Things to Do in Jamaica

Thirty-plus activities within an hour of Mais Oui Villa in Discovery Bay.

Discovery Bay, Jamaica

Close to Everything. Far from Crowds.

Mais Oui sits midway between Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, close to 30 activities within about an hour's drive. Beach-combing, river rafting, waterfalls, historic sites, golf, restaurants, and more. Day trips to Negril, Port Antonio, Kingston, or the South Coast are easy too. We know the island well and are happy to help you plan. For an additional charge, you can arrange a private van and driver through our trusted local service, a comfortable way to see the real Jamaica, on and off the beaten track.
