21 things to do on honeymoon in Jamaica

Spend a few hours at Lover's Leap

The soul-stirring legend that has made this Saint Elizabeth natural attraction popular is that of a man and woman slave who foiled their master's plot to separate them by jumping to their death.

The cliff is approximately 1,700 feet in height, granting an elevated view of the majestic Caribbean Sea and the sunset.



Party at Rick's Cafe

While you're on the south coast, head to Negril.

Specifically, head to the vibes central, Rick's Cafe cliffside bar and restaurant.

It is the best place for newlyweds to have some cliff-diving fun while jamming to the pulsating beats of sweet Reggae and Dancehall music.

Have a few cold-served Red Stripe beers, plates of delicious fried fish with steamed bammy or french fries and burgers, and party the night away. 

Make a big splash into blue holes, Ocho Rios & Westmoreland

Other great spots for cliff-diving in Jamaica are Cool Blue Hole in Ocho Rios, Irie Blue Hole in Saint Mary, and the Blue Hole Mineral Spring in Westmoreland.

Cuddle time in the Blue Mountains

Maybe you and your partner want a quieter scene. Get cozy in a cabin in the incredible Blue Mountains of Saint Andrew.

There are a number of cozy cabins and villas in Holywell Park and the Blue Mountain Range for you to choose from. 

The most popular place to stay is Whitfield Hall and Hostel, a 200-year-old house set on a working coffee farm, one of the elite few producing Blue Mountain Coffee - some of the best (and most expensive) coffee in the world.


Take a sunset cruise

Before you leave Jamaica, set sail with your lover into the sunset on Island Routes ‘Lover’s Rock’ catamaran cruise. 

It's a relaxed cocktail party on water that couples usually enjoy. This cruise starts and ends at Dunn's River Falls in Ocho Rios.

Guests are offered light appetizers, unlimited cocktails, and a soothing selection of the best hits for lovers as they tour Jamaican waters.  

Have lunch at Margaritaville

How about trying 52 different flavored margaritas at Margaritaville?

It is one of the best places to have some daytime fun with your partner.

This popular restaurant and bar chain has locations in Montego BayFalmouthOcho Rios, and Negril.

In the evening time, Margaritaville becomes a buzzing nightclub with deejays playing all sorts of music.

Rafting on the Martha Brae, Falmouth

Replace the romantic stroll on the beach with an afternoon river raft on the Martha Brae in Falmouth. 

The three-mile journey along this famous river is one of the most romantic experiences imaginable as the only signs of life are the rushing water against the river rocks, birds chirping, and your partner whispering sweet nothing in your ears. 

Explore the Green Grotto Cave

Is your partner a nature lover? If yes, book the Green Grotto Caves tour and be mesmerized by the sights and sounds of the caves.

Rest in the lounging area created inside this hollow wonderland, and enjoy refreshing snacks with the reassurance of a readily available first-aid attendant.

Candlelit dinner at The Caves

Another fantastic underground experience for lovers is a candlelit dinner at The Caves boutique hotel in Negril. 

Enjoy dinner for two with an all-inclusive menu, made to order, in the magical setting of the caves.

Here's a plus, it's an adults-only property with a strict ‘no guests under 17’ policy, helping make this a top honeymoon choice.

Horseback riding with Chukka

Chukka Caribbean offers incredible horseback riding tours from land to sea and back for you and your boo.  

Dinner on the ocean at Houseboat Grill

Another private dining experience that you and your spouse could try is dinner on a boat.

Literally, Houseboat Grill offers a unique experience of dining on a charming houseboat floating in the sea and then enjoying cocktails on the roof bar will create those lasting honeymoon memories.

Its idyllic location in the Montego Bay Marine Park gives you a beautiful view of the bay while you treat your palates to the delicious tastes of Jamaica.

Lunch at sea, Floyd's Pelican Bar, Saint Elizabeth

This unique dining option is literally on the water. Floyd's Pelican Bar is located a quarter of a mile off Jamaica's south coast.

Enjoy a delicious sampling of the best lobster, shrimp, conch, steamed, fried, and curried fish plates you will ever devour.


Dive in the Blue Lagoon, Port Antonio

If you and your partner want to test your diving skills, head to this water attraction on Jamaica's eastern coast. 

The lagoon alternates between bands of warm seawater that swirl to mix with the cold water pumping from a nearby freshwater river.

Pictured in the famous film Cocktail, starring Tom Cruise, the Blue Lagoon is easily one of Jamaica's most breathtaking attractions.


Climb Dunn's River Falls, Ocho Rios

Put in some leg work with a 45-minute climb up Dunn's River Falls.

This waterfall stands 6,000 feet above sea level, presenting a great opportunity for bonding while hiking uphill to its peak. 

Be sure to wear water shoes as the limestone rocks that line the falls are slippery. 

Go snorkeling, Montego Bay & Negril

If your baecation takes you to Montego Bay, head to Doctor’s Cave Beach for a day of snorkeling with your spouse. Negril is always a great location since the waters are calmer and clear.

If this is the first time you're snorkeling in Jamaican waters, it is best to hire a qualified snorkeling guide. 

A couple's spa day

A couple's spa day is a gift you probably want to unwrap in the first few days of your honeymoon in Jamaica. 

Most resorts on the island have a spa and wellness center on the property with customizable packages for couples.

Or you can choose to visit one of the other established wellness centers such as Eden Garden Wellness Resort & Spa in Kingston, the spa at Strawberry Hill in Irish Town, or Escape to Exhale Spa in Montego Bay.

Chukka Good Hope, Falmouth

Get back to the action with a day of fun at Chukka Good Hope estate, formerly a sugar plantation.

You and your spouse can swing through the trees on a zipline or slide down a slippery water slide or roam the property, discovering the plant and animal life there.

There is also a bar and snack counter on site. 

Visit Rockland Bird Sanctuary, Saint James

You and your partner should make a trip to Rocklands Bird Sanctuary for a day of interacting with the many species of exotic birdlife kept safely there.

In addition to a guided tour of the property, you may be privileged to feed the birds, a moment best recalled with short videos and photos. 

Do a mental reset with Ital Momma, Lethe, Hanover

Before you depart the island, book a weekend couples retreat with Ital Momma in Lethe, Haonver to reset your mind and set valuable intentions for your marriage.

The retreat which includes accommodation at the Animal Farm and Nature Reserve property in Lethe, includes river rafting, yoga and meditation sessions, a tour of the farm on the property, and nature walks. 

Day at the beach

Spend the latter days of your honeymoon in Jamaica doing relaxing activities such as sun tanning at the beach. The Seven Mile Beach stretch in Negril is an ideal location if you're on the west coast.

If you're on the north coast, Doctor's Cave in Montego Bay or Burwood Beach in Falmouth are great. If you're on the east coast, Fort Clarence is a decent spot in Saint Catherine and Frenchman's Cove in Port Antonio is pretty dreamy!

Call ahead of time as some of these facilities charge for entry. 

Stay at an adults-only hotel

Jamaica offers the best adult-only hotel options with maximum access to beautiful sunshine and sandy beaches.

Some of these resorts permit nude bathing or clothing-optional areas for couples to literally take the load off and enjoy each other's company.
