UNICO Hotel Collection has announced that reservations are now open for UNICO 18°77° Montego Bay, marking the brand’s first expansion beyond Mexico.
Opening March 1, 2027, the adults-only, all-inclusive resort invites travellers to experience personalized service, thoughtful design, and immersive local experiences inspired by Jamaica.
The hotelier says Jamaica, with its vibrant culture, celebrated culinary traditions, and unmistakable rhythm, provides the ideal setting for the next chapter of UNICO Hotel Collection.
“Every aspect of the resort reflects the island’s unique character, creating experiences that encourage guests to connect with the destination through its people, flavours, artistry, and traditions, as well as its diverse natural beauty, from lush mountains and cascading waterfalls to rivers and the Caribbean coastline,” UNICO says in a press release.

Set along the coastline of Montego Bay, UNICO 18°77° was designed to reflect a true sense of place. The resort incorporates locally commissioned artwork, destination-inspired wellness, Jamaican flavours, crafted coffee experiences, live music, and curated cultural programming that invite guests to discover the island beyond the resort.
“Expanding beyond Mexico marks an exciting milestone for UNICO Hotel Collection, but our philosophy remains the same,” said Philipp Hofer, Managing Director of PAM Hotels and General Manager of UNICO 18°77° Montego Bay.
“Every resort is shaped by the destination it calls home. Montego Bay gives us the opportunity to celebrate Jamaica’s culture, creativity, cuisine, and hospitality in a way that feels authentic to the island while staying true to the personalized experience that defines our brand.”
UNICO 18°77° Montego Bay will feature 451 guest rooms and suites, nearly all offering ocean views and private outdoor spa tubs, along with nine restaurants and bars, four pools, and the largest Esencia Wellness Spa in the UNICO Hotel Collection portfolio.

Designed for couples, solo travellers, celebrations, and group gatherings alike, the resort also offers flexible indoor and outdoor venues for meetings, weddings, and special events, including flexible meeting and event space featuring a grand ballroom, breakout rooms, and pre-function space.
Guests will also enjoy convenient access to Montego Bay’s golf courses, outdoor attractions, and nearby cultural attractions, creating opportunities to explore the destination beyond the resort.
At the heart of every stay is UNICO’s signature Local Host service, providing personalized assistance before and throughout each visit. Whether arranging dinner reservations, spa treatments, golf outings, or off-property excursions, Local Hosts curate each stay, allowing guests to spend less time planning and more time experiencing Jamaica.

Dining, wellness, and cultural discovery are central to the guest experience. The resort’s collection of restaurants and bars showcases globally inspired cuisine alongside the flavours and ingredients of Jamaica, while Esencia Wellness offers hydrotherapy, movement classes, beauty services, and restorative treatments inspired by the surrounding region.
Beyond the resort’s restaurants and wellness offerings, guests can enjoy a rotating calendar of live music, local spirits tastings, artisanal workshops, chef-led culinary experiences, outdoor wellness experiences, and cultural programming.
UNICO 18°77° Montego Bay will become the third resort in the collection, joining UNICO 20°87° Riviera Maya and UNICO 20°105° Riviera Nayarit. While each property reflects the distinct culture and character of its destination, all three share the brand’s commitment to locally inspired experiences, personalized service, and an elevated adults-only, all-inclusive stay.
Reservations are now open for stays beginning March 1, 2027.
