Nine Mile

About

Nestled in the heart of the lush, rolling hills of St. Ann Parish, the tiny village of Nine Mile is cemented in history for its cultural significance. It was the birthplace, childhood home, and now final resting place of one of the world’s most beloved musical icons: Bob Marley. For fans of reggae music and Marley himself, a visit to Nine Mile is a pilgrimage of sorts, offering a chance to connect with the roots of the genre and pay homage to its most famous son. The Bob Marley Museum, located on the grounds of Marley’s former home, is a must-visit and provides a glimpse into Marley’s life: from his humble beginnings to his rise as a global superstar. Marley’s mausoleum is also located on the property, where he lays together with his half-brother and Mamma Marley. The tours are provided by Rastafarian guides, and visitors can also find a restaurant and gift shops on the property. Complemented by the breathtaking natural beauty of the place, a visit to Nine Nile will complete your trip to Jamaica.
