- YS Falls (Black River): The best place to escape for a romantic picnic is along the coast east of Negril. Three kilometers (2 miles) north of the port of Black River, in a "Me Tarzan, You Jane" setting, you can actually swing from an overhead vine or a jungle rope into cooling ponds made by the waterfall.
- Bloomfield Great House (Mandeville; tel. 876/962-7130): If you should ever grow nostalgic for the Jamaica that used to be, plan a dinner at this historic house set on 2 hectares (5 acres) of beautiful landscaping. After a drink on the old-fashioned veranda, enjoy an elegantly presented and good-tasting meal in a colonial setting of long ago.
- Goldeneye (Oracabessa; tel. 800/688-7678 or 876/975-3354): An intimate and romantic retreat east of Ocho Rios, this is our favorite spot in Jamaica for a tryst with your own "secret agent." This is where then-owner Ian Fleming created the character 007, James Bond. Rock stars and other celebs often seek it out.
- The Blue Lagoon (Port Antonio; tel. 876/993-7791): Another beauty spot, this is where teenage Brooke Shields swam nude in the film of the same name. You can have the same experience in an enchanted pool fed by a natural amphitheater. The water, 56m (186 ft.) deep at its deepest point, is said to have aphrodisiac powers -- which you'll have to determine for yourself.
- Reach Falls (Manchioneal): East of Port Antonio, this is one of the oft-photographed beauty spots of the Caribbean. Visitors enter a virgin rainforest for a cooling dip and perhaps some nude intimacy under the watery cascades.
