One of the best aspects of any visit to a Jamaica villa rental is experiencing the rich flavors of this wonderful and diverse island.  Settlers who have come to Jamaica over the centuries have always brought their traditions and their culinary expertise with them

From the Spanish conquistadors to the British plantation owners, and from the African,  Chinese and East Indian slaves and laborers to the millions of tourists who flock to these sunny shores; everyone has left a taste imprint on Jamaica.

Book a Jamaica villa rental and come hungry, because we have lots to delight you with as you eat in Jamaica.  From the Spanish background, we have the fish, often served in a vinegar and onion mix.  From the English, we got our iconic patties; fluffy pastry turnovers packed with spiced meats and potatoes.  From the original Arawak Indians and from Africa, we got our spices, blended into a delightful mix called “jerk”, used to flavor meats and fish.  From the Chinese and East Indian immigrants, we developed our love for curries.

While your Jamaica villa will come with its own kitchen, make sure you go out for the occasional meal to sample what the island has to offer, or better yet, arrange for a local chef to come to your Jamaica villa and teach you how to work with all the incredible fresh ingredients this island provides. Enjoy homemade ackee and saltfish, the national breakfast of Jamaica. Taste fresh coco bread right out of the oven.  Sample curried goat, with a generous serving of tasty duckanoo for dessert.  Of course, don’t miss out on a freshly made patty and some jerk chicken, grilled over an open flame, and seasoned with a mix of peppers, allspice, nutmeg and thyme.
