An iconic retreat in Oracabessa Bay, Jamaica, once Ian Fleming’s home, offering private villas and cottages. Known for its historic charm, lush gardens, and pristine beaches, it’s a paradise for relaxation and creativity.
Welcome to the resort where Ian Fleming typed 2,000 words daily and Chris Blackwell (yes, Bob Marley's producer) turned spy lair into island flair. Your options range from beach villas (where Beyoncé deigns to stay) to charming cottages that make "village life" feel remarkably well-funded.
Traffic noise occasionally infiltrates - apparently even MI6 can't silence the ring road. Pro tip: Skip the beach obsession and embrace canal living, where every morning feels like a potential movie opening.
Fancy the VIP treatment? Book with us, and we’ll make it happen. Early check-in, late check-out? Sorted. Free breakfast? Of course. F+B voucher? We’ll work on it. Room upgrade? Probably.
It’s all about who you know, and with our FORA partnership, you’re always in the inner circle. We’ll confirm what perks we’ve arranged before you ever pay.
Fifty-eight acres where literary history meets Caribbean cool, sandwiched between ring road rhythm and ocean whispers.

Food + Drink On-site surprises
From Beachside Bites to Gazebo Glamour
Three bars ensure strategic cocktail deployment across all 58 acres, while dining three dining venues range from water-side sophistication at The Gazebo (8.5/10 - those fries aren't messing around) to beach shack authenticity that makes 'rustic' feel intentionally perfect. Evening entertainment skips the lounge act clichés for genuine Jamaican rhythm - credit Mr. Blackwell's musical pedigree. The beach bar masters that delicate balance between "barefoot casual" and "Beyoncé was here," while bonfires provide that crucial post-dinner plot development.
