Jamaica is famed for its gorgeous beaches, but it’s also a funky, friendly island with lush mountains, a fascinating history and world-class hotels, not least the Sandals Royal Plantation which is tucked away on a pair of secluded private coves near the lively resort of Ocho Rios. 
Recommended place to stay: Sandals Royal Plantation
Sandals Royal Plantation says
Originally built in the 1950s, Sandals Royal Plantation offers just 74 ocean view rooms and suites for couples only with butler service, three gourmet restaurants, a Caviar & Champagne Bar and traditional afternoon tea on the terrace.
This secluded all-inclusive resort is located directly on two private white-sand coves in Ocho Rios. If you can tear yourself away from your private balcony or the beach, you can enjoy complimentary non-motorised watersports, floodlit tennis courts and a 24-hour gym. Green fees at the 18-hole Upton Golf & Country Club are complimentary for guests.
The resort is part of the Royal Plantation Collection, a group of properties located on some of the most secluded beaches in the Caribbean, offering low-key luxury for discerning travellers. Also in Jamaica, we offer four Royal Plantation Private Villas, each handpicked for its exquisite location, with a full complement of staff to ensure you don’t need to lift a finger. Sundown Villa is located right on its own private beach at Discovery Bay; with seven bedrooms, it’s perfect for families or groups of friends travelling together. All-inclusive rates are optional.
Our newest resort is Royal Plantation Island at Fowl Cay, an unspoiled private island retreat in the Bahamian island chain of the Exumas. Stay in a one-, two- or three-bedroom private villa with a fully stocked kitchen. Rates include all meals in the Harbour Club restaurant, drinks and watersports.
