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.

Set in the jungle on the secluded and unspoilt northeast coast, Geejam is a stone’s throw from the island’s most beautiful and charming beaches, and only a short journey from the island’s most renowned waterfalls. Geejam is an exclusive collection of deluxe cabins and villas with the added street cred of also being a fully fledged recording studio.
Musicians need privacy when they are recording an album, but they also need comfort and inspiration. With room names like Ska, Rocksteady, Drum&Bass this retreat openly celebrates its musical pedigree and the design only amplifies it, with hidden speakers and the fusion of sleek design.
Organic elegance best describes the style of this six acre estate. A duo of three hundred year old fig trees also serve as the foundation of the Bushbar. It’s all a well balanced mix of upscale interiors – Hansgrohe taps, Starck bathtubs –natural environment – the property has its own waterfall -and the “we know how to chill” shabby chic that has come to typify the Island Outpost group.
Music is as much a part of Jamaica as its mountains, beaches and jungle. Combine all these attributes, condense them, and you end up with Geejam

Round Hill is where Jacqueline and JFK spent their honeymoon, where Rodgers and Hammerstein played chess, where Hitchcock got sunburned and where Noel Coward, if egged on enough, would sing for the guests.
After 50 years, Round Hill has a million stories to tell, but most impressive is how little it has changed. The place today offers the same blend of qualities that has always pulled the famous names and faces; namely a well-preserved slice of old Jamaica.
Today you still enjoy its stylish architecture and a predictably colonial pace of life, but with the added pull of an oceanfront spa and refurbished hotel rooms designed for beach living by Ralph Lauren, (perhaps whilst visiting his own villa at Round Hill).
A former pineapple plantation on the outskirts of Montego Bay, what is it about Round Hill that makes it such a magnet?

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.

Perched on craggy cliffs thirty feet above a translucent emerald green sea, this hotel is unique in the Caribbean. The sea caves are filled with the inhabitants of the coral reef: eels, parrot fish and rays. Some of the caves are large enough to take boats into, and of course it's a paradise for diving and snorkelling. Equipment is all included in the room rates; all you have to do is launch yourself into the twenty-foot waters below.
The caves are just part of an experience that is totally Jamaican. From the hand-made wooden furniture to the colourful fabrics and local works of art. The food is wholesome, with an emphasis on fresh fish, Jamaican-style vegetables and tropical fruit. Reggae and blues are played in the thatched cliff-side pavilion where meals are served. There are no televisions; evening entertainment consists of lively conversation enhanced by rum cocktails.
It is a small jungle-clad retreat of thatched timber huts that literally sit on and between some of the most spectacular sea caves in the world.
