Sightseeing

I highly recommend a day trip to Negril from Montego Bay. Negril's seven mile, white, powdery sand beach is one of the best in Jamaica! I recommend getting to Negril early (around 10 a.m.) and enjoying the beach at Boardwalk Village. I would end the day with a catamaran sunset cruise to the world famous Rick's Cafe with AristoKat Tours.

Caribbean’s top 10 most rustic bars. This bar is in the middle of the ocean...literally. It is about 2 hours drive from the villa and is the perfect way to spend a day in St. Elizabeth on Jamaica’s lesser visited South Coast.

A MUST on a Friday night. This is the place that all of Montego Bay goes on a Friday night for an open-air club scene. The best music and the best drinks in all of Montego Bay.

Newer beach restaurant and bar that's popular with tourists and locals. Open on weekends- great place to get artisan cocktails, watch the sunset and interact with the locals. It is run by local expat brothers who are friendly and happy to provide local recommendations.

Food scene

The best jerked pork in Montego Bay! This gem is located right on Montego Bay's hip strip - just walking distance from other hot spots such as Doctor's Cave Beach and Margaritaville. You MUST also try their special "green jerked sauce" that they make in-house using delicious herbs and spices.

While it may seem strange to try Indian or Thai food in Jamaica, this place is a must visit if you want to try something a little different or eat where the locals eat. They serve both Indian and Thai food dishes. My favorites are the Chili Mushrooms from the Thai menu and Mystic Naan with cheese and raisins from the Indian menu.

Neighborhoods

This is the heartbeat of Montego Bay for visitors! It is the home to world-famous Doctor's Cave Beach as well as popular night and day spot Margaritaville. I would recommend planning a day at the beach. Then strolling along this strip for local souvenir shopping. After you have worked up an appetite, you should head over to the Pork Pit for delicious and authentic Jerk Dishes. Also try the Peppered Shrimp!
