Negril, Westmoreland Holidays: Seven Mile Beach Guide
Negril, on the western tip of Jamaica in the parish of Westmoreland, is famous for its long, soft beach and its relaxed, anything-goes mood. For UK couples and families it is a classic Caribbean choice, all warm water, swaying palms and golden sand.
It has a more laid-back, bohemian feel than some resort areas, which is exactly why so many people fall for it.
Where to stay in Negril
Royalton Negril, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort is a five-star all-inclusive set directly on the famous Seven Mile Beach in Negril, a comfortable and well-placed base for a Caribbean week.
Getting there and when to go
UK visitors fly long-haul to Jamaica and transfer west to Negril. The area is warm year round, with the driest and sunniest weather falling in the winter and spring, making it a strong winter-sun option.
Beaches and resorts
The headline is Seven Mile Beach, a long ribbon of soft sand and clear, calm water that ranks among the Caribbean's best known. Sunsets here are a local event, and the gentle shelving water suits families as well as couples.
Food and things to do
Negril's beach bars and restaurants serve jerk dishes, fresh fish and plenty of tropical flavour. Beyond the sand there are sunset cruises, snorkelling and the relaxed reggae-soundtracked pace that the town is known for.
Who it suits
Negril suits couples after a romantic, low-key Caribbean escape and families wanting a safe, sandy beach with the ease of all-inclusive. If a famous beach and a laid-back vibe top your list, it is hard to beat.
