Why this trip

Seven miles of fine sand, palms behind, and in the evening the sky turns colour over the cliffs: Negril on Jamaica's west coast is a place where the pace slows. «No problem» counts as an attitude here, and that does couples and families good. 7 Mile Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island and suited to calm swimming. At the West End stand the cliffs from which you look out over the sea at sunset, and you will find small restaurants there.

Barney's Botanical Garden offers shade and plants for a quiet morning, the Negril Cliffs invite a stroll. The travel period from November to April brings dry, warm weather. Port Antonio on the north-east coast lies far away and is regarded as the greener, more authentic part of the island, the journey there takes time and needs a plan of its own. If you want to see both, split the trip into two sections and plan the drive in between with a driver.

Private Islands clarifies in a video call how much activity you want and whether Negril remains your only destination. You choose a hotel by its position on the beach and its distance from the town centre.
