Negril runs on the Seven Mile Beach corridor — Long Bay for swimming and snorkeling, the West End cliffs for sunset and slightly cheaper rent. Internet is the chokepoint: Flow and Digicel fiber works in most villa rentals but degrades to slow 4G in beach bars and outdoor coworking spots. Visa-free 90 days for US/UK/Canada/EU on arrival — no formal nomad visa as of 2026. Reggae Sumfest in late July and Negril Carnival in spring are the local-calendar inflections; book ahead. Skip if you want Kingston's urban density (4-hour drive across the island).

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
