Negril coastline
Jamaica · West end

Negril

Seven Mile Beach on one side and the cliffs on the other. Negril moves at a different speed to the rest of the island, and it is the coast we recommend most often for couples.

The place

Travel highlights

  • Seven miles of continuous white-sand beach
  • The west end cliffs and the island's best sunsets
  • A strong bench of adults-only and boutique properties
  • Walkable beachfront — you are not confined to one resort

Popular experiences

  • Sunset at the west end cliffs
  • Glass-bottom boat over the reef
  • A day trip to the Blue Hole mineral spring
  • Beachfront dinner with your feet in the sand

Advisor’s notes

  • The transfer from Montego Bay is roughly 90 minutes — build it into your arrival day
  • Beach and cliffs are different holidays; tell us which one you want
  • Seaweed season varies year to year — we check recent reports before recommending

Questions

How long is the drive from the airport?

About 90 minutes from Sangster International. It's a beautiful drive, but worth planning your flight times around.

Beach or cliffs?

Beach for swimming, families and long walks. Cliffs for sunsets, atmosphere and smaller properties. We often split a stay across both.

Is Negril suitable for families?

Certain properties, yes. It skews adult and romantic, so the shortlist matters more here than anywhere else on the island.
