As honeymoon destinations go, Jamaica tops a lot of lists. And it’s not hard to see why – its perfect white sand beaches and friendly locals make a compelling case.
But Jamaica has so much more to offer than that. So whether you’re planning a honeymoon (or a familymoon – a honeymoon that includes your kids), consider the following suggestions. Do so, and your holiday will be a thrilling one.
Experience Dunn’s River Falls
There are few things more romantic than a spectacular waterfall. And in Jamaica, none are more impressive than Dunn’s River Falls. Standing 180 feet above its gorge, it’s enough to just marvel at its beauty.
But this waterfall is composed of a long series of limestone terraces. As well, the water flowing over them is shallow enough for fit individuals to negotiate. Because of this, it’s possible to climb the waterfall in about an hour and a half.
Once you’re finished, an onsite restaurant offers a place to refuel and refresh. Or you could just head back to Beaches Ocho Rios, as this popular all-inclusive resort is only a few miles away.
Go Rafting on the Martha Brae River
Imagine drifting down an emerald green river, with the dense Jamaican jungle surrounding you. If you go rafting on the Martha Brae River, that’s exactly what you’ll encounter. Now, this isn’t some chintzy tourist trap – celebrities such as Queen Elizabeth II, Chuck Norris, and Usain Bolt have gone down this river.
As you slip over these tranquil waters on your bamboo raft, your guide will talk about the surrounding area and the legend of Martha Brae. At the end of your ride, tour a herb garden that contains species that are native to Jamaica.
Chill Out on Seven Mile Beach – and at Beaches Negril
But at some point, you’ll want to do some serious relaxation. Planning weddings takes a lot of effort, so you and your new spouse deserve a break. In Jamaica, there is no better spot to chill than on Seven Mile Beach.
One of the best all-inclusive resorts in the country – Beaches Negril – can be found here. And it’s no wonder – with some of the softest, whitest sand in Jamaica, Seven Mile is prime oceanfront real estate.
When you’ve gotten your fill of sun, sand, and surf, head back to your suite. If you didn’t finish it on the first day, enjoy more of the complimentary champagne that Beaches provides all Honeymooners. And if you haven’t, order flowers + breakfast in bed for the following morning. Imagine the surprise on your spouse’s face!
Let Jamaica’s Charm Win You Over
