Getting there

Planes

Fly from London to Kingston airport with BA (www.britishairways.com) or Virgin (www.virgin-atlantic.com). The main American carriers also run flights from the usual hubs | along with Air Jamaica (www.airjamaica.com). Air Canada connects Toronto and Kingston (www.aircanada.com). A private transfer flight from Kingston to your hotel costs from US$675 for a single trip in a four-seater plane. You’ll get a bird’s-eye view of the Blue Mountains on the way. If you want to make a grand entrance | hire a chopper from Kingston to your hotel for around US$995 each way (for four passengers).

Automobiles

Port Antonio is a two-hour drive from Kingston – drive along the coast or through the mountains (then swap on your way back). If you’re planning on exploring | it makes sense to hire a 4x4 and a driver.
