Jamaica’s north coast is undergoing a quiet transformation, welcoming a wave of elevated resort experiences—and the latest addition promises to redefine luxury all-inclusives in the region.
UNICO, the boutique-inspired all-inclusive brand known for its Riviera Maya flagship, is set to open its first Caribbean property in 2026. The new resort, named UNICO 18°77°, marks the brand’s first move outside of Mexico and brings its signature blend of cultural immersion, contemporary design, and personalized service to Montego Bay.

A Thoughtfully Designed Escape
The adults-only, all-inclusive retreat will feature 451 guest rooms, including swim-up suites, hydro-spa tubs, and rare two-king-bed layouts—offering both versatility and comfort. Like its predecessor, UNICO 18°77° is expected to favor elegance and subtlety over excess, incorporating clean lines, a neutral palette, and décor inspired by its Jamaican surroundings.
Instead of a traditional all-inclusive experience, guests can expect à la carte dining, curated minibars, and culturally rooted programming—making this property more about connection than consumption.

Leading a Larger Vision
The development is part of a broader luxury master plan in Montego Bay, which will eventually host over 2,000 upscale rooms under multiple hospitality brands. UNICO is the first to officially begin development, highlighting the company’s confidence in Jamaica’s growing appeal among discerning travelers.
This expansion follows a wider movement across the island, as high-end travelers seek out resorts that blend lifestyle, sustainability, and authenticity. From reimagined legacy hotels to new boutique ventures, Jamaica’s hospitality evolution is in full swing.
