GoldenEye

Embrace your inner 007 at this gorgeous seaside retreat where Ian Fleming had a licence to chill...

Our Review

The name’s Travel: My Boutique Travel. Welcome to the alluring boutique resort of GoldenEye - the sprawling estate of Ian Fleming (renowned creator and author of the James Bond series) in Oracabessa Bay on Jamaica’s north coast. This gorgeous 52-acre property is rich in creative energy and an abundant source of inspiration. This abundance can now be yours to experience, as you embrace your inner secret agent’s desire for seduction and taste for the finer things in life.

Fleming Villa is pure seclusion and romance, with its own private beach, pool, gardens and full-time staff. The master suite is called the 007 bedroom, and like the rotating cast of actors playing the part of James Bond, you too can assume the role with Fleming’s original writing desk and large bamboo four poster bed. Bathe in the garden’s signature outdoor clawfoot tub and dine al fresco beneath the almond trees planted by the author, on the white sand beach, or in the protected Fleming cave. Even if you’re not a Bond aficionado, the Fleming Villa will leave your senses refreshingly shaken and your heart stirred.

Aside from the aforementioned crown jewel of GoldenEye, the rest of the accommodation is remarkably magnificent, from the sprawling one- and two-bedroom beach and lagoon villas (in all their exuberant rustic luxury) to the Lagoon Cottages, perched peacefully upon the water. The Brazilian hardwood verandas of the Cottages jut out over the tranquil lagoon and each private dock comes equipped with its own kayak for you to explore (rumor has it they were designed and modified by Q Division).

The dining at GoldenEye is a veritable sensory adventure in itself. Bizot Bar is named after the legendary French counter-culture connoisseur and is a supremely stylish low key poolside restaurant serving phenomenal taste sensations, all set to the soundtrack of France’s Radio Nova. Or dine in the sexy treehouse lounge and restaurant of The Gazebo, for martinis and international cuisine alongside a fire-breathing sunset.

And speaking of which, you can stay as agile as Bond with a Sunset Yoga class, core training, team morning runs, tennis, mountain biking, and an abundance of water sports. Be as cool under pressure as 007 with a session at FieldSpa - attracting positive energy and mindful vibrancy into your life with the indulgently pampering treatments and therapies available. If you've ever wanted to be James Bond (or be with him) here’s your best chance: illustrious luxury living in pure Jamaican style.
