Location
About the surrounding area of Villa LidoVilla Lido is a beachside villa on Old Fort Bay, close to Ocho Rios. It is a fabulous, enviable location.
Ocho Rios enjoys stunning scenery, renowned attractions, world-class resorts, vast shopping options and a fantastic dining scene. The locals call it ‘the garden parish’ as abundance awaits in the forms of greenery, flavours and variety. You will discover stunning beaches, the roar of waterfalls flowing into the Caribbean Sea and lush forests. Its highlights include the popular Dunn’s River Falls, Mystic Mountain Rainforest, Margaritaville, the Goldeneye Estate of James Bond fame, its craft market and Port Maria with its national heritage sites. Ocho Rios means eight rivers, though there are actually only four rivers in the area: Cave River, Roaring River, Turtle River and Dunns River.
Though you may be tempted to relax and rejuvenate at Villa Lido, Jamaica is an extraordinarily beautiful island where you can discover natural beauty, history and heritage. Its mountain range rises to almost seven thousand feet, there are incredible rivers that flow and tumble through verdant valleys, and some of the world’s most prized coffee is grown. You can book a four-wheel drive tour to discover this amazing landscape, drift down the Martha Brae on a bamboo raft, travel up the Black River to observe crocodiles made famous in the James Bond film Live and Let Die, take a dip in the bracing waters of YS Falls or climb the terraced waterfall at Dunn’s River Falls. Cascading water drops a dramatic six hundred feet within tropical greenery at the falls. You can join an organised climb up the limestone tiers and follow this with a swim at the beach below. Dunn’s River Falls is one of Jamaica’s national treasures. Deep sea sport fishing is also very popular, hunting for tuna, marlin and swordfish. Swimming with dolphins goes down a treat, and dune buggy safaris head off in the wilderness to explore some of Jamaica’s more remote areas.
At Dolphin Cove, you can swim with dolphins, interact with stingrays or visit a shark show. This natural cove is surrounded by five acres of lush rainforest. It is such a wonderful experience to swim with the dolphins in the natural Caribbean Sea plus enjoy the company of different fish, rays and other forms of sea life. When not swimming, you can stroll through the estate taking the Jungle Trail, where you will notice different wild animals, plants and trees.
You can tour one hundred acres of rainforest in the mountains, seven hundred foot above sea level at Mystic Mountain. Here, you can experience the SkyExplorer, Bobsled Ride, Canopy Zipline and Mystic Waterslide. The Bobsled Ride was inspired by the famous Jamaican bobsled Olympic team and is the park’s signature attraction. You will be strapped into a custom-designed sled and whooshed down a one thousand-metre-long track installed into the side of the mountain. Amazing!
Chukka Caribbean Adventures take you through the jungle rainforest on ziplines, on a catamaran cruise and to Dunn’s River Falls. There are also horseback ride and swim sessions, river tubing, visits to mysterious limestone caves, tours of Bob Marley, the King of Reggae’s home and food and rum tours.
Golf fans will be very happy. There are many excellent courses, including the excellent course at Sandals Resort. Its rolling fairways enjoy sweeping views of the sea and mountains. This magnificent 18-hole course rises seven hundred feet above sea level in the lush hills of Ocho Rios with a practice range, putting and chipping greens, shop and restaurant.

Prior to Booking
Please be aware that Jamaica is an island nation that experiences weather patterns dictated by the Atlantic Ocean to the north of the island and the Caribbean Sea to the south of the island.

When thinking about booking your holiday to Jamaica, please consult Foreign travel advice for more information.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesFamilies very quickly fall in love with Villa Lido. Not only is it truly stunning and incredibly spacious, but children also have an endless list of entertainment. There is Netflix and Disney+ on the television, a beautiful swimming pool, tennis, pickleball and multi-purpose field for volleyball and football, kayaks, snorkel equipment and a beautiful garden. The staff are so friendly and aim to please.
Jamaica is a fantastic pick for family holidays. Not only is the island blessed with spectacular beaches and verdant rainforests, but there are wonderful boat rides, safaris, plantation visits, and some thrilling activities. Children can navigate the river rapids in inflatable rings and zip lines and stand under waterfalls. River tubing is such good fun. They enjoy learning how Jamaica’s most popular rum is made, kayaking on rivers, tackling rapids and fast water and ascending into forest tree canopies for a zipline flight through the treetops.
Dolphin Cove is one of the most popular attractions close to the villa. Children return home with magical memories of swimming with dolphins and other sea life in the sea. The surrounding area is also wonderful, lush and full of wildlife.
The Coyaba River Gardens and Museum is a great excursion. It is a beautiful botanical garden. The museum displays pre-Columbian artefacts from the Taino Arawak cultures of Jamaica’s first inhabitants. It is a great place to get back to nature. Coyaba means paradise in the language of Jamaica’s first people. This is as close to the Garden of Eden as you can get. At the heart of the gardens is the Milford River, which runs through the estate. Its limestone base gives a very clear view of koi, snapper and turtles. There is a canopy of almond trees, avocado trees, giant cedars and other trees. Yassi’s lookout point offers breathtaking views of the bay. Tucked deep in the gardens are the Mahoe Falls, which children love climbing. They might not be as big as Dunn’s River Falls, but they are beautiful, and you do not need a guide. Just make sure that you pack your swimming things! The gardens were once part of the Shaw Park Estate, home to the first hotel in Ocho Rios back in 1923.
Children also enjoy heading over to Turtle River Park, where they can check out the fish pond and search for turtles, play on the playground and relax in the gazebo. They love getting their hair braided with colourful beads and visiting one of the many handicraft markets for some souvenirs.

Most wonderful trip to Jamaica
We have just got back this morning from the most wonderful trip to Jamaica. Villa Lido lived up to and exceeded our expectations. The property is wonderful both in amenities and in situation and was the perfect base from which to entertain three small children between beach and pool. The staff of the villa were fantastic, and catered for our every need. They were willing, friendly and flexible and I can’t recommend them highly enough. The food was delicious and abundant!
Many thanks again for your help with making such a memorable family holiday.
