Resorts in Negril, Jamaica

Negril is a laid-back city, even by easygoing Jamaican standards. The resort town is situated on western Jamaica's famed Seven Mile Beach and features pristine, white sand beaches with turquoise waters that are some of the clearest in the Caribbean.

This setting offers some of the best scuba and snorkeling opportunities in the Caribbean as well. Water sports and beach activities abound as well, or you can opt to just kick back, relax, and enjoy the sounds of the surf.

Xtabi Resort

In the Awarwak language, Xtabi translates to "meeting place of the gods." Negril's Xtabi resort is a little slice of paradise situated atop ocean-side cliffs. In these serene surroundings, guests can enjoy panoramic views of the sea and the resort's luxurious amenities.

Swim in a tropical lagoon or a gorgeous outdoor pool on the cliffs. The resort also features an open-air bar and restaurant for a truly tropical dining experience with unbeatable scenery.

Be aware, however, that beach access is limited due to the resort's position high above the ocean. Limited beach areas can be reached by a network of stairs that work their way down the face of the cliffs.
