Jamaica is an island that features a melting pot of culture, beautiful people and of course breath-taking scenery. If you are looking for a Romantic getaway on this Island, take a trip to the scenic parish of Portland to the City of Port Antonio. This exclusive city is located to the Northeast of Kingston just about 60 miles away. It is also known for its privacy and tranquillity which makes it a well-kept secret. Celebrities like Katy Perry and Solange even came on the Island and visited this area and nobody knew until they left and it was a headline in the newspaper.
If you decide to visit this Parish, the closest Airport is the Norman Manley International in Kingston. It is a long yet beautiful drive, but it is well worth it. Below are the best places for your romantic getaway.
