Discover Jamaica

Explore the protected waters of Montego Bay Marine Park, lounge in the sun and treat yourself to the unique tropical paradise of the Caribbean, with direct flights from London Heathrow throughout the year.

Snap up one of our flights to Jamaica and enjoy the wide mix of attractions this Caribbean destination has on offer. Laze on the white sand beaches of Negril, swim in Montego Bay (Mo' Bay to locals) or stroll through the plentiful coffee plantations. Music is a huge part of Jamaican culture and the island boasts some of the best reggae acts on the planet. It even has its own dedicated festival, Reggae Sumfest, which lights up Mo’ Bay in mid-July. Or head down to Margaritaville, where you'll see steel bands and limbo dancers in most bars and clubs.

Discover Jamaica

The Bob Marley Museum

Visit the King of Reggae’s former home and production studio, now transformed into a museum in his memory. While you're there, make sure you try his favourite dish, irie stew, at Bob’s Café. Music fans should also check out some Jamaican beats in Montego Bay.

Feel your heart race

For adrenaline junkies, swinging through the jungle on a canopy tour is the way to do it. Or if heights don’t appeal, why not rip through the countryside on a quad bike? 

Take a dip

Milk River Spa, a naturally radioactive mineral bath, boasts therapeutic powers for those who take the plunge. But don’t be alarmed, the waters are perfectly safe.

Treasure Beach

Escape the crowds of Mo' Bay and explore the charming fishing village of Treasure Beach. A laid-back atmosphere and spotless shores make it a perfect spot for families and couples. 

Nature's best

One of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world, Dunn’s River Falls is a major attraction. It’s not exactly empty, but the stunning cascades are worth braving the bustle for.
