Jamaica Luxury Vacations

Sandals Royal Plantation, first known as just Royal Plantation and open to couples and singles, is the first boutique resort opened by the chain. It now comes under the couples-only Sandals label, but has not lost any of its luxuries. This all-suite property in Ocho Rios only has 74 rooms and they are all suites, offering butler service -- even on the beach. Sandals Royal Plantation’s Le Papillon French-Caribbean restaurant offers white glove service that rivals Michelin star restaurants.

Half Moon Resort has taken the suite one step further by offering beachfront spa suites in Montego Bay. If guests want more privacy than the 68,000-square-foot Fern Tree Spa, these suites are as large as 1,000 square feet and have private spa studios that offer views of the Caribbean Sea. The suites include a chroma-therapy massage tub that releases color and light, rain showers, therapedic custom-made memory beds, and bedside lamps made from hand-blow glass.

The Palmyra will provide you with a luxury vacation in a private villa overlooking the sea in Montego Bay. The lavish apartments come with everything you expect in a first-class resort, including private butlers, 54 holes of golf, snorkeling, 24-hour-room service, a health club with personal trainers and babysitting service. This resort has been named one of the top luxury vacations by the Kiwi Collection and Leading Hotels of the World.

Round Hill Hotel and Villas is a vacation resort for the luxury-minded, with a double-edge infinity pool that edges into the Caribbean Sea. Complimentary tennis, diving and deep sea fishing are just a few of the amenities here. You can even charter your own yacht. The Round Hill’s Pineapple House offers villas with up to six bedrooms. An Elemis Spa, business center, beauty salon, fitness center and library are also on the premises.
