Reggae Sumfest is staged in Montego Bay each July, but Kingston — the global capital of reggae and dancehall — is where the culture lives year-round. Many Sumfest fans stay in Kingston before or after the festival to experience Bob Marley Museum, Tuff Gong Studios, Trench Town Culture Yard, Devon House, and live reggae nights at Kingston Dub Club, Skyline Levels, Veggie Meals on Wheels, and Redbones Blues Cafe. Our Long Mountain Country Club apartments give you a quiet, secure hillside base 20 minutes from downtown Kingston and Norman Manley Airport, ideal for pre-Sumfest sightseeing or post-festival recovery. Montego Bay is roughly a 4-hour drive on the North Coast Highway, or a short domestic flight from KIN to MBJ. Kingston also fills up during Jamaica Carnival in April, Calabash Literary Festival in late May, and Independence Week in early August — if you're traveling around any of these dates, book early. Kingston Skyline Escape Apt and Kingston Horizon Retreat Apt both offer self check-in, pet-friendly hosting, and panoramic mountain-to-sea views.
