Bliss by the Sea (USD 390/night) is Located on one of the most pristine beaches in Treasure Beach, Jamaica, this art deco home built in the 1950s, offers breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and the Great Pedro Bluff. The bumpy track leading to the villa may at first appear to be somewhat rustic but it ensures peace and privacy as well as adding to the quiet charm.
Lobster and tenderloid surf & turf, snapper ceviche, ackee and saltfish sliders, lamb chops and bread pudding, are among the dishes served over the years, with the free flowing wine perhaps the most exotic item on the table. Each month, Jakes Hotel organizes farm-to-table dinners (US$100 per person) by moonlight at Farmer Dull's a few minutes inland from Treasure Beach in Southfield.
Coquina is a three-bedroom beachfront villa on Great Pedro Bay, the eastern most of a string of coves together known as Treasure Beach. Coquina is set back from the water, separated from the beach by a sloping lawn and Blue Marlin, a four-bedroom sister villa that can be rented together for larger groups.
77 West (US$130) is a five-unit boutique hotel built on a bluff overlooking a protected cove in Billy's Bay, Treasure Beach. The property is centered around a four-foot-deep pool surrounded by a large sunbathing deck with the rooms perched a few steps higher overlooking the sea.
Lashings Boutique Hotel & Villas (from US$66) has five double occupancy rooms with king-size beds, ceiling fans, en suite bathrooms and Wi-Fi. A two-bedroom penthouse apartment on the top level has a large outdoor living area, and a king bed in each room, one of which can be separated into two twins.
Cave Canem is a beautifully constructed four-bedroom villa seemingly transplanted from a greek isle located on a private protected beach in Billy's Bay.
Kotch Villa offers the fullness of living in simply designed spaces surrounded by nature and pastoral views. Each home is thoughtfully designed with eye-catching interior furnishings and outfitted with the creature comforts you need to feel transported.
