Jamaica Vibes Book

Surely the most stylish and cool island in the Caribbean, Jamaica is not only the birthplace of reggae but also a favorite destination of James Bond. While there's no shortage of luxury villas and white-sand beaches, Jamaica offers something other destinations lack: a vibrant culture that's entirely its own. Brimming with character, Jamaica has a strong sense of identity, which has been shaped over centuries during its struggle for freedom and independence.

This national pride is reflected in the music, dance, cuisine and literature that originated in Jamaica but has since influenced people around the world. Bob Marley's legacy is intertwined with the image of Jamaica, leaving an indelible mark on the country and the world. For novelist Ian Fleming, Jamaica was his creative incubator. At his home in GoldenEye, Fleming created one of the world's most famous characters, James Bond. Travelers can now follow in the footsteps of these titans of creative expression by visiting 56 Hope Road in Kingston, the former home of Bob Marley, or staying at the GoldenEye. Whether you were born and raised on the island, or just on vacation, Jamaica's influence is undeniable. Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records, writes a foreword to Jamaica Vibes, presenting an intimate and privileged portrait of this dynamic island nation and its fascinating power.
