Almost like an illusion perched on the side of a mountain is Greatview, a magnificent villa in the Montego Bay area of Jamaica. The cliffhanging swimming pools at differing levels make a splendid sight from across the valley. The guiding hand of Greatview’s creator and the commitment of its staff are evident in the upscale decor and careful attention to detail found at every corner.

Many features make Greatview particularly family friendly. Take advantage of the media room with library, Wi-Fi access and laptop, fitness room, Nintendo Wii as well as billiards, foosball, air hockey, ping pong and arcade tables. The Greatview property even includes a log cabin tree house nestled between Sea Grape and Poor Man’s Orchid trees. Perfect for the magical world of the child, a winding staircase leads to a spacious living room furnished for special tree house lunches, games and crafts. A full staff, including driver and chef, are present to assist you with your needs.

Few villas capture “open and airy” with the mastery of design embodied at Greatview. The covered pavilion is no doubt the social heart of the villa. It’s a great place from which to admire the vibrant colors, birdsongs and fragrances of the adjoining tropical gardens. For sun lovers, the deck over the kitchen offers an opportunity to catch some rays, while partial covering accommodates those who prefer shade. Amateur astronomers can congregate here at night to watch the stars through Greatview’s telescope.

The six spacious and stately bedrooms at Greatview accommodate up to twelve guests. The main bedrooms include en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and cable TV. The sweeping views from each are mystifying and the well-chosen artworks provide feelings of familiarity.

Despite its formidable sheer mountain presence, the main floor rooms, covered pavilion and two master bedroom suites at Greatview are wheelchair accessible and designed to accommodate the physically challenged. This luxury retreat makes a perfect destination for multi-generational families or a group of friends looking to get away from it all. Close to many premiere golfing options, there will surely be something for everyone at Greatview!

Lovingly designed by Prince Kasimir Korybut in 1993 and brilliantly renovated in 2012, Almond Hill is a gorgeous private home located on a former 500-acre coconut plantation within the exclusive Round Hill Estate, west of Montego Bay. Lush vegetation and high iron gates seclude this contemporary villa which is ideal for guests who are comfortable with friendly dogs. Dervy, Button, Cocoa and Survivor are fun family pets who enjoy free run of the house and grounds. All guests are granted complimentary resort membership of Round Hill Resort Club and there is a wealth of activities to enjoy in your backyard.

A team of staff takes all the hassle out of daily life and at Almond Hill you have access to your own housekeeper, cook, butler, laundry service, gardener and night watchman to keep you safe and comfortable. Perhaps the centerpiece of this fine house is the wrap-around verandah, cooled by trade winds and enjoying partial sea views. It’s a haven for reading and napping, sipping afternoon tea and indulging in drowsy conversation. You’ll never be short of something to read here – there are bookshelves in almost every room! Pull your favorite from the shelf and swing away an afternoon in a hammock or rest poolside on a luxury lounger under the shelter of a calico umbrella. Following a revitalizing dip in your sculpted pool, shower off and head for the well-cushioned poolside gazebo – the perfect hideaway for a shaded lunch or some private laptop time.

Clean white walls are adorned with colorful artwork throughout and sliding doors in the bedrooms make the most of the manicured lawns and calming views. In the evenings you might prefer to settle in the elegant living room and peruse the tall library shelves for books and movies. Or select some music, recline on a deep-seated sofa and listen on the 6-speaker sound system. Dining by romantic candlelight on the verandah is another option, as you admire the twinkling lights of the town and cruise ships reflected on the bay.

By night your dreams will be deep as you rest in a picture-perfect air-cooled bedroom. All four are en-suite and three enjoy access to the garden. The Master bedroom boasts a king-size bed and outdoor shower. Bedroom Four is fitted with a queen-size bed while Bedrooms Two and Three have twins.

As well as the shared amenities of the Resort Club listed below, you’re a quick drive from Round Hill Beach and only 22 minutes’ drive from the town of Montego Bay and Sangster International Airport.

Bambu

4th March 2016 Comments are off for this post

Nine miles west of Montego Bay is a large private site overlooking perhaps the most glorious view of sea and sky on Jamaica’s renowned North Coast. Elegantly perched on eight and a half acres atop a hill is Bambu, a grand six-bedroom private villa distinguished by its classic architecture and appreciated by discerning vacationers.

Wi-Fi access, Apple television, new marble bathrooms and a state-of-the-art kitchen complement lovely new interiors. Bambu’s extensive grounds and gardens are also noteworthy and incredibly relaxing. The dedicated team of gardeners have created a lush and lavish tropical paradise, with natural stone pathways that wind through gardens to plush private terraces. The villa has a separate entrance for wheelchair users and the Bambu pool features a broad 4″ deep wheelchair platform as well. This shallow water platform is also a safe pool area for toddlers. Breakfast at the river is a marvelous way to start your day. Cocktails on the terrace over the bay and dinner in the gazebo feature one of the most beautiful night time light shows anywhere in the world.

Multi-million dollar renovations of interiors and grounds have resulted in an impressive facelift of this elegant grand dame. Today its modern comforts and infrastructure mesh with Bambu’s original Euro charm and glamour. Its newest feature is an open-air garden shower and bathtub outside a small hideaway bedroom downhill from the main house, which is further enhanced by a nine-mile view across Montego Bay. Bambu was designed by architect Robert Hartley in the early 1960’s as a unique melding of West Indies architecture and Italian Venetian style. Its Palladian arches, dramatic central pool and Italian sculptures make it one of the most photographed homes in this collection.

