Our Jamaica Favourites
Bob Marley Museum, Kingston
Jamaica twin-centre holidays wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Bob Marley Museum nestled in the capital, Kingston. It’s a must-visit for fans of the reggae legend, with the museum paying tribute to the life and career of such a worldwide pop culture icon.

Rose Hall Great House, Montego Bay
Perched on top of a hill overlooking Montego Bay, the Rose Hall Great House is a standing testament to Jamaica's bygone colonial era. As a historic plantation dating back to the 18th century, the best way to experience the house is a guided tour by a local expert who’ll tell tales about its fascinating previous owner, Annie Palmer (known locally as the White Witch of Rose Hall). You’ll wander its grand corridors steeped in tragedy and mystery, catch a glimpse inside its ornate rooms, and admire its Georgian architectural grandeur.
Devon House, Kingston
Built back in the 19th century, Kingston’s Devon House is a beautifully preserved mansion showcasing some of the finest Jamaican Georgian architecture on the islands. Originally built for George Stiebel (Jamaica's first black millionaire), Devon House boasts pristinely manicured grounds, impeccably finished rooms, and a full immersion into the island’s colonial legacy dating back centuries. A visit here is educational and thought-provoking, but it’s also a wonderful way to escape a bustling downtown Kingston and soak up some peace and quiet as you stroll through its garden of ancient trees.
Blue Mountains
The Blue Mountains of Jamaica are a scenic tapestry of emerald-green peaks, majestic hidden waterfalls and high-up panoramic viewpoints that are totally worth the leg workout to get there. Take to a designated trail and soak up the cool misty air whilst setting your sights on the region’s unique flora and fauna, from giant ancient ferns to hummingbirds.
Up for some thrills? One of the best ways to explore the Blue Mountains is to embark on an adventure tour. Join an expert adventurer along a trail of kayaking, hiking, and ziplining across the lush rainforest floor and sky-high treetops. You’ll certainly get your adrenaline pumping as you soar across a network of cables, ropes, and bridges set amongst the canopies. Take a deep breath and leap into Jamaican exhilaration!

Cockpit Country
Cockpit Country is a geological wonder that’s greatly protected thanks to its unique endemic biodiversity — but don’t worry you’re invited to visit, and we highly recommend nature lovers do in order to learn all about its sacred ecological significance.

You can explore the area with a guided tour that’ll take you through the most popular trails and reveal its ecological secrets.

The best ways to experience the area include a guided snorkelling tour or an incredible glass-bottom boat tour sure to please bright-minded youngsters.
Blue Mountains
Jamaica’s majestic Blue Mountain range is a haven for rich biodiversity, home to a plethora of plant and animal species endemic to Jamaica. This makes it a paradise for birdwatchers and hikers looking to explore the numerous trails and wind their way through the landscape of dense forest and gushing waterfalls. And don’t forget to stop by one of the local coffee plantations for a sip of the famous Blue Mountains coffee, known for its mild and smooth taste with aromas of rich chocolate. It’s just what you need to re-energise for the hike back!
Scotchies
Want to sample real and true Jamaican grub? Grab a seat at one of Jamaica’s Scotchies restaurants, located at a few spots including Kingston, Montego Bay, and Ocho Rios. Nothing’s pretentious here. The atmosphere is super relaxed and welcoming, so rock up ready to try some of their famous jerked chicken, pork or fish (some even say it’s the best in all of Jamaica). And to soothe the kick from the scotch bonnet, make sure you order a beachy cocktail to wash it all down.
Miss T’s Kitchen
Miss T’s Kitchen in Ocho Rios is another haven for authentic Jamaican flavours. Guests are welcomed in with open arms to find something that tickles their taste buds on the menu of sandwiches, pastas, chicken dishes, and salads — all with a classic spicy twist.

Jamaica FAQs
It all comes down to personal preferences and what you want most out of your Jamaican experience. The busiest tourist season runs from mid-December to early March as it offers dry and sunny weather — but just know this is when prices and crowds are at their highest too. Jamaican summers are also perfectly suitable for a getaway, but note this is also during the hurricane season which runs from June to November. But don’t worry too much, Caribbean rainfall is nothing like the slog of British rain. It all comes in short bursts of heavy falls with plenty of sunshine to follow.
There are three main airports most holiday-goers choose for their Jamaica multi-centre holidays. Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay is a hub for exploring popular places like Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios. Or if your itinerary includes Kingston and the southeastern part of the island, Kingston’s Norman Manley International Airport is your best bet.
Finally, if you’re focussing solely on Ocho Rios, there’s Ian Fleming International Airport, which provides a more localised entry point to the town. Ultimately it all depends on the specific destination(s) you plan to visit and what your itinerary includes.
Jamaica is on EST time zone while the UK is on GMT, meaning Jamaica is normally 5 hours behind the UK. However, it’s important to remember that this time difference may change and reduce to 4 hours with Daylight Savings Time (which is observed in the UK but not Jamaica).
Depending on the chosen airline, flight path and time of departure, the travel distance between the UK and Jamaica can vary greatly. However, the average flight typically takes around 10 hours.
Getting around in Jamaica depends on how adventurous you are, where you want to go, and whether you’re there long enough to rent a car. If you like having flexibility, renting a car gives you total freedom — but just remember they drive on the left side of the road! Taxis are also available for both short and long trips, plus there are plenty of public buses if you're on a budget. And if you’re a free spirit with a thrill-seeking side, you can also rent bicycles or scooters to venture around the islands on your own accord — but make sure you know the local driving rules for a safe ride.
