Tower Isle sits on a refined stretch of Jamaica's north coast just east of Ocho Rios, where the road quiets down and the all-inclusive resorts trade crowds for coastal elegance. This is where Couples and Sandals built some of their flagship properties - adults-only retreats lining a calm shoreline with river adventures and heritage estates tucked into the green hills behind them. The vibe is polished but relaxed, a perfect balance for couples and honeymooners who want premium comfort without leaving Jamaica's natural beauty behind.
This guide covers transfer pricing from all three airports, the best places to stay in Tower Isle, and what to explore once you have settled in.
Transfer Prices to Tower Isle
All prices are for in a private vehicle. Fixed pricing, no surprises.
Tower Isle's nearest airport is Ian Fleming International (OCJ), just fifteen minutes west along the coast road. If you are flying into Ocho Rios on a connecting domestic flight or private charter, this is one of the shortest and most scenic transfers we offer. Your Aurum Transfers driver will meet you at the terminal, load your luggage, and have you pulling into your resort before you have finished your first cold water from the complimentary refreshments onboard.
For guests arriving at Sangster International (MBJ) in Montego Bay, the drive east takes roughly two hours along the North Coast Highway - a beautiful ride that passes through Falmouth, Runaway Bay, and the Ocho Rios area before reaching Tower Isle. Every vehicle is equipped with Starlink satellite WiFi, so the journey is as productive or relaxing as you want it to be.

Where You Will Stay
Tower Isle is defined by a small collection of high-quality all-inclusive resorts, each with its own character and loyal guest base. This is not a sprawling hotel strip - it is a curated stretch of coast where every property takes the experience seriously.
Top Resorts:
Couples Tower Isle - The original Couples resort, set on a private beach with a legendary offshore island spa accessible by boat. A favourite for honeymooners and anniversary trips.
Couples Sans Souci - Tucked into a clifftop above mineral springs with a more intimate, boutique feel than its sister property down the road.
Sandals Royal Plantation - One of the smallest and most exclusive Sandals resorts in Jamaica, with butler service and an old-world Caribbean elegance that attracts discerning guests.

What to See and Do
White River Valley
The White River flows down from the hills of St. Mary through a lush valley that has become one of the north coast's top adventure destinations. Guests come here for river tubing, kayaking, and guided bamboo raft rides that drift past limestone cliffs and tropical vegetation. The river mouth, where fresh water meets the Caribbean, is a short drive from Tower Isle and makes for a memorable half-day outing.
Yaaman Adventure Park
Formerly Prospect Plantation, Yaaman Adventure Park offers a blend of Jamaican heritage and outdoor thrills on a historic estate. Activities include camel rides, dune buggy tours through the property, mud buggies, and a Jamaican cooking experience in a traditional outdoor kitchen. It is one of the most popular excursion stops on the north coast and sits just minutes from the Tower Isle resorts.
Rio Nuevo Battle Site
History runs deep along this coast. The Rio Nuevo Battle Site marks the location of the 1658 battle between English and Spanish forces that decided the colonial fate of Jamaica. A small monument and interpretive markers sit on a bluff above the river mouth, and the setting itself - where the Rio Nuevo meets the sea - is quietly dramatic. It is a quick stop worth making for anyone interested in Jamaica's layered past.
Why Book a Private Transfer to Tower Isle?
When you have booked a premium all-inclusive resort, the last thing you want is a shared shuttle making six stops before yours. Tower Isle is close to OCJ and a straightforward drive from MBJ, but that does not mean the logistics handle themselves. A private transfer ensures you step off the plane and into a dedicated vehicle with a driver who knows exactly where your resort entrance is - no guessing, no waiting, no detours.
