Rose Hall

Colonial Rose Hall offers a glimpse of what life was like for the white elites of Jamaica, and one of its arguably most notorious representatives: fabled, semi-fictionalized Annie Palmer, also known as the "White Witch" for her disturbing and devious deeds. Take the day tour of the house and surrounding gardens, or the spooky evening tour.

The divine white-sand beach was once believed to be washed over by waters with strong curative properties.

Luminous Lagoon

The Luminous Lagoon, just a short drive east of Montego Bay, is one of the few places in the world where the so-called "glistening waters" can be observed. At night, the waters of the lagoon light up with shining cerulean lights, forged by movement of rare microorganisms inhabiting its floor. Guided tours with a stop for bathing depart from the Glistening Waters Marina.

Rastafari Indigenous Village

Now here's an experience hard to come by elsewhere: the Rastafari Indigenous Village, just outside city limits, is a neat introduction to Jamaica's indigenous religious movement that has gained followers worldwide since its emergence in the 1930s. A guided tour is good way to learn more about Rastafarianism and its central tenants, as well as witness the daily and cultural life of its Jamaican adepts.
