Caribbean Classics

Understated Elegance & Discretion Jamaica Inn & Spa, Ocho Rios, Jamaica Hidden away on a secluded sandy cove just east of Ocho Rios, Jamaica Inn is renowned for its high standards of service and luxury, a position it has zealously maintained since opening in 1950.The discrete service and understated elegance, both of which made it a haven for mid-century movie stars like Marilyn Monroe and Katharine Hepburn is still very much part of the charm of the hotel. 55 intimate suites and cottages showcase enchanting views of the Caribbean Sea and feature either a large furnished verandah or balustrade balcony from which to enjoy the calming sea breeze. Retaining an air of colonial Jamaica, the hotel ‘s core structure displays a refreshing combination white columns and bright blue arches with the flow of buildings spreading from the heart of the small bay to remote cottages on each of the two headlands. Dining is on an outdoor terrace with stunning, uninterrupted sea views and delectable cuisine. For total relaxation, the Ocean Spa specialises in locally inspired treatments using products drawn from the plants of the island, sourced from local organic farmers and wildgathered by environmentally sustainable methods. It’s time for a Planter’s Punch Not only does Jamaica Inn have one of the longest private beaches on the island at 700 metres, but wherever you decide to grab yourself on a sun lounger you will be visited at 11.30am with a complimentary Planters Punch. 74
