Description
You’ll also enjoy a more laid-back pace of life here and can choose to go snorkelling, scuba diving or just put your feet up by the pool and enjoy the best cocktails around. Visit the famous Runway Bay or the port town of Ocho Rios with Viva Holidays.
Runway Bay
Get into the rhythm of relaxation during your stay in Runway Bay. There are few better places on the planet to kick off your shoes, find a great spot on the sand or poolside and bask in everything this popular Jamaican resort has on offer. Cardiff Hall Beach and Fisherman’s Beach are the two most popular and when you see them for yourself, you’ll know immediately why.
Imagine how incredible you’ll feel waking up to Caribbean sunshine every morning. And if you want to meet some of the locals, you can take to the water in the form of snorkelling and scuba diving to explore the reefs and wonderful wildlife. Staying in Runway Bay as part of a multi-centre holiday will give you the chance to spend a romantic break with your partner or catch up with friends when there are no other distractions. The nearby Green Grotto Caves are a great experience if you feel like having an adventure-packed day.
Ocho Rios
Ocho Rios has evolved from a fishing village into a thriving tourist town. Situated on the island’s north coast, there is more to explore than you may expect during your multi-centre break to this part of the Caribbean. There’s natural beauty all around and Dunn’s River Falls and the Turtle River Falls & Gardens are both relaxing and captivating in equal measure.
If you’ve ever wanted to swim with dolphins, you can get in to the water with these wonderful creatures at Dolphin Cove as well as perhaps a spot of shark feeding if you’re feeling brave enough. Away from the ocean, there’s a plentiful number of restaurants and shops in Oche Rios serving up local crafts and colourful Caribbean seafood dishes with a bit of a kick.
Oche Rios has also featured on the big screen as the location for the iconic Bond film, “Dr. No” featuring Sean Connery as 007. By booking your multi-centre holiday with us, you can create your own memorable moments, martini in hand.
