Holidays to Jamaica
Jamaica holidays are one in a million, providing exotic adventures and luxurious sunbathing experiences.
When you think of Jamaica, you probably envision tranquillity, tropical fish and colourful landscapes, as well as delectable local cuisine, which is exactly what you get – and more. All year round, temperatures average between 27 and 28 degrees, although the best time to book Jamaica holidays is in the later months of November and mid-December, for sizzling sunshine and clear blue skies.
Jamaica is a unique holiday destination that incorporates a love for everything local, wherever you roam; it is consequently famous for its delicious jerk cooking and cool reggae sounds. Dine at Jamaican hotspots like Rockhouse Restaurant for traditional Caribbean cuisine, venture over to the spectacular Bob Marley Museum to remember Jamaica’s national hero, or channel your inner Cool Runnings on a bobsledding adventure, with a jungle twist. If you’re looking for a relaxing holiday that combines indulgence with adventure, Jamaica should be at the top of your list.
Jamaica is the perfect year-round retreat, with temperatures hovering around the 30° mark whatever month you choose to visit. Approximately 10 hours flight from the UK, Jamaica is a popular stop-off point for Caribbean cruises which depart from the port of Miami.
