Negril Villas & Luxury Vacation Rentals : Rental Escapes

Your Guide to Negril Villas

Perched along Jamaica’s western coast, Negril is a beach destination known for its laid-back rhythm, authentic culture, and gorgeous sunsets. Negril villas add a layer of privacy and serenity to your stay, making them the ultimate way to experience this beach paradise.

Before 1959, Negril was only accessible by sea. Its remote location made it a haven for smugglers and pirates, while also remaining a Spanish stronghold after the British conquest of Jamaica. Thanks to its remote location, Negril has managed to maintain so much of the charm that made this once-sleepy fishing village so special.

Today, Negril villas honour this legacy with stays that blend into their surroundings with natural materials, sustainable practices, and a big focus on outdoor living.

Renting a luxury villa in Negril is easy with Rental Escapes. First, choose your travel dates. Next, choose your party size. From there, your Rental Escapes villa specialist will happily present you with the best available Negril villas for your group. After, your concierge customizes your trip, including transportation, chef service, boat charters, excursions, and more.

Negril Luxury Villas

Like the destination itself, Negril luxury villas celebrate authentic Jamaican culture and natural beauty to create wholly unique experiences.

Negril luxury villas can be found all along the coast, including on the world-famous Seven-Mile-Beach; nestled by the ultra-calm waters of Bloody Bay; or perched along the dramatic West End Cliffs.

No matter where you stay, expect high-end amenities and a deep-seated respect for nature. You can also expect 5-star service, including from your Rental Escapes concierge.
