Jamaica is the third largest of the Caribbean islands, and one of the most attractive. The island's interior is characterised by beautiful mountains and valleys covered in lush tropical vegetation, while the coast has many beautiful beaches, all of which presumably explains why Christopher Columbus once described Jamaica as 'the fairest isle mine eyes ever beheld'. Even better, this fair isle also has a rich history and a vibrant melting-pot culture, which means that Jamaica holidays offer far more than those on many smaller Caribbean islands.

Why visit Jamaica with Original Travel

Home to a vibrant, melting-pot culture and picturesque scenery both inland and on the coast, Jamaica is somewhere our consultants can’t get enough of. From bamboo rafting and deep-sea fishing to historical tours of Kingston and Trenchtown, our itineraries showcase Jamaica as a destination to be explored. We’re constantly on the hunt for locally-owned and exciting properties, including Rastafarian-owned retreats and the old home of Ian Fleming, the author of James Bond. With all that said, if simply sunbathing on a beach is your thing, we can expertly arrange that, too.

"We had a great trip to Jamaica, staying in beautiful hotels and visiting idyllic locations. We received lots of attention and care from our Original Travel advisor and our local concierge. The organisation from start to finish was flawless, the trip felt highly personalised, and the quality of service was second to none both before the trip and while we were away. I really recommend Original Travel for a tailor-made trip to Jamaica."

Our Jamaica
specialists

From the musical streets of Trenchtown to the hiker’s paradise of the Blue Mountains, our travel experts know a thing or two about Jamaica. While you’re away, they’ll put you in touch with our savvy Concierge, who’ll make it their mission to give you a real taste of the island – think authentic Caribbean cuisine and hidden reggae bars. For the more musically inclined, we can organise sessions in a recording studio, while history buffs can learn a thing or two on our guided tour of Kingston. You’ll even relax in style in our Rastafarian retreats that immerse you in the island’s culture.

What you can find in Jamaica that you won't find anywhere else?


We at Original Travel are on something of a mission to dispel any lingering and unfavourable preconceptions about this island, and would heartily recommend a luxury holiday to Jamaica. After all, Columbus approved, and he saw a fair few islands in his time. The beaches are as good as any in the Caribbean, but it's Jamaican culture - from reggae to Rastafarianism - that provides the island's secret sauce. On the subject of secret sauces, you have to brave the spicy jerk chicken sauce perfected over generations in many restaurants and rum shacks across the island. Then work that off on guided walks along beautiful trails through the Blue Mountains, whose peaks make Jamaica one of the hilliest islands in the Caribbean, and which are home to coffee plantations where you can sample another Jamaican staple.
