Welcome to Jamaica

From each glorious moming sunrise to the setting of the sun, Jamaica presents a kaleidoscope of beauty that has made the island the most precious jewel in the Caribbean. It is a land of unique experiences, inspiring scenery, & a warm, welcoming people.

Bloomfield Great House is a 200-year-old Georgian-style coffee plantation main house built many years before the town of Mandeville was formed in 1838. It was renovated in 1997 by a Jamaican family and an Australian son-in-law, and now houses a fine dining restaurant offering a spectacular view of Mandeville, and the occasional art exhibition and live music concert.

Jamaica is known for its relaxed atmosphere, plenty of sunshine and, of course, its white-sand beaches. One of the most famous, the Seven Mile Beach in Negril, is perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Where the Dunn's River Falls meet the sea, in Ocho Rios, lies a beautiful beach with lush tropical plants as a backdrop. Just east of Ocho Rios is Reggae Vibes Beach with secluded areas where one can come across nesting turtles. James Bond Beach, 20 minutes from Ocho Rios, offers clear waters and beautiful views of the St. Mary mountains.

Dunn's River Falls is one of Jamaica's national treasures. Globally, it is as well known as reggae and equally stimulating. There are few places where the Arawak name "Xayamaca" - land of rivers and springs - is more apt. The Spaniards called the area "Las horreras", the waterfalls or springs and it is truly one of the most beautiful spots on the island. A stone's throw from Ocho Rios, one of Jamaica's fastest growing resort centres, Dunn's River Falls is unique.

Starfish Oils was created out of a dream... a dream to find a way to intertwine work, love and play... a dream to create a Caribbean product, a company, a way of life that was good for the body and nourished the soul. In 1995, that dream began to come true. The result was a unique collection of island-inspired aromatherapy products that evoke the true spirit of the Caribbean.

Guests are picked up in air-conditioned buses from their hotel along Montego Bay’s beautiful North Coast and taken to the famous 6,000 acre Rose Hall Estate. Your adventure begins with a short safety and tour briefing, followed by a demonstration on the use of the bikes. Once everyone has been given their helmets and are comfortable having ridden in the practice ring, you start out on your ten mile round trip fully guided journey to 700 feet above sea level to the beautiful Mount Zion.

A bustling shipping port in the 19th century, Black River was, at that time, one of Jamaica’s grandest and most modern towns. It was the first to receive electricity and to have motorcars, and one of the first to have telephones. Many of Black River’s residents were wealthy merchants who built lavish homes in the town. Boasting a large number of historic buildings, High Street, Black River’s main street, offers a trail back in time.

YS Falls is a nature-based attraction nestled in the foothills of the cockpit country of St. Elizabeth. Enjoy an intimate experience with a spectacular 7-tiered waterfall surrounded by lush vegetation. A tractor drawn jitney takes you through a working thoroughbred horse and cattle farm to the hidden valley - home to the waterfalls. Indulge yourself in a "nature pool" fed by underground and aboveground springs. River tubing offered when river conditions permit.

You don't have to be one to dine at Town House by the Sea, but it is the favourite restaurant of the rich and famous, with a menu designed to meet all taste buds and prices designed to meet all pockets. We opened our doors over thirty years ago and some of the famous guests who have graced our tables are:- Steve McQueen & Dustin Hoffman, Sean Connery, Jerry Lewis, Tony O'Reilly and more.

A testament to Jamaican architecture and philanthropy, the Ward Theatre was a gift of Colonel C. J. Ward , C.M.G.,(right) to the citizens of Kingston in 1912. Declared a national monument on January 7, 2000, the Theatre has a long history encompassing the nation's social, cultural and political lives. Its productions are markers of social history and it has functioned as the National Stage for the Festival Movement. Located in the heart of Kingston, the Ward is the only theatre of its kind in the English-speaking Caribbean.
