Kingston, the capital city of Jamaica, is defined by a natural harbor, colonial architecture, hills, beaches, and a vibe, unlike any other metropolis. Before spending the rest of the day at the beach or going to some villas with pool in Kingston, feel the pulse of the city in every corner of its historic downtown. A huge venue for reggae bands is located uptown, and Bob Marley Museum is a must-visit. Indeed, Kingston is a melting pot of music, markets, gardens, and humanity. The city is a popular destination not only for fans of reggae. It’s also a popular “fitcation” (fitness vacation) stop and the epitome of the Caribbean Carnival experience. “Don’t worry, about a thing,” sings Bob Marley. Plan your holiday ahead and check out some luxury Airbnbs in Kingston or other accommodation options that will suit your liking. Read on for the top vacation rentals in Kingston, Jamaica.
