pristine white sand beaches here my friend; from Holland Bay beach in the East
(St. Thomas) to the amazing Negril 7-mile beach here in the West. Read more on
beaches here.

390Save

choose to get lazy on a beach or raft, or get busy learning about some of our
major historical sites, visit an old plantation or taking on an adventure - like
cliff jumping? seriously :-) .

JAMAICAN FOOD

Jamaican breakfast
390Save

My favourite topic :-)
Well by now you know about Ja'can Jerk right? Or at least the Juicy Ja'can
patties? You should!

But our cuisine extends much wider than those. When you get here be sure you try
both the ackee and saltfish with roasted breadfruit or a J'can steamed fish with
Okra!...yummm! Read more on Jamaican food here)

Roasting Breadfruit

 SPORTS

Usain Bolt celebrating victory

Have you been following track and field lately? If you were, then you don't need
to hear about JA's prowess from me right? Yes, You would've heard of one Usain
Bolt too right?

J'cans stand out wherever they go and in whatever they do - even the few bad
apples. :-) Read more on Jamaican sports here.


CULTURE

So what about about culture? Our motto "Out of Many one People" perhaps provide
the perfect definition and insight into our culture.

That amalgamation has has made us special in so many ways. The areas of Food,
Dance, Music, Folklore, Religion and Language have benefited tremendously from
this amazing blend of cultures.

Jerk - J'can Style
390Save


MUSIC

Reggae music is as synonymous to J'maica as the blue mountain coffee! We
created, nurtured, promote and cherish reggae here. Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff and
Prince Buster are notable contributors to the popularity and success of this
genre.

Of course, Bob Marley became our best known ambassador. But Reggae is not our
only music the traditional folk and mento, are still highly cherished and
favoured.


J'can Drums
390Save


FLORA & FAUNA

The Doctor Bird
390Save

The tropical Caribbean climate facilitates our renowned diverse ecosystems. It
shelters, nurtures and stimulates the beautiful plant and animal life here.

'Christmas' Flower
390Save

It's an often overlooked aspect of Ja's offering. Do take some time to 'smell
the flowers' when you get here.

LAND AND BEAUTY

390Save

When all is said and done, you and I can probably agree that this country is
just a darn beautiful place, wouldn't you? Yes it is. 


Great Pedro Bluff, St. Elizabeth
390Save
Holland Bamboo Avenue
390Save


OUR PEOPLE

Chef 'Mama' - At Club Ambiance Resort
390Save


Forget the beaches, sports, waterfalls and all I mentioned prior. Listen to
this, I actually did a pop quiz here, asking about what makes JA special.

Well guess what was the result? Yup, most of the respondents checked "the
people" - the warmth and sincerity of the Ja'can people. When all is said and
done, the Ja'can people is what exudes the spirit of Jamaica the most.
