If you’ve been dreaming of a luxurious, all-inclusive escape to Jamaica, let me introduce you to one of the most talked-about resorts in the Caribbean—Sandals Dunn’s River. Located on the island’s lush North Coast, this newly reimagined resort is where legendary natural beauty meets elevated luxury, and I’m excited to tell you why it’s a standout.

Prime Location Near Jamaica’s National Treasure

One of the biggest draws? Sandals Dunn’s River is just minutes away from Jamaica’s most iconic attraction—Dunn’s River Falls. This breathtaking natural wonder is a must-see, and having it right next door makes your adventure even more effortless.

Double the Dining with “Stay at One, Play at Two”

As a guest of Sandals Dunn’s River, you’ll enjoy full exchange privileges at nearby Sandals Ochi Beach Resort—with complimentary transfers included. That means 28 total dining options across both resorts are at your fingertips. From gourmet restaurants to beachside bites, the culinary experiences are endless.

Introducing: Dunn’s Rum Club

This is a first for Sandals—Dunn’s Rum Club is the brand’s first-ever rum lounge, featuring over 30 varieties of Caribbean rum. Whether you're a seasoned sipper or curious taster, it’s an experience that adds a flavorful twist to your evenings.

Complimentary Golf at Upton Estate

Golf lovers—this one’s for you. Guests receive complimentary green fees at Jamaica’s premier golf course, the Upton Estate Golf & Country Club. Even better? Transfers to and from the course are included.
