Nirvana on the Beach offers simple living in a perfect climate. No neon signs or advertising will draw your attention to Nirvana on the Beach. You could walk right past the resort without noticing the unpretentious driveway that leads into a glorious tropical garden on Jamaica’s famed Negril Beach.

Nirvana is located right in the center of Negril Beach, caressed by warm turquoise waters palm fringed, with silky soft, powder-white sand, Negril Beach stretches for about 7 miles on the western tip of this Caribbean island. You can easily walk to all the flavors of Negril or just relax under a favorite palm tree under the watchful eye of Nirvana's friendly beach guard who is happy to arrange any watersports for you at local rates.

Close your eyes and picture yourself surrounded by lush vegetation, fruit trees and a rainbow of flora, such as hibiscus, lilies, torch gingers, jade vines and orchids. The heady smells of the exotic gardens captivate you like a cool breeze on a hot day. You hear songbirds and the rhythm of the ocean waves.

My first morning at Nirvana, I woke up to the scent of night-blooming jasmine drifting in my window. The ceiling fan offered a refreshing breeze, and I picked up a different scent, sea air. My comfortable room featured neutral colors and a sense of relaxed privacy.

With open-air showers, no television, the windows open to the Caribbean breezes and a Jamaican staff who seem to know what you need even before you ask — this truly is Nirvana.


A rural New York couple, Lonnie and Stanley Gottlieb discovered Negril Beach decades ago when the free-spirited hippie generation appreciated the laidback lifestyle the Negril area offers. They built Nirvana on a 2 acre plot of beachfront jungle in the mid 1980s.


The nine-unit guest property is inspired by nature. Family style cottages have two or three bedrooms and spacious living/dining rooms. 4 ocean front 1 BR suites offer romantic & private beach front suites with many amneities. The Owners Villa is the ultimate with a glorious ocean view Veranda with hammocks & a spacious Villa atmosphere.

All the rentals have furnishings which are simple and unpretentious, yet charming, with wicker chairs and plantation blinds. Winter prices start at US$180-325 per night for two people.

All units are fully screened, and there are ceiling fans in every room. Kitchens are fully equipped. Daily maid and cooking service for one meal per day is included in the cottage rates. Guests provide all groceries needed for meal preparation. Take advantage of the wonderful Jamaican cook service, it never disappoints.

Nirvana’s beach is private. Aside from hammocks, there are lounge chairs and charcoal grills and even has a playhouse and swing set for children.

With 24-hour security and the caring, long-time Nirvana staff, you’ll instantly feel at home. If requested, the staff will provide transportation to any destination in Negril and arrange activities of any sort. Water-sports options available from friendly, local operators include scuba diving, snorkeling, jet-skiing, banana boating (riding on a long pontoon pulled by a ski boat), kayaking and sunset cruises.

At Nirvana on the Beach you have the best seats for incredible sunsets in hues from lemon yellow to sparkling tangerine, always a breathtaking end to any day in Negril.

And you get to experience what the original hippies did: a place that brings you back to yourself, a simple life in a perfect climate and days filled with the wonders of an incredible natural environment still unmarked by mass high rise tourism.
