Jamaica Inn 

An intimate escape

A relaxing family retreat with an authentic vibe on a private beach in Ocho Rios

The epitome of relaxation, Jamaica’s Inn is where you come to switch off. Giving you a more intimate alternative to some of Jamaica’s larger resorts and with warm service provided 24/7, the luxury hotel embodies that ‘home away from home’ feeling. Alongside family-friendly cottages and honeymoon-worthy suites, you’ll find the hotel’s private beach with 700 feet of the whitest sands and bluest waters. Exclusively for guests, the palapa thatch umbrellas provide the perfect spot for a snooze whilst the Caribbean Sea is calling out for kayaking. Another stand-out feature is the spa where you can soak your muscles in a saltwater sea bath with ocean views. If that wasn’t enough, there’s also numerous activities on offer, from cooking demonstrations to yoga classes and croquet.

Why we love Jamaica Inn

  • Serving guests since 1958, you’ll be staying in a slice of Jamaica’s history. Former guests include Errol Flynn, Marilyn Monroe and Sir Winston Churchill

  • Relax in the natural rock pool before a treatment at the spa

  • On Saturday afternoons, head to Teddy’s Beach Bar for a lesson in croquet accompanied by a glass of rosé

  • Every Thursday night you can enjoy a special Bond movie screening on the beach

Foodies won’t be disappointed by the culinary offering at Jamaica Inn, with two restaurants serving up an extensive selection of both authentic Jamaican and international fare. Sea Shanty is the place to be for breakfast and lunch, set directly over the Caribbean Sea, so close you can feed the fish! Although, if you’d rather start your day with breakfast in bed on your oversized verandah or on a floating tray in your private plunge pool, that’s an option too. The Terrace restaurant, where dinner is served, is an al-fresco affair with live music every night and features an ever-changing five-course menu. Teddy’s Beach Grill also covers lunch and occasional dinners. A more laid-back option, you can dine on the sand with local dishes straight from the grill or pizzas perfected in the wood-fire oven. If you can take yourself away from the beach or the pool, complimentary high-tea is also served daily on the terrace.

Sea Shanty
The culinary hotspot at all times of the day. Start the day off right with an island breakfast and Jamaican staple dishes for lunch.

Teddy’s Beach Grill
Informal dining directly on the beach enjoy some authentic Caribbean classics straight from the grill.

The Terrace
Serving afternoon tea with light sandwiches and grab a signature cocktail in the evenings - we would recommend trying the famous Vesper Martini.

The Terrace Restaurant
Al fresco candlelit dinner under the stars with live music every evening whilst you feat on a five-course menu.
