Busy? On a budget? We got you! We understand how busy life gets and this is why we’ve designed Little Jamaica in a way that will allow you to relax and see as much as possible!

This is for people of all faiths because we know that Jamaica has the power to connect you to yourself and the universal, adventurous nature of others with you!  Plunge into fresh mineral baths, waterfalls and lagoons. It’s open to singles, couples as well as families!

Savour the natural and gastronomic wonders of Stush In The Bush; down to earth organic farming; as well as exclusive fine dining in the hills. Visit the Blue Mountains (it’s ok, no special gear necessary) and experience true local culture! This is your time to have an experience of a lifetime. Plan it and, as Jamaicans say, reach!