Bambu has six bedrooms in all, one of which has been designed to be a children’s room. The master bedroom is wheelchair accessible and has two en-suite bathrooms, office, dressing room and access to a covered veranda with captivating ocean views.

If you’ve left your pets at home while you’re on vacation, be advised that Bambu is home to three affectionate Mastiff pups. At your preference, they may be allowed to roam the grounds and come in to play with you or be kept in their large, open-air kennel. Sangster International Airport (MBJ) and town are just over 20 minutes by car from this gracious and opulent vacation home.

Noble House

4th March 2016 Comments are off for this post

Noble House on the Beach certainly lives up to its name. This elegant beachside vacation home can be combined with two neighboring deluxe villas to create a 15-bedroom compound, ideal for social events and family reunions. Designed around a series of airy pavilions with peaked roofs, the house’s living spaces are separated by water gardens and bridges, lending it an Oriental grace which flows from the inside out. Rooms are cooled by ceiling fans and open to the outdoors through tall mahogany French doors via private porches.

The centerpiece of the 600-square-foot main pavilion is the Great Room, hugged by a wrap-around verandah with gleaming white Jamaican marble floors. From here, a Japanese footbridge arches over a reflecting pool to the formal dining room which gazes out to the lush tropical gardens and mesmerizing ocean views beyond. Adjacent are a full bar and powder room. Outdoors, winding paths lead through park-like gardens to an herb garden, wild orchid and several tropical fruit trees, while croquet, badminton and volleyball are popular pastimes on the lawn. A sculpted pool mirrors the pristine white sands and turquoise waters of the beautiful beach beyond and is the perfect spot for a lazy day.

Meals here merit special attention. Accomplished Noble House chef Jerome artfully presents North American, Jamaican and Continental cuisine and is experienced in handling all Kosher requirements. Breakfasts are cooked to order and served on the main verandah overlooking the gardens, while a light lunch can be savored by the pool or beach, or on the shaded verandah. Celebratory dinners can be enjoyed in the formal dining room under an elegant crystal chandelier. For a less formal occasion, dine on the open-air verandah or barefoot at a picnic table by the water’s edge.

Four of the five opulent air-conditioned bedrooms at Noble House are graced with king-size beds and all are served by deluxe en-suite bathrooms. In the main house, the Master bedroom enjoys access to a private verandah while Bedrooms Two and Three boast private porches. In the Pool Cottage, the fourth bedroom leads to a small patio, while Bedroom Five is fitted with twin beds and has its own living room.

Guests of Noble House share a tennis and basketball court with the neighboring villa and may use Tryall Club’s amenities (fees may apply). Marine adventurers can explore Holden’s Reef by kayak and snorkel with tropical fish. Round Hill restaurants, shopping and nightlife are a 6 minute drive and it’s 16 minutes to Sangster International Airport.

Serenity on the Beach

Stretching along the coast of Jamaica near Montego Bay, Serenity on the Beach is a property that truly lives up to its name. Its traditional gazebo roofline and charming blue and white color scheme create a gracious, inviting retreat. Let the staff of this four-bedroom villa pamper you, or enjoy the amenities at the nearby Round Hill or Tryall Club resorts.

The villa has its own heated swimming pool, terrace, chaise longues, hammock, two outdoor showers and a long veranda with shaded sitting and dining areas. Tote the beach toys and snorkeling gear to the beach, just steps from the terrace, or take the kayak out to explore the reef in the bay. Flip on the sound system, browse via Wi-Fi or pick from the music and movie collections for the evening’s entertainment. The villa shares a tennis and basketball court with the neighboring property, and guests can access the beach and kids’ clubs, fitness rooms, golf courses, restaurants and bars at nearby resorts at extra cost.

The bright, cheerful living spaces at Serenity on the Beach are connected by the marble veranda stretching the length of the house. Inside, white walls and upholstery, stone floors, vaulted ceilings, wicker sofas and blue accents create the breezy, comfortable atmosphere for which Caribbean homes are famous. Enjoy a barefoot dinner on the beach, or a more formal meal in the carved-leg chairs in the dining room. Cook service is included in your stay, but the fully equipped kitchen has stainless steel appliances and a pass-through to the living room.

Each of the four bedrooms at Serenity on the Beach has an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and a TV. The master suite has a king bed and private veranda, and a second bedroom with a king bed has access to the pool terrace. The other two bedrooms each have two twin beds, which can be converted to king beds, and outdoor showers, and are connected to each other.

The villa is located on Great River Bay Beach, but if you’d like to explore other beaches, Round Hill Beach Club is 2 miles away and Tryall Beach Club is 6.5 miles away. It’s a 6-minute walk from the property to the shopping, dining and nightlife in Round Hill, and an 11-minute drive to downtown Montego Bay. If it’s not a vacation without a round of golf, head to Half Moon Golf Course, 14 miles away, or Cinnamon Hill Golf Course, 16.5 miles away. When it’s time to leave, Sangster International Airport is just a 16-minute drive.
