Jake’s Treasure Beach Hotel, Treasure Beach, Jamaica:
Jake’s Treasure Beach, a 29-room bohemian resort set on six acres of land in Treasure Beach, is a hotspot for hip guests and locals alike. Dramatic cottages commune with the garden, sea and sky, near a secluded fishing village. Moroccan domes and arches bloom. Decks skim the waves. Shells, beads and colored glass glitter brightly from walls.
Jake’s Chic Shack package provides an opportunity for guests to stay in one of the resort’s original 24 “chic shacks,” as voted by Vogue magazine, includes a trip to the legendary Pelican Bar (dubbed the coolest bar in the Caribbean for those in the know), round-trip airport transfers and a sunset dinner at the famed Lovers Leap. Jake’s Chic Shack package also includes two therapeutic steam ‘sessions’ and massages with local Rastafari legend Shirley. Rates for this five-night package start at $1,695 based on double occupancy.
Goldeneye, Oracabessa, Jamaica:
The birthplace of James Bond, this 15-acre seaside hideaway was home to author Ian Fleming as he wrote his 13 most famous spy novels. Fleming’s retreat is now a boutique resort laced with beaches, tropical forests and secluded nooks, a lush setting which found its way into many 007 adventures. Four intimate villas on the sea, one overlooking a cove, attract celebrities and other lovers of natural beauty.
GoldenEye’s Chic Shack package lets guests choose between skimming the coastline on a complimentary Jet Ski Safari or enjoying a tour of Firefly, the former home of British playwright Sir Noel Coward. Rates for this five-night package start at $3,750 based on double occupancy.
Strawberry Hill Living, Irish Town, Jamaica:
Set on a former coffee estate, steps from the neighborhoods that inspired Bob Marley’s soulful lyrics, Strawberry Hill boasts sweeping views of Jamaica’s Blue Mountains and the Caribbean Sea, all bathed in lush mountain mists. Twelve airy cottages cluster beside the Caribbean’s only Aveda Concept Spa, located at the property. Wood-shingled and gracious, the architecture reflects the original nineteenth-century buildings that once stood here with cooling louvers, ceiling fans, fretwork and gables.
Strawberry Hill’s Chic Shack package serves as an introduction to the resort ’s Elemental approach, beginning with a signature Aveda Elemental Nature Questionnaire. This allows therapists to create personalized treatments and self-care rituals based on each guest’s elemental sign, bringing them back into balance with a stress relieving treatment. The Elemental approach carries through guests’ stay here, as the property suggests dining options and activities in order to maintain this key balance throughout guests’ stay. Starting at $3,775 for five nights based on double occupancy, Strawberry Hill Living’s Chick Shack package includes three guided hikes and the choice of a tour of St. Mark’s chapel, Craighton Coffee Plantation, the Gordon Town Trail or a beach day with a picnic at the famous Lime Key beach.
