Idyllically located to the south of Cuba in the warm Caribbean Sea, rests the lush tropical island nation of Jamaica.
The island has more to offer than just the Rastas, reggae and rum for which it is internationally known. It boasts a fusion of various African, Spanish, British, Indian and Chinese influences, which is expressed in the national motto, 'out of many, one people'.
This exotic hybrid culture offers some wildly adventurous cuisine and some of the world’s most friendly and laidback locals.
Blessed with golden sand beaches, year-round sunshine, verdant rainforests and misty mountains, Jamaica has long been a jewel in the crown of the Caribbean.
From Negril’s glorious Seven-Mile Beach with the majestic Blue Mountain as its backdrop to the boisterous party scene and grand colonial architecture at Montego Bay and the vibrant and edgy capital Kingston, Jamaica is a strikingly diverse and beautiful country which is likely to enchant you at every turn.
