Good news for anyone planning a Jamaica vacation in 2026: the island is fully back and better than ever. After hurricane-related disruptions impacted parts of Jamaica in 2025, the country’s tourism sector has completed its recovery — and the major all-inclusive resorts, including Sandals and Beaches properties, are reporting full operations ahead of the busy spring and summer travel season.
Jamaica’s Resorts Are Back at Full Strength
Jamaica’s resort corridor — from Montego Bay and Ocho Rios to Negril and Kingston — weathered the 2025 storm season and has emerged with infrastructure intact and in many cases improved. Sandals Resorts, which operates six properties across Jamaica including the newly reimagined Sandals Dunn’s River in Ocho Rios, confirmed full operations at all Jamaica locations. Beaches Negril, the popular family all-inclusive on Jamaica’s famous Seven Mile Beach, is also welcoming guests at full capacity.
The Jamaica Tourist Board reported that visitor arrivals are tracking above 2024 levels, with strong demand from North American travelers driven by competitive airlift from Atlanta, New York, Miami, and Toronto. New direct routes added in late 2025 have improved access to both Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport and Kingston’s Norman Manley International Airport.
