There’s something truly special about coming home.
Whether you’re based in the US, Canada, or the UK, planning a family reunion in Jamaica should be on your bucket list.
It’s a chance to reconnect with your roots, swap stories over a good meal, and watch the younger generation meet their cousins for the first time.
But choosing the right venue can make all the difference.
You’ll want somewhere that captures the warmth of Jamaican hospitality and offers enough space and amenities to keep everyone in good spirits, especially grandma.
Here are seven venues across Jamaica that offer just that.
Bellefield Great House, Montego Bay
Just 15 minutes from the Sangster International Airport, Bellefield Great House offers a peaceful, historic setting perfect for a family get-together.
This 18th-century estate has a warm, inviting feel with its well-manicured gardens and classic Caribbean architecture.
Families can enjoy a private open-air pavilion for a big lunch or dinner, and the spacious lawns give children room to run and play while the adults relax under the shade of mature trees.
Bellefield also offers catering with traditional Jamaican dishes, so you can spend less time cooking and more time catching up with loved ones.
Chukka Oceanpost Outpost, Sandy Bay
Does your family love adventure?
Then, Chukka’s Ocean Outpost in Sandy Bay is a fantastic option.
This location brings together the thrill of ziplining, horseback riding, river tubing, and access to a private beach.
This venue is ideal for families with a mix of ages.
Those looking for action will have plenty to do, while others can enjoy the lounge areas, ocean views, and on-site bar and grill.
The property is spacious enough to host group meals and family activities, and Chukka’s event team can help customize your day to suit your group’s interests.
Glistening Waters, Falmouth
Glistening Waters is best known for the magical Luminous Lagoon, where the water glows at night.
But beyond that natural wonder, the property also includes a full-service restaurant, marina, and hotel.
This venue makes it easy for families to turn a one-day event into a weekend reunion.
You can reserve space for a group dinner overlooking the water and then take a guided boat tour together as a nighttime activity.
It’s a unique experience that everyone will remember.
Rose Hall Great House, Montego Bay
For families who appreciate history and elegance, Rose Hall Great House provides an awe-inspiring backdrop for a family reunion.
The property features beautifully kept grounds, panoramic views, and the famous Georgian mansion itself, rich with Jamaican folklore.
You can book the outdoor spaces for a formal dinner or cocktail event under the stars, or take the family on a guided tour through the house during the day.
It’s a great way to blend cultural education into the family celebration.
And to save your energy, ask Rose Hall Great House's event planning support to help you pull it all together.
