Runaway Bay is a secluded resort area found on Jamaica’s famous north end, and is conveniently located between the cultural centers of Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. Beautiful sandy beaches ascend from blue waters and are hosted by elegant and charming accommodations on the oceanfront. Tropical landscapes flourish throughout the interior and are known for the flowing torrents and cavernous expanses of the Pear Tree River and Green Grotto Caves. The romance of Runaway Bay is captured by the elegant resorts that successfully fuse nature’s wonders with modern comforts.

For the fully Jamaican shopping experience, the regions of Ocho Rios and Montego Bay are within taxi cab driving distance(half day trip) and offer a boundless inventory of jewelry, souvenirs, fresh produce, coffee, rum, art and other exciting items.
