Hotel Information: The adults-only Royal Plantation, a boutique-style resort, evokes the British colonial grandeur that once dominated Jamaica while also offering 21st-century conveniences. With shuttles to nearby golf, dining, and activities at partner resorts, the Royal Plantation combines the intimacy of a private villa and the amenities of a full resort.

Amenity highlights: The resort’s ocean frontage includes twin white-sand beaches separated by a dock and furnished with lounge chairs and umbrellas. Each morning, beach butlers provide complimentary mango mimosas, chilled towels, cucumber eye pads, and rosewater face-and-body misting. The on-site Red Lane Spa features a tropical nail bar and treatments such as the Java Jive Scrub, West Indian massage, and Fountain of Youth facials. The resort’s 18-hole championship golf course is perched 213 meters (700 feet) above the sparkling sea. Gourmet dining includes the services of a wine sommelier.
