Honeymoon packages in Jamaica
Jamaican honeymoon packages appeal to everyone. Ranging from luxurious 18th century plantation estates, to beachfront cottages where you jump straight into the surf, Jamaica honeymoon locations are all about pampering. Whether you want to comb the beach for seashells, have a luxury spa massage or party all night to the reggae beat, we at The Co-operative Travel guarantee there is a honeymoon destination waiting for you.
Jamaica is about far more than jerk chicken and Bob Marley. Jamaica practically invented all-inclusive luxury holidays, back in the 1950’s. Then, they were the domain of the Hollywood jet set. Today, the VIPs are more likely to be couples arriving for beach weddings and honeymoons.
The best Jamaican honeymoon destinations
Jamaica is bristling with spacious, high-class resorts that haven’t changed since the 1950’s. Many were plantation houses in an earlier era, and continue to have that charm, with panelling and butler service.
Probably the most romantic honeymoon destination on the island is Port Antonio – better known for its Blue Lagoon. This is actually where the 1980 movie of the same name was made, and there is a local legend that the waters, which are amazingly warm given that they are almost 200ft deep, have aphrodisiac powers. If that’s not enough for you, the Aga Khan gave Pelu Island, just off the coast, to his wife as a wedding gift. Unsurprisingly, the Blue Lagoon is a popular excursion on honeymoon packages.
Montego Bay is where the Caribbean love affair started. A hip, sophisticated area characterised as much by its nightclubs and restaurants as its beaches and water sports, a honeymoon package at one of the plantation estates is the last word in luxury. Regular visitors include Paul McCartney, Naomi Campbell and Ralph Lauren – who owns a villa here, and has designed many of the interiors.
Ochos Rios is another fashionable resort, with small self-contained hotel complexes featuring original 1950’s architecture, intimate restaurants and honeymoon suites with 4-posters and Jacuzzi baths. Here, you can visit the stunning caverns, go dolphin swimming, learn to scuba dive – or simply relax on the veranda in a double hammock.
