location
Located in the beautiful seaside city of Montego Bay, the capital of Saint James Parish, Half Moon is nestled on the northwest shore of the island of Jamaica. A tourist hotspot, thanks to its stunning beaches (Doctor’s Cave is a standout), Montego Bay offers activities for every travel style. Sun worshippers will enjoy lounging on one of the city’s beautiful stretches of sand, while adventure seekers can explore the area by horseback, bamboo raft, bicycle, and even zip line. Meanwhile, culture lovers and history buffs alike will enjoy the city’s rich heritage, which can even count a 1494 visit by Christopher Columbus as part of its colorful past. The 400-acre Half Moon resort is situated roughly 10 kilometers (a little more than 6 miles) from the city center, with two full miles of beachfront, offering the perfect blend of convenience and away-from-it-all serenity.
