Negril Hotels

Of course, paradise means different things to different people, but Negril has pretty much every taste and attitude covered. Long Bayis the place to hang if you want a wilder nightlife and days spent watching kids hooning past on scooters and ‘Rastas’ blasting reggae from their laptops. For a more laid back vibe, Bloody Bay (don’t be put off by the name) and the West End are where you’ll see the sun swallowed by the sea and know that life is good.

NEGRIL’S TOP 10

NEGRIL EVENTS

July’s Reggae Sumfest prides itself on bringing the best beats and booze.

ATI Weekend in July/August is one of the buzziest and messiest times of year. Negril’s beaches, bars and eateries transform into massive party venues.

December’s Reggae Marathon is another major event, bringing reggae beats, Rasta drumming and red eyes from around the globe.

WHEN TO GO

• Thanks to the tropical Jamaican climate, Negril’s average annual temperature is a sizzling 32ºC (90ºF).
• Avoid holidaying in October if you don’t fancy the humid drizzle.
• Negril’s winters are pretty warm, with winter highs still hovering around 30ºC (86ºF)

GETTING AROUND

• There are a bunch of taxi services and they are probably the best way to move around. Look for ones with red plates.
• Hiring a car is a popular option, although the roads can be a little tricky to navigate. If you’re inexperienced with narrow, winding streets, stick to the taxis.
• Negril is spread out, so unless you can manage a lot of pedal action in the heat, save the cycling for cruising along the beachfront.
