Jamaica... Say Yes To This Lovers’ Paradise!

Jamaica is one of the most romantic and vibrant islands in the Caribbean. Full of delights from across the spectrum, the island boasts a number of sights known for their beauty, high romance quotient and “wow” factors.

Runaway Bay and Ocho Rios are both situated in Saint Ann Parish on Jamaica’s northern coast. Beyond the ever-popular tourist attraction, Dunn’s River Falls, the area boasts winding, white-sand beaches, hundreds of species of flora and fauna, and is considered one of the most naturally beautiful places on the island.

Always a popular choice, Montego Bay, is the capital of the parish of St. James and the fourth most populous city in Jamaica. From a photogenic point of view, MoBay (as it is affectionately known) is dotted liberally with colonial buildings - the perfect settings for post-ceremony snaps. It’s also backed by rolling, low mountains, which often produce dramatic-looking cloud formations in contrast with the sun-kissed beaches.

Negril’s beaches are regularly rated among some of the best in the world. With unobstructed views of the horizon, the dazzling sunsets offer the perfect light for the end (or start) of seaside nuptials. For gorgeous pictures, travel along Lighthouse Road for some shots near the lighthouse and the dramatic cliffs it protects.

Natural nuptials. Earthy couples will appreciate the natural beauty of the stunning Ayo and Casibari rock formations. While the rugged terrain might pose a challenge for those dressed in their bridal best, these giant boulders are part of a phenomenal landscape. The best time to visit is early in the morning to beat the heat and the cruise ship crowds.

Surf’s up. Andicuri Beach is a stunning black-pebble beach on the island’s east coast. With its craggy cliffs and majestic surf, this hidden gem makes for great photo shoots. While swimming is not advised, the juxtaposition of the turquoise sea crashing against its unique shoreline is simply awesome.

Multi-coloured memories. The picturesque capital city of Oranjestad is impressive eye candy, with its Dutch colonial architecture awash in candy-coloured hues. Plaza Daniel Leo is ideally situated in the centre of the fray, making it the perfect photographic outpost for more bridal photography.

Multi-Generational Family Vacations

In recent years, multi-generational travel has become more and more popular. Instead of just travelling with the kids, families are looking to include Grandma and Grandpa in their family vacations! There are plenty of resorts that offer activities for all generations, from action-packed kids clubs for the little ones to beach Zumba for the grandparents. If you’re thinking about planning a multi-generational vacation of your own, here are a few things to consider.

The Family That Plans Together, Stays Together

No person is an island, so don’t try taking this task on all by yourself! The first step to planning is finding a date that works for everyone involved. Next, list everyone’s must-haves at a resort and decide on a budget. Then, start doing your research by checking out vacation packages! Don’t be discouraged if you don’t narrow it down to one choice the first time you try. Take your time and make sure you pick the resort that’s perfect for you. It’s also a good idea to book your vacation a few months in advance to secure rooms that are close to one another.

Capture Every Moment

Try not to be the person that’s always behind the camera. Don’t be shy asking another guest to take a family photo for you, and of course, always offer to return the favour! Many resorts offer on-site photographers, which are a great investment for family photos and a memento of your vacation that you’ll cherish for years to come. When you get home, pull together everyone’s favourite photos from the holiday and create a scrapbook or photobook using an online service.

Book Tours In Advance

When it comes to booking excursions, you’ll want to book in advance to make sure that they can accommodate your whole family. Make sure to pick excursions that everyone will enjoy - Grandma and Grandpa might not love ziplining across the jungle, but everyone is sure to enjoy a catamaran cruise. You can easily pre-book your excursions in advance, which helps guarantee everyone a spot.

Keep Calm And Carry On

While travelling with the whole family can be a blast, it can also be stressful and there may be times when different family members want to do different things. Remember that it’s everyone’s vacation - give everyone lots of space to enjoy their time off on their terms! Most importantly, keep calm and have a blast creating memories as a family.

St. Lucia’s Most Romantic Luxury Resort

Nick Troubetzkoy’s Jade Mountain

Rising majestically above the 600 acre beach front resort of Anse Chastanet, Jade Mountain is a cornucopia of organic architecture celebrating St. Lucia’s stunning scenic beauty.

Architect owner Nick Troubetzkoy has expanded upon his philosophy of building in harmony with Caribbean nature in his creation of Jade Mountain. The bold architectural design – individual bridges leading to exceptional infinity pool sanctuaries and rugged stoned-faced columns reaching towards the sky – makes Jade Mountain one of the Caribbean’s most mesmerizing resort experiences.

Expect grand sweeping spaces where bedroom, living area and an extravagant private infinity pool glide into one another to form extraordinary platforms floating out into nature. With the fourth wall entirely absent, Jade Mountain’s sanctuaries are stage-like settings from which to embrace the full glory of St. Lucia’s Pitons World Heritage Site, and of course, the eternal Caribbean Sea.

Wrapped around an infinity pool with a dazzling kaleidoscope of colors, the Jade Mountain Club caters exclusively to resident guests, celebrating James Beard Award winner Chef Allen Susser’s “Jade Cuisine.” Hovering in space above the Jade Mountain Club is the Celestial Terrace, perfect for sunset cocktails or star-gazing.

A wide range of spa services can be enjoyed in the privacy of the Jade Mountain sanctuaries or at Kai en Ciel, Jade Mountain’s boutique spa and fitness studio.

The Jade Mountain sanctuaries are deliberately techno-free; there are no telephones, radios or televisions. Internet access is available at reception and at select other locations for those who simply cannot let go of the outside world as the resort encourages you to! The resort major domos and a dedicated resort team ensure outstanding service around the clock.

Enjoy the exclusivity and privacy of Jade Mountain plus all of Anse Chastanet’s restaurants, bars, boutiques, art gallery, spa, scuba, bike and watersports facilities as well as 2 soft sand beaches available to Jade Mountain guests at all times.
