Jamaica Hotels in Caribbean (29 others)

Jamaica is a vibrant country with a rich variety of attractions both natural and cultural. The classic Caribbean attractions of palm-lined beaches are very much in evidence on this large island, but Jamaica is also spectacularly beautiful. The capital city of Kingston is situated on a natural harbour set against the backdrop of the towering Blue Mountains which, on clear mornings, reveal expansive views capturing both the north and south coasts of the island. On the other side of the island you will find Negril, a former port frequented by pirates and slave traders, which in recent years has emerged as one of Jamaica's most idyllic beachside resorts, blessed with an unbroken, seven-mile stretch of pure white sand (as well as an environmental movement that is actively committed to keeping it that way).

Jamaica is famously a nation of “one people” formed from many backgrounds. It is this diversity that has created a unique culture with influences from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, have all helped to shape the culture, creating one that is uniquely Jamaican, from its music to its art and much more. When visiting the island home, take time to experience the Jamaican culture… it’s what sets the island apart from other Caribbean destinations.

  5. Strawberry Hill Resort

    Jamaica, Caribbean

    Strawberry Hill is a former coffee plantation perched on a plateau 3,100 feet above sea level. It looks down on the sprawling city of Kingston below and the blue-green waters of the Caribbean beyond.

    The architecture and design of Strawberry Hill’s twelve guest villas are stunning. With their awnings, verandas and mountain vistas, they are apparently a self-contained world set apart from local life. But in fact the place continues to play a role in Jamaican society – key members of Kingston’s urban set make the forty-five minute drive to the renowned restaurant each week to eat, discuss and linger until sunset.

    Aside from the food, the spectacular location and the cool temperatures, Strawberry Hill is also renowned as an Aveda spa.

    Colonial plantation style meets island cool in the misty blue mountains of Jamaica.
