At Sandals Negril guests wake up each morning just steps from famed Seven Mile beach, a stretch of coastline renowned for its sands as white as powdered sugar and aquamarine waters.
Whether staying in the all-new Beachfront Walkout Club Level rooms, the Sunset Loft Suites or the Crystal Lagoon Swim-up Suites, all of the resort’s accommodations put guests closer to the water than anywhere else in Negril.
Proximity to one of the most celebrated beaches on the planet is just one of the highlights at this hip Jamaica resort that showcases Mother Nature at every turn.
Sandals Negril is also home to one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful dive sites, featuring vivid marine life, coral reefs and a range of unique undersea sights. In fact, there are few places with better dive offerings than the Caribbean. Divers from all over the planet flock to the region, which is why Sandals offers one of the most comprehensive diving programs anywhere.
Not only is everything included, Sandals is the only resort chain to have all resorts Green PADI Certified.
There’s a range of intriguing diving opportunities at Sandals Negril for novice, advanced and master level divers.
The novice diving site at Middle Shoal Reef exposes visitors to coral reefs, large aggregations of French grunts at cleaning stations on coral heads, Squirrelfish aggregations and turtles are also regularly spotted here.
Advanced dive opportunities at Shark’s Reef allow participants to follow the coral reef and overhangs down to a sandy bottom sloping seaward at 75 feet. Along the way, there are nurse sharks and large stingrays.
For the even more skilled master divers, Middle Shoal Reef also has a small single-engine plane rest beneath the ocean at a depth of 90 feet. Diving in this area showcases Spadefish and Barracuda, as well as beautiful coral, barrel, sponge and gorgonians.
After a long day of playing and relaxing, guests at Sandals Negril will also find plenty of options for memorable dining. There are seven specialty restaurants located throughout the resort. The casual Bayside restaurant, for instance, offers buffet breakfasts and lunch overlooking the ocean. Come sunset, it transforms into an exquisite a la carte French Brasserie experience. Cucina Romana meanwhile offers savory Italian cuisine and flavors from Tuscany in an open-air setting. Only the finest ingredients are used in the special Italian meals prepared by the chef, who creates dishes inspired by his home region of Lazio. At Kimonos, the aroma of exotic spices and perfectly grilled delights are just part of the experience. The vibrant restaurant serves exotic dishes from the Far East based on the mid-1940 Teppanyaki cooking style.
These are just some of the culinary highlights at Sandals Negril. Additional dining options include Sundowner, a white-glove experience that serves West Indian food; and also Beach Bistro, which specializes in grilled fare.
And finally, back to the luxurious accommodations at Sandals Negril just steps from the beach. Think of them as your own private paradise.
