Experience why Jamaica is one of the most special places on earth. Immerse yourself in our culture. It's as vibrant as our art, as unique as each sunset and as diverse as our people.

The sights, sounds and flavours unique to Jamaica are enough to satisfy any couples sense of romance. It is a tropical delight with beautiful beaches of powder-soft sand, misty mountain ranges, lush rainforests and tumbling waterfalls - any one of which would make a spectacular backdrop for your wedding day. An eclectic choice of resorts includes Negril with its 7-mile beach and the bustling town of Ocho Rios. All are colourful, vibrant and exotic, getting you into honeymoon mood straightaway!

Montego you like it lively. Not only are your days filled with water sports (and the odd spot of shopping), but the famous 'Hip Strip' here is lined with bars pumping reggae out onto the streets. After a couple of Red Stripes (the local beer) or some Appletons Rum, you won't be able to stop yourself joining the dancing.

Stroll Montego Bay's Gloucester Road and get a sense of Jamaica's vibrant present as well as a picture of her colonial past. With quaint gingerbread architecture merging seamlessly with more modern structures, Montego Bay, Jamaica's second-largest city, allows visitors to dive into the heart of a bustling, Caribbean town. Shop for bargains in the many duty-free stores or sample some distinctive Jamaican lingo as you pass a street side domino game. Pause to marvel at the Georgian buildings or linger the afternoon away in a crafts market. Vivid colours, activity and laughter abound everywhere you turn in Montego Bay inviting you to soak in the warmth and join in the fun.

 Negril is a more laid-back resort spread out along a beautiful 7-mile stretch of golden beach. Here you'll find some great cliff-top bars such as Rick's Café where you can watch daredevil locals diving off the high rocks as the sunsets. At Ocho Rios you can visit Golden eye, the house where Ian Fleming wrote many of the James Bond novels, and Dunn's River Falls, an exquisite mountain waterfall running down to a golden beach, just begs to be climbed (you will get a little wet!).

 Ochos Rios meaning eight rivers, the resort is lush and tropical, set on a bay protected by reefs and covered with sugar cane, coconut and fruit plantations.  Colourful craft markets, plenty of water sports and fine restaurants make this one of Jamaica's most popular resorts.

 Here in this one-love paradise, the perfect, intimate wedding and honeymoon awaits you…

 Climate

One of Jamaica's greatest allures is its idyllic tropical maritime climate. Coastal temperatures average a near-constant 80F to 86F year-round. Temperatures fall steadily with increasing altitude but even in the Blue Mountains average 65F or more. Down by the shore, days are cooled be warm trade winds - known as “doctor breeze”. A less noticeable nocturnal offshore breeze is known locally as 'the undertaker'. Cool 'northers' can also blow December to March, when cold fronts that bring freezing conditions to Florida can affect Jamaica.

Annual rainfall average 78 inches, but there are considerable variations nationwide, with the eastern (or windward) coast receiving considerably more rain than elsewhere on the island. Parts of the John Crow and Blue Mountains receive an average of 300 inches a year. By contrast, the south coast sees little rain and in places is semibarren.

A “rainy season” begins in May or June and extends through November or December, with the heaviest rains in September and October. Rain can fall at any time of year, however, and normally comes in short, heavy showers, often followed by sun.

Although Jamaica lies in the Caribbean “hurricane belt”, relatively few hurricanes touch it. Officially the hurricane season lasts from June 1 to November 30; August and September are peak months.
