Fodor's Expert Review GoldenEye

North Coast Hwy., Ocho Rios, St. Ann, Jamaica Fodor's Choice

Whether you're a fan of James Bond or luxury getaways in general, this exclusive address 20 minutes east of Ocho Rios holds special appeal as the property was purchased in 1946 by James Bond creator Ian Fleming, who built a villa that is now owned by Island Records founder Chris Blackwell. The main property features more than 40 accommodations categorized as villas, beach huts, and lagoon cottages, but the exclusive Fleming Villa is located on a separate parcel of land with its own private beach, pool, and dedicated staff. Dining is available at the gazebo restaurant, and the bar has a soundtrack selected by Blackwell. Paddle across the lagoon to the FieldSpa for natural open-air treatments.

PROS

  • spacious cottages and villas
  • plenty of privacy
  • tree house spa overlooking the lagoon

CONS
