Runaway Bay

Runaway Bay sits on the St Ann north coast between Ocho Rios and Discovery Bay, and is renowned as Jamaica’s all-inclusive resort capital. The stretch of coastline is home to some of the island’s best-known resort brands, offering a quieter, more exclusive alternative to the bustle of Ocho Rios. The town takes its name from a Spanish legend — when the Spanish fled Jamaica ahead of the British invasion in 1655, they launched boats from this bay. Columbus is also said to have anchored in the nearby Discovery Bay. Today, Runaway Bay is a premium residential community attracting diaspora buyers and second-home investors who want north-coast living without the cruise-ship crowds.

Runaway Bay is a top north-coast investment location — all-inclusive proximity, quiet environment, and rising diaspora demand push prices up steadily.
