A romantic break doesn’t have to be about visiting art galleries or spending a fortune on candlelit dinners. Why not bin the clichés and book a holiday that you will remember forever?
Jamaica’s laid-back attitude combined with its diverse landscape, colourful history and irresistible reggae rhythm provides the perfect recipe for the most romantic getaway of your lives.
Why not start your holiday relaxing on the blissful white sand beaches of Negril? You can enjoy a romantic dinner of freshly-caught fish as you watch the sun melt into the sea. Afterwards, lose yourself to the beat of live music as you dance barefoot deep into the night.
You could laze the day away on a bamboo raft drifting down the Martha Brae River taking in the views of Jamaica’s lush countryside, while sipping on an ice-cold Red Stripe beer. Alternatively, take a cruise on the Luminous Lagoon at dusk to see a magical display of naturally occurring phosphorescent lights.
If you have an appetite for adventure, why not climb hand-in-hand up the stunning Dunn’s River Falls in Ocho Rios and then relax on the surrounding beaches made famous by Ursula Andress in Dr. No. For something completely original, try a pulse-quickening ride on the Rainforest Bobsled Jamaica that races through the forest ‘Cool Runnings’ style.
For the experience of a lifetime, visit Dolphin Cove where you can swim with dolphins and even get a wet kiss.
For nature lovers, you can “say it with flowers” in the most spectacular fashion by visiting one of Jamaica’s botanical gardens, such as Shaw Park or Coyaba River Garden in Ocho Rios. Teaming with exotic blooms, plants and waterfalls, our gardens are the perfect place if you want to get lost for hours.
When it comes to accommodation, you can combine supremely comfortable rooms with world-class amenities at all-inclusive resorts such as Breezes and Couples. For the latest in luxury, book a sumptuous suite at Royal Plantation in Ocho Rios.
If you want some pampering, try Fern Tree, the Spa at Half Moon in Montego Bay which blends modern spa techniques with ancient remedies of native herbs and fruits. For a truly romantic experience, enjoy a treatment in a tree house above the sea at KiYara Ocean Spa at Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios.
Jamaica Tourist Board has joined forces with Virgin Holidays to entice couples to book a spontaneous break from only £799* per person.
