Secrets Wild Orchid will leave you wanting for nothing during your time in Montego Bay, as this luxury Jamaican resort is packed full of things to do, gourmet restaurants to dine in, a superb spa for easy afternoons and golden, sandy shores to top it all off.
First and foremost it’s worth noting the wealth of activities and entertainment that are included throughout your stay, with the sprawling Secrets Wild Orchid being home to a fleet of boats, catamarans and a dive school – plus plenty of other watersports equipment too. There are also multiple swimming pools; a gym; sports courts both on the beach and around the grounds; games rooms; an amusement arcade and no less than 16 fine dining restaurants and bars to savour. You can pick up a bicycle or go horse riding, join a yoga or cookery class, dip into one of several boutiques selling everything from designer silverware to local arts and crafts, pitch up at one of five nearby golf courses or perhaps spend the day making the most of your complimentary beach service, enjoying a cocktail or two by the bay. This really is just a taster of what is on offer at Secrets Wild Orchid, as night-time entertainment is also part of the package, such as their themed evenings and parties, live shows at the open-air theatre or musical performances in some of the bars.
If that weren’t enough, you’ll also have access to Wild Orchid’s adults-only sister property next door too, the Secrets St. James Montego Bay resort, giving couples in particular almost endless options, bars, pools and facilities to make use of.
The beauty of Secrets Wild Orchid is that this treasure trove of in-house extras also comes with style. You’ll notice that every restaurant and bar has its own particular look and feel, suites are handsomely designed and everything from the carefully placed palm trees to the marble wrapped around your outdoor Jacuzzi all works in harmony. Then, when you do decide to venture out and see the highlights of Montego Bay and wider Jamaica, there is a host of day trips on your doorstep, from sunset boat tours to the nearby Dunn’s River Falls and much more besides; Secrets Wild Orchid Resort simply ticks every Caribbean box.

Location
Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Meanwhile Sangster International Airport is less than 4 miles away.
