Discover Jamaica's Bond Legacy

Jamaica's enchanting beaches and sunshine were the backdrop for Ian Fleming's creation of James Bond. Fleming penned the first dozen Bond novels in Oracabessa, and in 1962, Jamaica featured in the first Bond film, Dr. No, with Sean Connery. Later, in Live and Let Die, Roger Moore's Bond navigated the island's dangers, and most recently, No Time to Die showcased Bond's retirement in Jamaica.

For film enthusiasts and travelers alike, Jamaica offers a blend of adventure and relaxation with its resorts, waterfalls, and beaches. While you may not encounter 007, the island's connection to reggae music and its role as a filming location for the Bond series add to its allure.
