Best Beach Hotels in Negril (2026)

For a lesser-known corner of Jamaica, Negril is the spot to head to. Yes, the sands are white and the seas turquoise, but it is the local feel here that draws those in-the-know, with laidback eateries playing good tunes and shops selling traditional ware (think crochet swimsuits). Negril does, however, have a good range of hotels from those with a laid-back vibe to luxurious all-inclusives. Our favourites come with direct access to the famous Seven Mile Beach, ensuring you can enjoy full days soaking up the sun and sea.

For a boutique stay

• Idle Awhile is a chic beachfront hotel. Rooms feature colourful walls, nautical-striped furniture, dark-wood shutters, and gorgeous bathrooms. Plus, there's fresh and tasty cuisine from the restaurant and bar on the beach. This is a peaceful, contemporary and cool option.

For couples

• Skylark is a stylish island getaway situated on Negril’s famous Seven Mile white-sand beach. Nestled within two renovated properties, guestrooms are bright and inviting, with retro artwork and four-poster beds. With a romantic restaurant and seaside spa, this is a chic couples' getaway.
• Sunset at the Palms is an all-inclusive adults-only 'treehouse' hotel. Elegant rooms have bamboo furniture, large bathrooms and wooden balconies.
