A SPOTLIGHT ON
JAMAICA I
t’s a measure of the way 2020 turned the world upsidedown that even James Bond was stopped in his tracks, but this year finally sees the release of No Time to Die, the third film in the franchise to feature Jamaica. A new James Bond tourist trail links together some of the island’s most famous filming locations, and of course you can stay at the lovely GoldenEye, former home of Bond author Ian Fleming and one of Jamaica’s coolest boutique hotels. Jamaica is one of the biggest islands in the Caribbean, so a twin centre holiday is a great option. British Airways has recently launched a new twice weekly service to Montego Bay, in addition to their existing direct flight to Kingston. Why not combine the sublime beaches of Negril and the West End with the more exclusive north east coast around Port Antonio? Jamaica is also a fabulous family destination, with some seriously high-end hotels catering to larger groups. Our long time favourites include the sophisticated Round Hill, with interiors by Ralph Lauren and a stunning collection of villas offering up to six bedrooms. Half Moon is another great family option, spread over 400 acres and flush with facilities including a championship golf course, equestrian centre, world class spa and the Anancy Children’s Village.
