Can you be gay in Jamaica?

Updated: May 3, 2022

Well, the short answer is yes! But here’s what you need to know if you want to go there...


LGBTQ Travel has always been tricky, but Jamaica is more open than most places in the Caribbean. There are LGBTQ-friendly hotels out there on the island; however, it’s important to do your research before booking your trip.


The first thing you should consider is that not all resorts are equal.


Some of them offer specific facilities and services to the LGBTQ community, while others don’t. In Jamaica, there are large resorts that welcome everyone and even a few small boutique properties that I highly recommend.
