Small, civilized and elegantly traditional, Jamaica Inn, a Caribbean retreat, is situated on the best secret stretch of beach in Ocho Rios. A broad reef within swimming distance protects this clear water and the beach where most guests take up residence under a thatched umbrella. The swimming pool is just steps away. For the more energetic, there are Sunfish, kayaks, croquet and an exercise room. There is also terrific snorkeling off the beach and the beachman can take you sailing or you can sail alone. Tennis is available next door, golf nearby as are horseback riding and ecotours of local natural and historic sites.

Accommodations are spacious and impeccable. Each room or suite has a private balustraded balcony overlooking the water and is furnished with Jamaican antiques and well-crafted period pieces. The sitting area has a full size sofa, wing chair, breakfast table and writing desk. Louvered doors lead to the sleeping area. Superb privacy and luxury can be found in Jamaica Inn's new Cottages which enjoy all Jamaica Inn amenities.

The extraordinary cuisine is European with a Caribbean twist. Dinner is on the lamp lit terrace under the stars. The freshest local fruits, vegetables and seafood are at the heart of the menu and a superb wine list supports the culinary efforts.

Jamaican traditions mix with Ayurveda and Fijian treatments at the Jamaica Inn's newly opened KiYara Spa. Here, the emphasis is on spiritual well being and natural curatives. Each treatment is designed to soothe and nurture the body, mind and spirit. Choose from an exotic selection of facial and body treatments that bring a truly holistic approach to the spa experience!

Comfort and service reign in this spectacular setting and no request is too small from a Jamaican Inn guest.
