Nestled between the famed Blue Mountains and one of the world’s largest natural harbours is Jamaica’s vibrant capital. A city of two halves, Kingston will excite you with its distinct natural beauty and cosmopolitan flair. Whether it’s cultural pursuits, nature activities, exquisite fare or fabulous shopping, Kingston has it all.
You will also find the loveliest boutique hotels in the Blue Mountains just outside of Kingston. These hotels offer luxury retreats and delicate eats far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city yet close enough to explore the eclectic town.
Referred to as “the lungs of eastern Jamaica, the Blue & John Crow Mountains National Park conserves about 100,000 acres of tropical rain-forest in the north-east of Jamaica. Established in 1993, the park is Jamaica’s one and only national park.It has since 2015 been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park stretches across four of the island’s eastern parishes: St. Andrew, Portland, St. Thomas and St. Mary.
Blue Mountains have been noted as prime locations from which to view much of the island’s flora and fauna, including the world-renowned Blue Mountain Coffee, which thrives in the cool, misty upper reaches of the mountains.
