PORT ANTONIO

Portland is Paradise, and Port Antonio is at the heart of it. Welcome to one of the most spectacular destinations in the Caribbean.

This is truly the “Other Side of Jamaica” with an authenticity that resonates in its very soul; the azure sea and the verdant hills today still mesmerizes visitors.

Find adventure in the Blue Mountains and John Crow Mountains, magic in the calming, ‘bottomless’ Blue Lagoon and mystery in the Nonsuch Caves.

Among the almost endless list of things to do: rafting down the Rio Grande or marveling at two nearby waterfalls, swimming at Somerset and Reach Falls, and stopping by the many authentic jerk spots across the parish.

Port Antonio is ideal for day trips; truly a planner's dream for blending excitement with efficiency, moving between attractions with ease.







A little bit of history

Falmouth is the chief town and capital of the parish of Trelawny in Jamaica. It is situated on Jamaica's north coast 18 miles east of Montego Bay. It is noted for being one of the Caribbean's best-preserved Georgian towns.
During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Falmouth was one of the busiest ports in Jamaica. It was home to masons, carpenters, tavern-keepers, mariners, planters and others.
It was a wealthy town in a wealthy parish with a rich racial mix. Within the parish, nearly one hundred plantations were actively manufacturing sugar and rum for export to Britain. Jamaica, during this period, had become the world's leading sugar producer.
