Westmoreland, Jamaica

Negril villas
& rentals

Negril is on the western tip of Jamaica in Westmoreland, about ninety minutes from Montego Bay airport. It divides into two quite different halves: Seven Mile Beach, which is flat, sandy and shallow, and the West End cliffs, where the land drops straight into deep water and the sunsets are the main event.

Neighbourhoods

Which part
of Negril?

Where you base yourself changes the trip more than the villa does. Here is how the areas actually differ.

Seven Mile Beach The long sandy stretch, calm and shallow a good distance out. Best for families and anyone who wants to walk into the sea rather than jump.

The West End cliffs South of town, where villas sit on limestone above deep water with ladders and platforms down. Spectacular, adults-oriented, not for toddlers.

Bloody Bay North of Seven Mile, quieter and backed by larger resorts. Fewer private villas but the water is excellent.

Straight answers

Beach or cliffs — they are not interchangeable

People book Negril for the beach and end up on the cliffs, or the reverse, and it changes the holiday entirely. On the beach side you walk out of the garden onto sand and into calm shallow water. On the cliff side there is no beach at all — you get in by ladder or by jumping, the water is deep immediately, and the compensation is that you watch the sun go down over open sea from your own terrace. Both are wonderful. Only one of them works with small children.

If a Negril listing does not say clearly which side it is on, ask before booking.
