Beaches Runaway Bay - the new Jamaican family resort from Beaches

29/6/2021

0 Comments

 

What we know so far about Beaches new resort in Jamaica

We wrote recently on this blog about plans for Beaches new resort called Beaches Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

However, there are also plans for a fifth Beaches resort called Beaches Runaway Bay which is coming to Jamaica.

​Here's what we know so far.

Search latest special offers
​at Beaches.co.uk

Where will Beaches Runaway Bay be located?

Beaches Runaway Bay Resort will be on Jamaica's northern coast. It was already operating as a resort called Jewel Runaway Bay Beach Resort & Waterpark but it was bought by the company which owns Beaches in 2020. 

In 2021, they revealed plans to redevelop the site to create an '
all-new resort'.

According to Travel Week that will include '400 one, two, three and four-bedroom suites'.

The current Beaches Resorts have between 180 and 750 rooms (see our comparison of the three resorts here). The two Jamaican Beaches resorts are much smaller than the Beaches Turks and Caicos resort so this new resort will probably be popular with people who want to visit Jamaica but want a larger resort. My hunch is that will have more swimming pools and restaurants than Beaches Negril and Beaches Ochos Rios, simply because it will have a larger number of suites.

The new resort will be about 40 minutes drive west of Beaches Ochos Rios and about two hours East of Beaches Negril. It will be about one hour drive from Montego Bay airport.

What facilities and activities will be available at Beaches Runaway Bay?

So far we know that Beaches Runaway Bay 'will feature dedicated wellness areas and exciting new activities such as skateboarding, bike trails, a climbable treehouse, access to 18-hole championship Runaway Bay Golf Club, and much more' (that's from the official Sandals website).

We also know that the resort will 'feature innovative designs that bring guests closer to nature, as well as new restaurants concepts with an organic farm-to-table approach' (also from the official website).

When will Beaches Runaway Bay open?

We don't have an opening date but we do have a few breadcrumbs of information. 

The redevelopment is part of a bigger plan which will involve reopening two Sandals resorts. The company which owns Beaches and Sandals is hoping to open that resort in the fourth quarter of 2022 according to Travel Weekly (October to December 2022).

The same article says that this will be followed by the opening of Sandals Royal Dunn's River in 2023. 

It isn't quite clear whether the Runaway Bay redevelopment will happen after that or concurrently.
