If you are looking for a holiday with picture postcard beaches, unbeatable weather, rich culture, infectious music and delicious island cuisine topped of with friendly, welcoming locals then look no further than Jamaica.

You'll be hard pushed to find a location that satisfies all your dream holiday wishes in one. Where you can laze on a white sandy beach by day and dance to the intoxicating rhythms of a steel band by night. Then explore breathtaking countryside and encounter colourful marine and wildlife before discovering one of the islands many breathtaking waterfalls.

Jamaica is a rich blend of beautiful landscape and exciting culture with a friendly, laid-back feel and a welcoming atmosphere. It may be the third largest of the Caribbean islands and the third most populated English speaking country of the Americas (after the USA and Canada) but holidaying in Jamaica will leave you far away from the hustle and bustle of back home, instead replacing it with calm and relaxation under the sun, topped off with a pinch of Jamaican spice!

Flights from the UK take approximately 10 hours
