Curator’s statement
Jamaica is the perfect getaway from the east coast for a workcation, offering an ideal mix of business-ready amenities and tropical ambiance. With its short flight times, professionals can quickly transition from their desks to the beach. The island boasts decent internet connectivity in many hotels at no additional cost, adequate for most business tasks—though not ultra-fast. As you toggle between work calls and leisure, the scenic views of vibrant beaches and verdant mountains make Jamaica a picturesque yet practical alternative to the typical office environment.
