Sandals Ochi
Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Sandals Ochi is an adults-only, all-inclusive resort for couples in Ocho Rios, on Jamaica’s north coast. Its setting combines the lively Caribbean Riviera and Ochi Beach Club with a quieter hillside of Butler Villas and gardens. That contrast gives guests a choice between a sociable beachfront atmosphere and more secluded accommodation, while remaining within the same resort. The property is set across a 100-acre garden landscape, with the beach and hillside offering distinctly different places to spend the day. Accommodation ranges from rooms and suites to Butler Villas and Romeo and Juliet Suites with private courtyards. Butler service and private features depend on the category booked, rather than being standard across every room. Dining is spread across 16 specialty restaurants, while 11 bars include swim-up options and a speakeasy. Meals, snacks, premium spirits, stocked in-room minibars and Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks wines form part of the all-inclusive offering. For weddings, the resort’s overwater chapel is a distinctive setting, with panoramic sea views and a glass aisle above the water. Couples can combine their celebration with a beach holiday, using the resort’s restaurants, pools and entertainment throughout their stay. The beach club provides a livelier gathering point, while the hillside accommodation offers a quieter base. Wedding arrangements should be discussed with Sandals separately from the room booking. Included activities cover snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, tennis and scuba diving for certified divers. Green fees and round-trip shuttles to nearby Upton Estate Golf & Country Club are included, as are airport transfers, Wi-Fi, taxes and gratuities. Red Lane Spa treatments and local excursions are optional extras. Dunn’s River Falls and the Ocho Rios Blue Hole are among the attractions available through separately arranged tours.
