Every visitor looks for different things when choosing a hotel.

For some, the option to smoke is that thing.

While many international resorts have gone completely smoke-free indoors, several properties in Jamaica still provide designated smoking rooms, outdoor areas, or lounges.

These spaces allow guests to enjoy their stay with fewer restrictions, whether that means relaxing on a balcony with a cigarette, unwinding with a cigar, or making use of Jamaica’s cannabis culture in approved areas.

Here’s a look at some of the best smoker-friendly hotels in Jamaica and what they offer.

Hedonism II, Negril

Hedonism II is one of Jamaica’s most liberal resorts, and that extends to smoking.

While you can’t smoke inside the rooms, the resort has plenty of designated spaces where tobacco and cannabis are welcome.

The nude and prude pools, the beach, and outdoor bars all have smoking areas, which makes it easy to enjoy without feeling like you’re sneaking around.

Guests choose this property not only for its smoking flexibility but also for its clothing-optional policy, lively entertainment, and social atmosphere.

If you’re someone who dislikes rules on vacation, Hedonism II is often the top pick.

Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort and Spa, Lucea

Grand Palladium is a massive all-inclusive resort with something for everyone, including smokers.

Smoking rooms are available on request, though limited, and there are outdoor smoking areas near pools, bars, and lounges.

Adults can also enjoy a spa, a casino-style gaming lounge, and several late-night bars.

While the resort is family-friendly, smoking areas are separated from children’s spaces, giving adults room to relax.

It’s a good choice if you want a mix of freedom, entertainment, and resort convenience.

Iberostar Rose Hall Beach, Montego Bay

Iberostar Rose Hall offers smoking rooms in some categories, and many balconies also allow smoking.

Outdoor smoking areas are located near common spaces like pools and restaurants.

This makes it easier for guests who don’t want to walk far.

Iberostar is popular with families and couples who want beachfront comfort, and the smoking flexibility adds extra appeal.

Blue Skies Beach Resort, Negril

This boutique resort sits on Seven Mile Beach and has a more relaxed approach to smoking than many larger hotels.

While the rooms themselves remain smoke-free, outdoor terraces, balconies, and open lounge spaces give guests the freedom to smoke comfortably.

Blue Skies permits the use of marijuana in designated spaces and will recommend nearby dispensaries.

It’s a stylish but flexible option for those who like a balance between freedom and modern design.

Tips for visitors who smoke

Public smoking of both tobacco and cannabis is restricted by law, so it is best to stick to private or designated areas.

Licensed dispensaries such as Kaya Herb House and Epican provide safe lounges where cannabis can be consumed legally when you're not on the hotel property.

Also, it’s important to confirm hotel policies before booking.

Respecting non-smoking zones also ensures everyone can enjoy their stay comfortably.
