Jamaica

Crescent-shaped beaches and the dramatic Blue Mountains provide the striking backdrop for an escape to Jamaica. Despite becoming independent in 1962, there are many charming reminders of its colonial past - cricket remains an obsession while afternoon tea is a national institution! There's also plenty to see and do - Dunn's River Falls, historic plantation houses, championship golf, every kind of watersport imaginable, the annual Sunfest Reggae Festival. And with classy hotels, impeccable service and world-class recreational facilities, what more could you ask for?
