People who come to Jamaica always end up wanting to stay longer than they had planned, enchanted by its gorgeous beaches, rich rainforests, and awe-inspiring waterfalls--all of which are quite accessible from their Jamaica villa. However, in addition to spectacular natural scenery, the island also boasts of many wonderful elements that make people come back to spend their holiday here, year after year.
The Coffee
Simply put, its coffee is among the best. Jamaican Blue Coffee, for example, is one of the most expensive and sought-after coffees in the world. Grown in the Blue Mountains region, this coffee is so highly prized that its name is a globally protected trademark. Only coffee certified by the Coffee Industry Board of the island can be labelled as such. Combined with locally grown sugar, it is truly a coffee gourmand's drink of the gods. And while you're at it, try the hot cocoa or 'chocolate tea', as well as various chocolate products. Waking up to these treats in your Jamaica villa is the perfect start to each day.
The Food
Who doesn't love a great meal of jerk chicken (or pork, shrimp, beef--even sausage!) barbecue and pilau or a spicy Jamaican bun? This island's local cuisine showcases a fusion of techniques and flavours from both its indigenous folk and its settlers, such as Chinese, African, and British. Local dishes incorporate the best of the local produce and the freshest seafood. Pair them with freshly harvested coconut milk or the locally produced rum, add the amazing scenery (on the beach, picnicking near a natural waterfalls or in the garden of your Jamaica villa), and the sounds of a local band, and you've got the makings of a truly unforgettable meal.
The Music
There's nothing like the rhythms and visuals of a live reggae band, right on the beach outside your Jamaica villa. Brought to global attention by Bob Marley, reggae, which is widely considered the beginnings of rap music, is perhaps the most popular of the many musical genres to come from the island. These genres include mento, ska, rocksteady, and dub music, and show influences from music from the US (especially folk music), Africa, Spain, and other Caribbean islands. Music fans should especially check out the Reggae Explosion museum on Ocho Rios or the Bob Marley museum at Kingston.
The Sports
The Caribbean offers various sports opportunities, such as diving, windsurfing, swimming, boating, fishing, tubing or river rafting, bicycling, and hiking. Some hiking trails may even be connected to your Jamaica villa. Bobsledding from the Blue Mountains and zip-lining over the rainforest and Great River are once-in-a-lifetime thrills that can't be missed. For many sports enthusiasts, however, the greatest attraction is the12 golf courses - especially Montego Bay's White Witch Golf Club, named after Anne Palmer, which is easily one of the finest golf courses in the Caribbean.
