Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Upon landing at Montego Bay, the warm Jamaican air immediately welcomes you. You’ll be greeted by our representative and guided to your private, air-conditioned transfer for a scenic drive to the resort. As you arrive at Sandals Ochi, a chilled welcome drink and a seamless check-in process await. Settle into your luxurious room or suite, perhaps taking a moment on your balcony to absorb the stunning surroundings. Subsequently, your first evening is for acclimatising; maybe enjoy a relaxed dinner at The Southern Table for some authentic regional cuisine, followed by a cocktail under the stars. The adventure has officially begun.

Today is dedicated to the vibrant heart of the resort: the Ochi Beach Club. After a delicious breakfast, find your perfect spot by the expansive main pool or on the pristine white-sand beach. The atmosphere is energetic, with music, activities, and attentive bar service. For lunch, you won’t have to wander far, with several casual beachfront dining options available. In the afternoon, why not try your hand at paddleboarding or kayaking on the calm Caribbean waters? As evening approaches, the Beach Club transforms into a chic social hub, perfect for watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand before dinner.

After the excitement of the Beach Club, today offers a change of pace. You might choose to indulge in a treatment at the Red Lane® Spa (charges apply), a sanctuary of tranquillity offering a range of Caribbean-inspired therapies. Alternatively, explore the serene hillside part of the resort. Discover one of the many secluded pools dotted throughout the lush Butler Village, offering privacy and quietude. It’s the perfect day to read a book, listen to the gentle sounds of nature, and simply recharge. Consequently, you will feel completely refreshed. For dinner, consider the romantic and sophisticated ambiance of Le Gourmand for exquisite French cuisine.

While the resort has everything you need, the allure of Ocho Rios is undeniable. Today is an excellent opportunity for an optional excursion to one of Jamaica’s most famous natural wonders, Dunn’s River Falls. You can climb the magnificent terraced waterfalls for an unforgettable experience. Alternatively, explore the local craft markets for authentic souvenirs or visit Mystic Mountain for a rainforest adventure. Returning to the resort in the afternoon, you’ll have a newfound appreciation for the island’s culture and beauty. This evening, share stories of your adventure over a delightful meal.

With 16 world-class restaurants, your culinary exploration continues. Make today a journey for your tastebuds. Start with a Far East lunch at Soy Sushi Bar, sampling fresh and creative rolls. For dinner, why not experience the dramatic flair of Kimonos, where talented chefs prepare your meal teppanyaki-style, right before your eyes. Afterwards, seek out the resort’s best-kept secret: The Rabbit Hole. This clandestine 1920s-style speakeasy bar requires a password for entry and serves up incredible classic cocktails in an intimate, exclusive setting. It’s a truly unique and memorable night.

Embrace the dual nature of the resort by dedicating your final full day to exploring both its worlds. Perhaps start with a morning round of golf at the nearby Sandals Golf & Country Club, with green fees and transfers included. In the afternoon, return for a final swim in the sea at the Beach Club. Later, take a leisurely stroll through the manicured tropical gardens of the hillside estate, discovering hidden gazebos and romantic spots. As your holiday draws to a close, enjoy a spectacular farewell dinner at a restaurant you’ve yet to try, reminiscing about your incredible week in paradise.

Enjoy one last delicious Jamaican breakfast, perhaps with a final serving of fresh tropical fruit and Blue Mountain coffee. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have time for some last-minute souvenir shopping at the resort’s boutique or one final dip in the pool. Your private transfer will be arranged to ensure you arrive at Sangster International Airport in plenty of time for your flight home. You’ll depart with a sun-kissed glow, a relaxed spirit, and a collection of unforgettable memories from your incredible Sandals Ochi holiday.
