ISLAND
Negril Hotels Jamaica
One thing about Negril that sets it apart from the rest of Jamaica and the rest of the Caribbean is the Seven Mile Beach. It is genuinely seven miles of white powdery sand where you’ll find all-inclusive resorts with manicured lawns, yummy beachfront cafes, lively rum bars, and local vendors. It is impossible to visit Negril and not interact with local artisans and craftsmen (and craftswomen), and that’s a good thing.
As perfect as the beach is, the cliffs of Negril are just as enticing. Rough, gray, rocky cliffs fall into a bright, deep turquoise sea. When the tide comes in, and the waves crash against the rocks, you are reminded of your fragility and the power of mother nature. When you stay at a hotel on the cliffs, the crashing waves will lull you into a deep sleep at night. The cliffs of Negril are romantic and serene, which is why you’ll find most of the adults-only beachfront Caribbean resorts located here. Privacy is easy, and yet if you want to socialize, there are a few notable cliffside beach bars that provide the perfect perch to take in one of Negril’s famous sunsets.
For a true snapshot of Jamaica, visit Negril. A few nights at one of the best hotels in Negril, Jamaica, pair well with a few nights elsewhere on the island, and our team of advisors can craft a beautiful itinerary that will give you the best of what Jamaica has to offer.
