Jamaica is home to some of the world's most luxurious properties offering impeccable, five-star hospitality.

If you prefer to travel light, hate long lines, and desire help that is at your service within a moment's notice, then a five-star resort stay is best for you. 

You'll discover that Jamaica's five-star resorts are ideally located along the coasts of the island, giving you exclusive access to the best ocean views that the island has to offer. 

Best of all, your itinerary can be tailor-made by the resort to suit the unique, bucket-list adventures you have planned for your vacation.

Here's a short list of the top five hotels for luxury travelers to Jamaica. 

Moon Palace Jamaica



Located on two miles of secluded beach just minutes away from downtown Ocho Rios is the 705-suite, five-star Moon Palace Jamaica.

It is a massive all-inclusive that would give any other resort a run for its money when it comes to comfort and features.

Moon Palace only just reopened in 2015 after undergoing major renovations, with amazing marble interiors in an opulent setting.

The resort includes an 18-hole golf course along with a 68,000-square-foot spa that comes at an extra cost. Moon Palace Jamaica also features a basketball court, 11 tennis courts, and four squash courts.

The beach house-inspired rooms come with balconies, and include flat-screen TVs and liquor dispensers.

There are four restaurants, a number of bars on the property and a surf machine, and Dolphin Cove, where you can swim with the dolphins.

The Caves



Undoubtedly one of Jamaica’s most romantic settings, The Caves is an adult-only boutique hotel, featuring 12 unique cottages and suites that are tucked among tropical vegetation on the beautiful cliffs of West End Negril.

There is no beach, but if you wish to stay here, Negril's Seven Mile beach is only minutes away.

A high-quality, locally-focused restaurant, a top-shelf bar, an intimate setting, and incredibly warm staff make The Cave one of Jamaica’s best all-inclusive.

The GoldenEye Resort




GoldenEye is arguably one of Jamaica's most famous properties, being the former home of author Ian Fleming and the place where James Bond was born.

And this 21-room resort is hands down Jamaica’s most stylish resort.

The property features beautifully designed cottages and villas overlooking a lagoon and a private beach, as well as two fine dining restaurants, a tree house spa, two swimming pools, and a number of on-site activities.

The rates might seem really high but those who can afford it will find that it's worth every penny.

Sandals Negril Beach Resort and Spa



Travelers looking to enjoy a large all-inclusive with an abundance of activities and amenities, and a relaxed and Irie vibe on the world's best stretch of beach, then Sandals Negril is your spot.

Situated on the largest secluded stretch of Negril’s seven-mile beach, Sandals Negril is a luxurious and spacious property with beachfront dining, a number of land and watersports activities, and ultimate relaxation and entertainment options to keep guests happy.


Strawberry Hill



This former coffee plantation located on the winding hills of Jamaica’s Blue Mountains is a little getaway from the bustling city of Kingston.

The resort offers plenty of privacy and intimacy with only 12 cottages on more than 26 acres.

The large property also features a spa, an open-air restaurant and bar, a mountaintop pool with unlimited views of the city, gardens, and loads of relaxation spots.

The rates are considerably inexpensive given the property’s top level of luxury.

In addition to five-star hotels, you will find unique, luxury villas in Port Antonio, Ocho Rios, and Montego Bay that will have you wondering if you're still on an island.
