Palmyard Guesthouse, also known fondly as Palm Yard Hostel is nestled in the tranquil area of Long Bay, Portland Parish.

We pride ourselves on offering a warm, laid-back retreat that’s ideal for travellers seeking an authentic Jamaican stay without sacrificing community and comfort.

Our accommodation is often described by guests as “very rustic and peaceful” – a true escape where simplicity meets serenity.

At Palmyard, we foster a friendly, welcoming atmosphere: our team can help organise surf lessons, board rentals or shuttle services so you can make the most of Portland’s natural beauty.

Location-wise, we offer easy access to some of the area’s gems, including Long Bay Beach, local eateries and Portland’s scenic trails – while keeping the price point accessible for backpackers, small groups or solo travellers.
