Phoenix at Tryall Club

Phoenix is a colossal, elegant seaside villa located at the famed Tryall Club in Montego Bay. A golfer’s paradise, Tryall Club has been ranked by Condé Nast as one of the top places to stay in the world. Steps from the first tee of an eighteen hole championship course, as well as the beach club and bar, Phoenix is ideally located to take advantage of Tryall Club’s many perks.

Enjoy the sand at your private enclosed beach. Or lounge around the circular pool romantically located in the center courtyard. Midday, if you start to get peckish, relax in the shade of the verandah for some alfresco dining. High speed Wi-Fi, golf carts and a full staff are complimentary.

The large, open, airy rooms and verandas are quintessentially Jamaican in feel and function. While cozy rattan furniture adorns the spacious living area, outdoor living is the hallmark of Phoenix. The feng shui of the at least partially covered verandas and walkways enhance the warm feelings of the fresh Jamaican sea air as you relax in the extensive shady areas.

The villa takes advantage of the prevailing trade winds so that the air conditioners found in all the bedrooms are seldom necessary. Offered as either a four bedroom (East Wing), or six or seven bedroom, the East Wing offers the central swimming pool, a private beach and extensive grounds, while the West Wing provides an additional living pavilion and private beach. The many accommodation options make Phoenix a unique destination for large golfing groups and families of up to fourteen.

Membership to the Tryall Club includes access to the golf course, tennis courts and beach cafe. Our concierge will be happy to provide more information. After your stay at Phoenix, you will emerge feeling reborn and rejuvenated, much like the radiant mythic bird for which the villa has been named.

Golden Pavilion

Etched into the hillside above Little Bay, Golden Pavilion Villa sits within 4 gated acres of private mature gardens and enjoys panoramic ocean views. Tropical birds ride warm breezes up the cliff to sip from the infinity pool while turtles, rays and the occasional whale can be seen from the deck. Every detail of this Balinese-inspired luxury villa has been created with your comfort in mind and the estate manager lives in a house nearby.

Complimentary drinks and snacks are served on arrival, followed by a welcome tour of your villa. Follow the garden paths to sunken stone retreats and secluded nooks at the cliff’s edge to admire the sensational views. Laid-back Caribbean living is encouraged here – put your feet up in a hammock and swing to your favorite tunes on the outdoor speakers while the barbecue sizzles. A heated infinity pool appears to drop into the ocean below and the outdoor hot tub invites you to soak away your cares. For family fun, pick up a boogie board, foam raft and some buckets and shovels before heading to the beach for snorkeling.

Step indoors for even more home comforts. Traditional Indonesian sculptures, distinctive art and intricate furniture grace the Great Room, creating a refined British colonial flair, and vaulted wooden ceilings and bright colors lend an airy, open feel to the rooms. The family room is stocked full of book and DVD libraries, complemented by a host of digital entertainment options. Upstairs the gallery enjoys 360˚ views and boasts a billiards table, wet bar and flat screen TV. A roomy modern kitchen makes entertaining easy, but if you don’t feel like cooking, take up the six-day weekly cook service. You can burn off any extra calories in the air-conditioned gym.

Accommodation at Golden Pavilion villa is split between the main house and a separate cottage with its own kitchen, living and dining areas. Imported four-poster beds, exotic fabrics, deluxe en-suite bathrooms and heavy blackout drapes create havens of peace and luxury and the master bedroom boasts a luxurious jetted tub.

It would be perfectly understandable if you didn’t want to leave your villa, and yoga sessions, personal trainers and spa treatments can all be arranged at extra cost. However, if you feel like exploring, the beach is a 7 minute walk and it’s only 15 minutes’ drive to Road Town. For something different, take a 30 minute boat ride to the islands.
