Sandals Dunn’s River
This resort’s exceptional attention to detail and genuinely friendly staff have earned it the title of World’s Leading All-Inclusive Resort for 28 years at the World Travel Awards.
OCHO RIOS, JAMAICA
Sandals Dunn’s River, is where the heartbeat of Jamaica truly resonates. Winding rivers, lush forests, and the majestic embrace of banyan trees frame the island’s most breathtaking beach. Nestled on Jamaica’s vibrant north coast, near the lively town of Ocho Rios, this all-inclusive perfectly combines unrivalled luxury with romantic flair.
With 260 exquisitely designed rooms, this resort offers an elegant blend of refined comfort and a deep connection to the serene beauty of nature. Step onto your all-glass balcony in a Tufa Terrace SkyPool Suite, and feel the gentle ocean breeze as you gaze out over uninterrupted 180-degree views of the ocean. The neutral tones of the modern interiors, adorned with local artwork, create a serene space where you can truly unwind. Your private infinity plunge pool, stretching across the entire length of the balcony, is perfect for a dip any time of day. Inside, a circular tub for two, a vast walk-in rainfall shower, and a walk-in wardrobe add to the indulgence, offering you both privacy and space to relax.
But if you’re wanting to go the extra mile, the Coyaba Sky Swim-Up Rondoval Butler Suites with Private Pools are calling your name. These standalone villas are the epitome of luxury, with expansive open-air rooftop terraces that seem to touch the stars. Each suite comes equipped with a telescope for stargazing, and if you’re in the mood for something truly special, the Stargazing Concierge will bring cocktails, wine, cheese, and desserts for a rooftop picnic as they guide you through the constellations and meteor showers above.
Begin your day with a leisurely breakfast at the open-air Saltaire, where the crewed egg station, fresh pastries, smoothies, and tropical fruits set the tone for the day. Alternatively, opt for an à la carte breakfast at Edessa, where mimosas, smoothie bowls, and French toast are just the beginning.
For a taste of authentic Jamaican cuisine, head to The Jerk Shack, where the flavours are as bold as the island itself. The Jerk Shack serves up an authentic, shabby-chic beachside setting, perfect for a romantic meal with your toes in the sand. Must-try dishes include fried sweetcorn cakes and seafood infused with local allspice and scotch bonnet pepper.
L’Amande offers French fine dining in an intimate setting that requires a reservation, while Banyu’s Asian-fusion dishes and Zuka’s Latin flavours take your taste buds on a global journey. And for a touch of Japan in the Caribbean, the izakaya-inspired Hamani delivers fresh sushi and other delicacies.
When it’s time for a drink, Sandals Dunn’s River has a bar for every mood. Sip on a signature cocktail at the Art Deco-inspired Lapidus Lounge, or take in the panoramic ocean views from the glamorous Ocarina rooftop bar. For a laid-back vibe, the Laughing Waters Beach Bar is a favourite, where daybeds and Champagne cocktails create the perfect setting as DJs spin tunes by the waves.
A visit to the award-winning Red Lane Spa is an invitation to rejuvenate, with Caribbean-inspired treatments using local products. Newlyweds can enjoy a complimentary honeymoon package, including chilled sparkling wine, a romantic turndown service, and breakfast in bed, for couples traveling within 30 days of their wedding.
With 17 incredible resorts scattered across eight Caribbean paradises, including Jamaica, Antigua, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Grenada, Bahamas, Curaçao, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Once you’ve experienced the magic here, you’ll find you’ll be eager to tick more of your travel bucket list.
