Sleep and Sanctuary

Jamaica Inn takes the most pride in its stunning accommodations. Expect a polished aesthetic adorned in crisp whites and Wedgewood blue, subtle tropical elements throughout, dark wood furniture and traditional antique silhouettes consistent with the Inn’s mid-century beginnings.

Find beautiful ocean views from all 48 suites and cottages set against a backdrop of green grass and vibrant flowers. There are no TVs, radios or clocks furnished in the rooms, as not to disturb you from the magnificent seaview. You will, however, still find some modern amenities such as air conditioning and complimentary wifi.

Each suite also boasts a writing desk should you aim to follow Ian Fleming’s footsteps. The Jamaica suites feature their own furnished balcony or spacious verandah overlooking the hotel’s private beach or the Caribbean Sea. The more modern feeling Cottages each have private access steps into the ocean as well as private infinity pools. No wonder Marilyn Monroe chose to stay here for her honeymoon.

Eat. Pray. Eat.

Dining should be a sensory experience and at Jamaica Inn’s open-air restaurant, all your senses will be thanking you. Every one of Chef Maurice Henry’s locally sourced and delectable creations comes with a double helping of spectacular views and ocean breezes. Choose from an array of traditional favorites and local delights for breakfast, refuel your energy with a freshly made casual meal for lunch, or have a little fun with Jamaican rum and hors d’oeuvres after a day of adventures.

Kick back on the terrace and enjoy changing daily menus (inspired by Chef Maurice’s regular trips to the nearby farmer’s market) under the starry Caribbean sky, surrounded by live reggae music. Ah, island style at its finest.

Those hankering for a bite while embracing the Inn’s romantic geography can choose to feast in the convenience of your private verandah, on the soft sands of the beach or al fresco on the restaurant’s patio. While most of the menu contains seafood, they do have several vegetarian options and are always happy to accommodate any special dietary requests during your stay.

The Art of De-stressing

Relax and recover in the hug of nature with a signature spa treatment from The Ocean Spa at Jamaica Inn. This tranquil outdoor spa is nestled within the cliffs of Cutlass Bay and features treatments drawn from local plants, sourced from local organic farmers and wild-gathered by environmentally sustainable methods.

Try the Seaweed Body Mask, a full body seaweed mask that improves overall circulatory stimulation, encourages elimination of toxins, and softens and smoothes the skin, topped with a massage utilizing seaweed body cream. Then, enjoy your new found bliss as you sip an iced lemongrass tea while listening to the calming sounds of ocean waves.

Don’t listen to those who claim breaking a sweat on vacation is impossible either, the Ocean Spa at Jamaica Inn offers circuit training, personal training, private yoga instruction and many more fitness classes throughout the week year round.
