2. Take a tour of Rose Hall Great House, a beautifully restored 18th-century property. The spooky night tour is a must for ghost hunters and concludes with a 'Witches Brew' cocktail at Rose Hall's Dungeon Bar.

3. Climb aboard a luxury catamaran for an unforgettable Caribbean sunset dinner cruise.

4. Stay at a romantic hotel or resort. There's a long list of Jamaica properties that rank as the top hotels in the world, from overwater bungalows at Sandals Royal Caribbean to luxurious lagoon cottages at GoldenEye resort.

5. Visit the Blue Hole to have a Tarzan-like swimming experience. Think rope swings, nature trails, and cascading waterfalls.
