Portland, Jamaica

First “discovered” by Errol Flynn (who soon made the Parish his home), Portland has, for decades, attracted movie-stars, musicians, and movie producers seeking an idyllic, tropical getaway or exotic production location. The parish is still relatively undeveloped, and retains its natural charm and beauty, which makes this land for sale in Portland ideal for the development of a luxury, tropical resort and property development. Hundreds of millions of US Dollars of public and private investment has recently taken place in Portland, which has positioned the parish for a boom in the tourism industry.

Jamaica has a favourable investment climate, especially with regard to the hospitality industry and a number of attractive tax incentives are currently offered by the Jamaican Government to investors.
