Nestled in Salt Coppers, Runaway Bay, the Grand Bahia Principe Jamaica is one of the largest all-inclusive resorts on the island. With over 850 spacious rooms, this expansive beachfront property is perfect for travelers seeking relaxation, fun, and a touch of tropical elegance. The resort sits on its own private beach and is a popular choice for families, couples, and groups alike.
Getting to the Grand Bahia Principe is hassle-free. Montego Bay Airport transportation to Grand Bahia Principe takes just about 60 minutes via private shuttle. The journey follows the scenic A1 northern coastal highway, offering travelers a first glimpse of Jamaica’s beauty.
While the resort is conveniently located just off the main highway, its setting feels secluded—offering peace and tranquility. The nearest major tourist hub is Ocho Rios, a 30-minute drive away, where guests can enjoy excursions like Dunn’s River Falls, the Blue Hole Secret Falls, Mystic Mountain, Dolphin Cove, and horseback riding on the beach.
The Grand Bahia Runaway Bay features one of the largest pools in Jamaica, complemented by a pebble beach and a separate clothing-optional section for those seeking a more private sunbathing experience. Despite these adult-friendly amenities, the overall atmosphere remains laid-back, making it ideal for both families and couples.
Each room at Grand Bahia is well-appointed with a marble bathroom, Jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower, four-poster king bed, and a private balcony—many with ocean or pool views. You’ll also find a stocked mini-bar, tea and coffee station, and an in-room safe (with daily rental fee).
Dining options include a central buffet restaurant—Orquídea—and four à la carte restaurants: Italian, Japanese, Steakhouse, and Gourmet cuisine. The Japanese venue tends to be the most sought-after, so reservations are encouraged. Guests are typically allowed three à la carte dinners per week, with the buffet available daily and offering oceanfront seating and a wide variety of options.
Whether you’re staying for a romantic escape or a family retreat, Grand Bahia Principe in Runaway Bay delivers a complete Jamaican resort experience. Don’t miss out on visiting Blue Hole Secret Falls, just a 45-minute drive away, and immerse yourself in Jamaica’s lush countryside and refreshing waters.
