If you are planning to go to the Caribbean for a vacation, then Jamaica should be high on your list of Caribbean destinations. Whether you are traveling with your family or friends, this island is guaranteed to turn your vacation into an unforgettable experience. There is so much to see and do that a little advance planning will go a long way. Beaches certainly form a significant part of Jamaica’s tourist attractions and the two resorts of Negril and Montego Bay are home to quite a few popular beaches.
Negril Beach, or often known as Seven Mile Beach due to its length, is a popular seaside resort. The restaurants, bars and pubs attract tourists and locals alike throughout the day. The beach is safe and suitable for a refreshing swim, snorkel or diving tour.
The other popular seaside resort is Mondego Bay, which also has several interesting beaches and dive sites. Founded in 1906 by a group of doctors and even named after them, Doctor’s Cave Beach is a popular bathing spot and the waters here are known to possess healing powers. The crystal clear waters are fed by mineral springs and are generally between 78 and 84 degrees F. The bathing spot also contains a couple of dining options, changing rooms, and showers.
Another must-see site is Dunn’s River Falls, which is a majestic 600-foot waterfall that cascades gracefully, crisscrossing small slippery steps before merging into the deep blue sea. You can enjoy the majestic site from a distance or even dare to climb the falls with the help of an experienced guide, or swim in small whirlpools.
Who can forget the famous Bob Marley or the James Bond novels? Visit the home and museums of these two great legends at the Ocho Rios resort. Take a tour of Bob Marley’s famous mausoleum or enjoy the magnificent natural surroundings with a ride on the Chukka Cove Zion Bus. James Bond fans can visit the famous Goldeneye estate where Ian Fleming wrote his legendary spy series.
Last but definitely not least is the capital Kingston, which also has a number of interesting attractions, including the 120-year-old Devon House heritage site, known for hosting events even now. Also the coffee plantations dating back two centuries are another well-known site that gives you an insight into the lifestyle of yesteryear.
With so much to see and absorb, it’s not surprising that most visitors choose to stay in one of Jamaica’s villas, where you can stay as long as you like and still feel right at home. Vacation villas in Jamaica are an ideal combination of hotel and home, combining the luxuries of a hotel with the privacy and space that only a home can provide. Vacation villas in Jamaica allow you to live like the locals and gain first-hand insight into their lifestyles, while providing all the comforts you’re used to at home. While in Jamaica, you can visit Silver Sands, an exclusive villa complex with cabins and apartments that surround the beautiful white sand beach. Silver Sands vacation villas are decorated, furnished and equipped with all the modern conveniences to make your vacation especially memorable.
