Memories are forever:

Beaches Ocho Rios Will Close On May 31, 2025

For years, Beaches Ocho Rios has been a place where families laughed together, where the littlest guests took their first steps in soft sand, and where kids, parents, and grandparents came together to make incredible memories. It has been an honor to be part of your stories, and we know this place will always hold a special spot in your hearts—just as it does in ours.

That’s why it’s not easy to share this news: Beaches Ocho Rios will be closing its doors on May 31, 2025. Unlike the others in our portfolio, Beaches Ocho Rios is owned by a third party and the resort’s owners are planning a major renovation. This means change, but it also brings the possibility of a future together again.

Until then, we’re focused not on saying goodbye, but on making the Beaches experience you know and love even better. This is the beginning of something new and bold. With a sizeable investment in luxury family travel across the Caribbean, Beaches Resorts is growing, giving you more places to make unforgettable memories including:

  • Treasure Beach Village at Beaches Turks & Caicos – a brand-new haven for families opening Spring 2026.
  • Beaches Runaway Bay on Jamaica’s North Coast – an exciting new getaway
  • Beaches Barbados bringing the Beaches experience to a whole new island
  • Beaches Exuma in the Bahamas—another new Beaches Island destination, where turquoise waters and endless fun await

We are no longer accepting new reservations for guests at Beaches Ocho Rios at this time but we invite you to explore our other Beaches locations in Negril, Jamaica and Turks and Caicos. For those with upcoming reservations at Beaches Ocho Rios, rest assured—we’ve got you covered. Our team will be in touch with exclusive options to ensure your next Beaches holiday is just as amazing as you’ve always dreamed.

We know this news may feel bittersweet, but the Beaches experience you trust isn’t going anywhere, it’s only getting bigger and better. Thank you for making Beaches Ocho Rios such a special place. We can’t wait to welcome you to new destinations, new adventures, and new memories that will last a lifetime.

FAQS

  • Beaches Ocho Rios will close permanently on May 31, 2025, as it undergoes renovations under its ownership (the resort was leased by Beaches Resorts, not owned). While this marks the end of its chapter with the Beaches brand, families are invited to continue making unforgettable memories at our other resorts across the Caribbean.
  • Our team will be reaching out to guests with affected reservations to assist with rebooking at another Beaches or Sandals Resort, offering personalised support to ensure a seamless transition.

  • If you booked through a third-party travel agency, we recommend contacting them directly as soon as possible to discuss your options. Our team is also available to provide guidance and assist with alternative accommodations.
  • Guests looking for an alternative Beaches experience in Jamaica can book at Beaches Negril. Both resorts offer the same family-friendly, all-inclusive experience that Beaches is known for.

Beaches Ocho Rios, on the other hand, was known for its intimate setting and its proximity to the Sandals Golf & Country Club.
  • Beaches Runaway Bay is currently under development, and an official opening date will be announced soon. This exciting new resort will offer world-class amenities, a stunning beach, and the signature Beaches experience families love.
