Ironshore is a polished strip of adults-only all-inclusives set along calm Mahoe Bay, just fifteen minutes from the energy of downtown Montego Bay but a world apart in pace. This is where some of Jamaica's most recognized resort brands - Sandals, RIU, Zoetry - have planted their flagship properties on a quiet stretch of coastline with turquoise water and white sand sheltered from the open sea. If your idea of the perfect Jamaica trip is a premium resort with easy airport access and none of the chaos, Ironshore delivers exactly that.
This guide covers private transfer pricing from all three airports, the best resorts in the Ironshore area, and what to explore beyond your resort gates.
Transfer Prices to Ironshore
All prices are for in a private vehicle. Fixed pricing, no surprises.
The vast majority of Ironshore guests fly into Sangster International Airport (MBJ), which is the nearest airport and one of the Caribbean's busiest international gateways. The drive to Ironshore takes just fifteen to twenty minutes along well-maintained roads west of the airport. Your Aurum Transfers driver will be waiting in the meet and greet area with a name board when you clear customs, ready to help with luggage and get you into a cool, WiFi-equipped vehicle without delay.
At $90, this is one of our most affordable transfers - but the service is identical to every route we operate. Starlink satellite WiFi, cold water, real-time flight tracking, and a JTB-licensed driver who knows every resort entrance in the area.

Where You Will Stay
Ironshore is one of Jamaica's most concentrated resort corridors, with nearly a dozen properties within a few minutes of each other along Mahoe Bay. Most cater to couples and adults-only guests, though a handful welcome families as well.
Top Resorts:
Sandals Royal Caribbean - A flagship Sandals resort featuring an offshore island accessible by boat, overwater bungalows, and multiple gourmet restaurants. Consistently ranked among the top all-inclusives in the Caribbean.
RIU Montego Bay - A large, lively adults-only resort with a massive pool complex, 24-hour all-inclusive service, and direct beach access on Mahoe Bay.
RIU Palace Jamaica - The premium tier of RIU's Ironshore presence, with upgraded suites, a rooftop lounge, and a more refined atmosphere than its sister property next door.
RIU Reggae - A vibrant, music-themed adults-only property with an energetic social scene and modern rooms.
Zoetry Montego Bay - A boutique wellness resort focused on holistic experiences, organic cuisine, and personalized service in a quieter corner of the Ironshore strip.
Sandals Montego Bay - The very first Sandals resort ever built, recently renovated with overwater bungalows and a prime beachfront location.

What to See and Do
Greenwood Great House
Built in the 1790s by relatives of the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Greenwood Great House is one of Jamaica's best-preserved plantation-era homes. The guided tour takes you through rooms filled with original antique furniture, rare musical instruments, and a collection of Wedgwood china. The hilltop setting offers sweeping views over the coast, and the history - told honestly, including the realities of the sugar trade - makes this one of the most worthwhile cultural excursions near Montego Bay.
White Witch Golf Course
Designed by Robert von Hagge and set on the former Rose Hall sugar estate, the White Witch Golf Course is a championship-level 18-hole layout that winds through rolling hills with dramatic ocean views from nearly every hole. Named after the legend of Annie Palmer, the course is consistently ranked among the top in the Caribbean. Non-golfers will still appreciate the scenic drive through the estate grounds.
Mahoe Bay Beach
You do not have to go far for a beautiful beach in Ironshore - Mahoe Bay is right at your doorstep. The calm, sheltered waters make it ideal for swimming and paddleboarding, and the white sand stretches along the resort corridor. While most beach access is through the resorts, the bay itself is a protected swimming area with gentle waves year-round.
Why Book a Private Transfer to Ironshore?
Ironshore is close to MBJ, but "close" does not mean simple. After a long international flight, the last thing you want is to stand in a taxi queue, negotiate rates, or board a shuttle that stops at three other resorts before yours. A private transfer eliminates all of that. You walk out of customs, meet your driver, and ride directly to your resort entrance in a clean, air-conditioned vehicle with WiFi and refreshments.
