Jamaica

We all understand the allure of Jamaica's crystal blue waters and white sandy beaches. But look beyond the water and the sand (and the fruity cocktail) and you'll find that this Caribbean Island has a rich cultural heritage that is as engaging as its beaches are relaxing.

Spend an afternoon bargaining with the locals over hand-woven jewel-tone textiles. Dive into some traditional Caribbean food like jerk-chicken, and you'll soon find something hotter than then Jamaican sun. Take a break from the blinding blue of the Caribbean waters and visit the dark earthy green of the Grotto Caves, which were once used to house runaway slaves. After the sun sets, the tranquil colours of the day transform into the metallic golds and vibrant purples of the Jamaican nightlife. Enjoy a shot of tequila or run, then dance the night away grooving to irresistible reggae beats in eclectic clubs and bars.
