coral reef just offshore.
