The 8 Best Montego Bay Luxury Hotels

Montego Bay: Paradise Both Fast or Slow

The pearl of Jamaica's north coast is beset with brilliant white sand, bright turquoise sea, high-energy nightlife, and the best luxury resorts and hotels in Montego Bay. But most of your time ends up on the water.

Private yachts drift along the coast and pull into coves that feel far enough removed to be yours alone. The afternoon unfolds with snorkeling the coral reefs, colorful tropical fish swirling around you. And when you're back on land, there's plenty to keep things interesting, like championship golf and relaxing spa treatments designed to take over your entire afternoon.

It can slow down even further with bamboo rafting along the Martha Brae on a river that never rushes. Or it can speed up with a helicopter run along the coastline, where you'll see the entire coast's beauty spread before you before settling back into your own private pocket of it.

In the end, Montego Bay sticks the landing with personalized chef-driven meals, high-energy nightlife on Hip Street, and luxury shopping near Rose Hall. But most importantly, you'll feel your own piece of paradise as you disappear away into your villa where you can do very little, very well.
