For a family holiday

Jamaica offers plenty to keep kids and adults engaged. Try the family-friendly Montego Bay, with a plethora of activities and all-inclusive resorts that cater both kids and adults. Negril, with its calm waters, is an excellent beach venue as well.

For a couples holiday

For couples searching for a seaside retreat, property villas in Ocho Rios or a luxurious resort in Montego Bay could be worth considering. For the more adventurous, Port Antonio serves an idyllic, less tourist-filled setting.

When to Visit

While Jamaica's tropical climate typically boasts sunshine all year round, the island is particularly perfect to explore between December and April. With scarcely any rainfall and bountiful golden rays, this period is ideal for sun-seekers.

However, to experience Jamaica without the high touristic activity and inflated prices of the high season, visiting between May and November might be a savvy choice. While this time aligns with the island’s hurricane season, storms are rare, and rainfall usually takes the form of mild, quick showers.
