J
amaica was a British colony until 1962.
After World War II, it developed a
reputation not just for peace and warmth,
but also as a place to escape the sexual
and artistic uptightness of England and
North America—a bit of Tangier in the
Caribbean. It drew a heady mix of the first-
generation jet set: Graham Greene, Truman
Capote, Lucian Freud, Peter O'Toole, Sophia
Loren, and Audrey Hepburn among them.
Today some of that Old Hollywood glamour
has faded and more people may think of
Usain Bolt rather than Sophia Loren but
Jamacia still retains its' call to the celeb
although more musically inclined today
as compared to
the past. Rihanna,
Katy Perry, John
Legend, Alicia
Keys, Dave
Stewart have all
indulged in the
rich Jamaican
culture, relaxed

vibe and stellar South Asian restaurants.
Jamaica boasts several all-inclusive
resorts, but in addition to beautiful
beaches, the Caribbean island also offers
a whole host of activities for outdoor
enthusiasts, including hiking, zip lining, and
even cliff diving, if you dare.
