Essential Jamaica: Must Dos on your Jamaica Holiday

Planning a trip to Jamaica may be a once in a lifetime experience so you better be ready for it. Getting the most out of each and every day will be essential to ensure you remember it for a lifetime. Begin by booking into a luxury Jamaican villa rental and plan your itinerary keeping in mind our must dos from below.

Swim with Dolphins

There are plenty of places you can swim with dolphins but a visit to Dolphin Cove in Ocho Rios will stay with you forever. You can enjoy all the fun of the jungle trail and take a dip in the crystal clear waters with the dolphins or even join the stingrays for a slower, more relaxing dip.

Tour the Canopies

See Jamaica from the tops of the trees with a swing through the jungle canopy. Make like a monkey and be amazed by the stunning scenery in both Montega Bay and Ocho Rios. Both places also offer exhilarating quad biking if being up so high isn’t your cup of tea.

Head to Rick’s

Rick’s Café is a Jamaican legend. You can tuck into an infamous Monster Rum Punch and settle down to watch the burning hot sun set in the sky. Before getting too sozzled you could even take a thrilling dive off the cliffs.

Try Scotchie’s Chicken

Scotchie’s Jerk Chicken has been named the best in Jamaica time and again. In the heart of Montego Bay it offers your simple, no-nonsense Jamaica jerk at great prices and with the warm welcome you’ll feel across the isle.

These are our top tips for getting the most out of your Jamaican holiday. Enjoy the scenery, the wildlife and the cuisine.

Hidden Caribbean Gems for your Winter Break

Visiting the Caribbean in the winter is one certain way of getting away from the colder climes in the UK. Choosing the golden sandy beaches of the West Indies is truly going to be a fantastic way of getting away from it all. You can book into one of many luxurious Caribbean villas but once you get there, it’s sometimes nice to see things a little differently. Check out these hidden gems which will make your winter break even more memorable.

Culebra

Culebra is in Puerto Rico and can be reached via a ferry ride of approximately 90 minutes from Fajardo. Culebra is far more rural than its next door neighbour Viegues. You may see all kinds of naturally beautiful sights including wild horses and it’s rumoured to have the best beaches in the world. Expect unrivalled levels of hospitality from the isle’s friendly restaurant owners and bar staff.

Saba

Saba is actually affiliated officially to The Netherlands. It sits to the south of St. Maarten and has just one beach but its quality really is of the highest, stunning quality. The population of the whole area has yet to hit 2000 and you can explore some absolutely awe-inspiring rock formations.

Eleuthera

Situated in The Bahamas, Eluethera offers a truly laid back, slowed down pace of living. Just two miles long you can enjoy the unique pink sandy beaches and jaw dropping cliffs where the oceans meet the rocks. The southernmost point of the island is worth visiting for a truly intimate and secluded beach experience. 

Try Thai Cooking in Koh Samui

Visiting Koh Samui is probably a break you’ve chosen because of the beaches and the exotic culture but have you thought about the cuisine? You will undoubtedly taste the delights of the island’s wonderful cooking but what about trying to make it yourself?

If you rent your own private Samui villa you can even try out the cooking at home once you’ve 

had a Masterclass of course.

Once you’ve tried out all the wonderful delights of Thai cuisine, take the chance to learn how to do it yourself. Cooking schools across the isle will help you learn to make tom yam, somtam, phad thai, classic Thai stir fries, spicy salads and flavourful clear soups.

You can enjoy classics at most Thai cookery schools run programmes on a regular daily basis and you can enjoy between 90 minutes and three hours of intensive hands-on learning. If you are intensely interested in the food of Thailand you can even book onto courses lasting longer than a week.

The instructors at Thai cooking schools are professionals – many will have been chefs for many years whilst others will be trained tutors who are dedicated to teaching others. They all speak wonderful English and utilise their experience to help students feel relaxed and enjoy the experience.

As well as experiences new foods you’ll also be able to play with a wide range of different utensils and cooking methods. At the end of the event you may have a meal to take back to your villa and you’ll definitely have a whole wealth of new knowledge you’ll be ready to practice.
