The Ocean Spa
Being as this spa was recently voted Jamaica’s best spa and the ’Caribbean’s Best Hotel Spa’ at the World Spa Awards, spending a day at the luxurious Ocean Spa at Jamaica Inn will not disappoint. With enzymatic micropeels, Carib-Style Thai massages and body smoothies on offer, you’re guaranteed to find something to revitalize and refresh you. Ready to work off those extra Christmas pounds? Book circuit training or a session with one of the excellent personal trainers on staff.

This romantic date night also includes complimentary glasses of sparkling wine.

Fern Tree Spa
Fern Tree Spa is set in the substantial grounds of the Half Moon Resort, a lush 400-acre tropical garden. On arrival, enjoy the spa welcome ritual of a steam facial, consisting of hot water infused with locally grown lemongrass and lavender oil. Afterward, move onto the Meditation Labyrinth and once you’ve stilled your mind, try the famous Jamaican bush bath. A large outdoor, private bath tub is filled with hot water and steeped with Jamaican herbs and fresh fruits. Lay back and relax to the sound of cicadas as a tropical breeze gently warms the air; it’s guaranteed to cleanse, calm and rejuvenate the most tired of bodies.

Once pampered, enjoy an organic juice by the pool or try one of the excellent restaurants located on site.
The Spa
The Spa is the highest and probably most beautiful spa in Jamaica. Located in the Blue Mountains, the air is fresh, clean and stress seems to fade away upon arrival at Strawberry Hill. Imagine a treatment room with huge open windows, surrounded by scented tropical flowers and palms as hummingbirds flutter by peacefully giving way to a beautiful mountain vista. Take a mountain wellness trek or enjoy yoga by the poolside. If there is a spa paradise, this is as close as it gets.
