Looking for an away-from-it-all escape? Opened in June 2018, this adults-only, all-suite hotel is located on a private peninsula in Montego Bay with two miles of palm-fronted beaches on its doorstep. The hotel takes the concept of “all-inclusive” seriously. While you’re kicking back at one of the beachside or rooftop pools, waiters are on hand to top up your complimentary G&T.
All non-motorised watersports are free too – even introductory scuba lessons. After you’ve worked up an appetite with all this exertion, there’s a variety of restaurants, offering everything from French gourmet dining to takeaway wood-oven pizza to satisfy all tastes.
Go for a stroll along Gloucester Avenue, a trendy section of Montego Bay with cafés, bars and shops buzzing with activity day and night. If you’d rather escape the crowds, head for the island’s lush interior for a visit to the Croydon Plantation, a working estate tucked in the foothills of the Catadupa Mountains.
Take in views of the countryside as you sample homegrown pineapple and sugar cane while learning how they are cultivated (from £50pp, including lunch and hotel transfers, croydonplantation.com).
