Jamaica: 4 Day Relaxation Itinerary

  • Day 1: Seven Mile Beach
    30 minutes (3.5 miles) from Montego Bay

    Relax on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, with crystal-clear water and soft, white sand. Take a dip, sunbathe, or read a book under the shade of a palm tree while listening to some reggae tunes.

  • Day 2: Blue Hole Mineral Spring
    1 hour 10 minutes (34 miles) from Seven Mile Beach

    The Blue Hole Mineral Spring is a natural swimming pool with crystal-clear, mineral-rich water. Swim in the refreshing water, sunbathe on a rock or cliff, or try your courage by jumping off a high point.

  • Day 3: YS Falls
    1 hour 35 minutes (53 miles) from Blue Hole Mineral Spring

    YS Falls is a series of seven waterfalls nestled in the forest of a cattle and horse farm. Take a dip in the natural swimming pools, enjoy the thrill of cascading water, or zip line across the falls.

  • Day 4: Rockhouse Hotel
    1 hour 30 minutes (45 miles) from YS Falls

    End your trip in style and relaxation at the Rockhouse Hotel, a luxury resort in Negril. Marvel at the stunning views of the Caribbean Sea from your room or the infinity pool, indulge in a spa treatment, or sip a cocktail on a cliff while watching the sunset.

Transportation

You can rent a car at Montego Bay Airport or hire a taxi for the duration of the trip. Expect to pay around $50 per day for a car rental or $150 per day for a taxi. Roads in Jamaica can be narrow, winding, and have aggressive driving, so be careful and patient. Also, consider getting liability insurance if you rent a car.

Useful Tips

If you have more time, you could visit Dunn's River Falls in Ocho Rios, Luminous Lagoon in Falmouth, or raft down the Rio Grande in Portland. If you have less time, you could skip Blue Hole Mineral Spring or YS Falls and spend more time at Seven Mile Beach or Rockhouse Hotel.

Airports

The main airport in Jamaica is Sangster International Airport (MBJ) in Montego Bay, which is 3 miles northwest of the city center. It's the busiest airport in the English-speaking Caribbean and handles over 4 million passengers per year. Taxis, shuttles, and buses are available to take you to your accommodation or sightseeing.
