Best All-Inclusive Jamaica Resorts for Black Travelers

The combination of Caribbean sun, sea, and hospitality is a winner across all the islands, but Jamaica resorts set a high bar, blending breathtaking natural beauty with fun-packed activities, a relaxed vibe, and mouthwatering cuisine. For Black travelers, a trip to Jamaica may also mean an opportunity to reconnect with historic roots or admire the many examples of Black excellence that have emerged from the rich culture of the Land of Wood and Water.

Here are five of the best all-inclusive Jamaica resorts for the discerning Black traveler.

Montego Bay

With more than 200 rooms set among 400 beautiful acres fronted by 2 miles of private beach, Montego Bay's Half Moon is the archetypal Jamaican all-inclusive getaway. Amenities include a spa and children's village, as well as the Sugar Mill restaurant, "Jamaica's most unforgettable dining experience," per Caribbean Journal.

Westmoreland

Dubbed "the best kept secret in all of Jamaica" by the New York Post, Bluefields Bay Villas is a jaw-dropping sextet of secluded properties on the island's southern coast. Separated from bustling Montego Bay by Jamaica's lush, green Cockpit Country, Bluefields Bay Villas are a world away from the typical resort experience. The vibe is quiet, curated, and serene, with a dedicated staff of chefs, housekeepers, nannies, and a butler to see to your every need.

Oracabessa (and Irish Town)

The original GoldenEye Villa was home to Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond. The property was subsequently taken over by Island Records mogul Chris Blackwell, who added cottages and simple one-room "beach huts" to the compound. To stay at GoldenEye is to immerse yourself in a lifestyle of the rich and famous from a forgotten era. For a break from the restaurants, pools, and gardens, GoldenEye offers Jamaica stays split with the luxurious Blue Mountains retreat, Strawberry Hill.

Negril

A travel guide favorite with good reason, the 26-room Cliff sits on a bluff in Negril, Jamaica's westernmost resort town. You can supplement the all-inclusive experience at this iconic boutique hotel with trips to the nearby 7 Mile Beach and Negril's most famous pastime, river rafting — and stop by Rick's Cafe on the way.

Montego Bay

There are several great all-inclusive resort options in Montego Bay, but only one is attached to the Sugar Mill Falls Water Park. The Dreams Rose Hall property is one of Jamaica's top family-friendly destinations.
