It is the polished alternative to Geejam’s jungle grit—think private plunge pools, resident peacocks, and a speakeasy jazz club.

Field notes
2h from KIN
Follow the Southern Coastal Highway for a clean two-hour drive. For the true grand entrance, book the 30-minute private helicopter transfer from Norman Manley directly to the hotel’s helipad. Avoid MBJ (4h+).
Saturday Jazz
Saturday night at Mike’s Supper Club is non-negotiable—it features a 1917 Ferrari-red Steinway and world-class live jazz. Spend your mornings at Frenchman’s Cove (5m drive) before the day-pass crowds arrive.
Modern Glamour
A 13-villa oceanfront estate on the edge of Port Antonio. Every room has a private plunge pool and outdoor soaking tub. The Time Bar features an NYC-trained mixologist and the parish’s deepest rum collection.
