All-Inclusive Adults-Only Resort on Private Beach in Jamaica

Along Jamaica’s northern coast, the famous Dunn’s River Falls flows down 600 feet of tiered ledges before spilling into the Caribbean Sea. A few minutes west, the four-star Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa pays homage to its namesake with its own terraced waterfall that empties into a massive pool. Named one of the best all-inclusive Caribbean resorts in TripAdvisor’s 2013 Travelers’ Choice awards, this adults-only property occupies a prime spot along the coastline.

At the Falls pool—one of two onsite pools—concierges will wade in waist-deep water to deliver fruit kebabs and cocktails. Kayak rentals are available for those who’d like to explore the Caribbean, and you can also go windsurfing, snorkeling, or water-skiing. Afterward, you can head to the Radiant Spa for relaxing body treatments that incorporate Jamaican ingredients such as sugarcane, Blue Mountain coffee, and crushed coral.

Throughout the day, the resort’s casual and formal restaurants serve an eclectic range of international cuisine. At The Jade Samurai, teppanyaki chefs twirl knives tableside; the cooks at Platinum craft jerk-chicken spring rolls and other Caribbean-inspired dishes. At night, retire to a colonial-themed room, where you’ll find a four-poster mahogany bed and tiled floors. Choose a Sapphire room for nice views of either the sea or the mountains.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica: Famed Waterfall and World-Class Shopping

When inaugural Bond girl Ursula Andress emerged from the waves off the shores of Ocho Rios, she helped capture the appeal of Jamaica’s north coast in just a few frames. That iconic scene from Dr. No showed off the region’s green landscapes, rolling hills, and palm-studded beaches. The picturesque scenery hasn’t changed much since the movie was shot here in the 1960s. Visitors today can even visit some of the film locations, including James Bond Beach and Dunn’s River Falls—a famous waterfall made up of huge natural stairs. On a guided tour, you can scale the 600-foot falls and splash its spray of cool mountain water. There’s also a beach at the base of the falls where you can bask in the sun.

Other outdoor adventures can be found in the colorful world beneath the ocean. Dive sites such as Devil’s Reef contain eels, corals, nurse sharks, and barracuda. For a look at Jamaica’s rainforest, drive south of Ocho Rios to Fern Gully, a scenic drive through a canyon shaded by a canopy of ferns, trees, and lianas. Ocho Rios is also known for its shopping centers, starting with Island Village, a theme-park-like entertainment complex with restaurants, duty-free shops, and retail stores brimming with souvenirs. Ocho Rios also has several local vendors with handcrafted goods—but expect to have to haggle a little bit.
