Bob Marley (and thousands of cliche high school yearbook quotes) once said, “love the life you live. Live the life you love.” It’s impossible not to love your life when you’re in Jamaica. The small Caribbean island is known not only as the birthplace of Bob Marley and reggae music, but also the home of pristine beaches, epic waterfalls, and of course, some of the best rum and coffee you’ve ever tasted. Where you stay plays a huge role in your island experience, so choosing the right accommodation is crucial. From historic villas to modern mansions, these are the luxurious Airbnbs in Jamaica you should bookmark for your next trip.
