What the numbers say
In 2026, Jamaica has 10 nationwide public holidays and Haiti has 20, so Haiti gets 10 more days off. They line up on 4 dates, including New Year's Day, Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and Christmas Day.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Jamaica has 7 on working days (3 fall on a weekend), against 15 for Haiti (5 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Jamaica offers 4 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 2 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Haiti offers 7 and 6. Haiti has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is April in Jamaica and January in Haiti.
