Travel to the enchanting island of Jamaica, a Caribbean retreat with gorgeous landscapes ripe for adventures, such as hiking mountains or rafting on rivers. Listen to vendors haggling at outdoor food markets, head to remote coves and inlets and tackle the waves on a surfboard.

Explore Jamaica’s cultural hub, the capital city of Kingston, to find local art galleries and colonial houses. Examine the art at the National Gallery of Jamaica and inspect the beautiful antiques on show at Devon House. Bob Marley’s own wooden house in Kingston now serves as a shrine to the reggae superstar and houses the Bob Marley Museum.

Head to the north to see Montego Bay, which features lush green golf courses, sandy beaches and other natural treasures. In the daytime, board a wooden raft with an experienced guide for a tour of the Martha Brae River. In the evenings, take a boat tour over the Luminous Lagoon to see it light up with glowing microorganisms.

To the east of Montego Bay is Ocho Rios, a forming fishing village turned tourist hotspot with lots of interesting places to shop. Browse gemstones at luxury jewelers and buy local handcrafts from outdoor stalls. Climb up nearby Island Gully Falls to splash about in the sparkling blue pools.

Jamaica is known for its picturesque beaches and watersports. On the east side of the island lies Winnifred Beach, one of Jamaica’s most gorgeous beaches with crystal clear water and fish-filled coral reefs. Stay on the sand and relax under the shade of trees or take a boat trip to nearby Monkey Island.

Three international airports provide plenty of options for tourists visiting Jamaica. Fly into Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston if you’re planning to spend lots of time in the capital. Sangster International Airport is best for Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. Book a small plane into Ian Fleming International Airport if you’re staying on the north coast.
