Jamaica
Do it like Bond: The Caribbean nation of Jamaica and James Bond go back a long way. Writer Ian Fleming prominently featured this beautiful country in novels like Live and Let Die, Dr No and Octopussy, and wrote all his books from the Goldeneye estate, which is now an exclusive clifftop resort. The island of Jamaica is full of sun and sand, with a cuisine to match once you whet your appetite snorkeling and diving in the pristine blue Caribbean waters. Spend the evening soaking up the culture. Jamaica is famous for its art, music and love for the good life.
You know it from: Dr No, the first Bond movie, was shot partly in Jamaica. The country also played a major role in immortalising the Bond Girl. Ursula Andress’s famous entry as the white-bikini clad Honey Ryder was shot on the Laughing Waters beach in Ocho Rios. Many other Bond films have been shot in the country since.
