Haute Jamaica

Experience unparalleled luxury on an island where soul meets sophistication.

Welcome to Jamaica, where awe-inspiring scenery and bespoke experiences deliver memories that will last a lifetime. From elegant resorts and tailor-made tours to rum tastings and alfresco dinners, Jamaica promises an unrivaled level of service and warm hospitality that will exceed every expectation on your next vacation.

Wining and Dining

From farm tours to rum distillery visits, Jamaica serves up refined culinary experiences for every taste.

History, food and culture come together at Devon House, a 19th-century Caribbean and Georgian mansion originally owned by Jamaica’s first Black millionaire. Today, this gastronomic center in Kingston is home to an array of Jamaican and international eateries, including the world-famous Devon House I-Scream, known for scooping flavors like mango, coffee and seasonal sorrel.

Nestled in the heart of Jamaica’s Blue Mountains, Stush in the Bush is an unforgettable farm-totable destination. Enjoy a tour of the 15-acre organic farm before tucking into a homegrown vegetarian menu, which may include a Jamaican mezze spread with plantain chips and jackfruitseed hummus, on a deck above the tree canopy.

Tucked away in the Nassau Valley, where stalks of sugarcane sway in the breeze, you’ll find the famed Appleton Estate Rum Distillery. The multisensory tasting experience will take you on a spirited walking tour to learn about the distillery’s signature “cane to cocktail” process before capping off with a visit to the tasting room.
