A much sought after destination for vacationers seeking a Caribbean haven for relaxation, Chris Blackwell owner of Island Outpost resorts is transforming his current hotel site into a genuine seawater spa resort set to rival the very definition of tropical escapes. Goldeneye resort will nestle among tropical greenery and flourishing gardens overlooking Jamaica’s northern coast. Set in the secluded in St.Mary parish in the quiet village of Oracabessa, visitors are a stone’s throw from the action if they so choose with Ocho Rios in St. Ann’s parish a 20-minute drive away, offering a variety of shops, restaurants, and numerous natural attractions. With a choice of 2 airport links Montego Bay, is a two-hour drive away whilst Kingston Airport in Jamaica’s capital city is the alternative at two-and-a-half hours.
Paying homage to its heritage, the resort takes its name from the original island retreat belonging to British spy author Ian Fleming who penned 13 James Bond novels and whose movie inspired the resorts Goldeneye title. The very essence of true “getaway”, this oasis tastefully combines luxury with casual informality where privacy is a fundamental part of design.
The first phase of the development, an 18-acre seaside refuge, is currently awaiting government approval. With ground breaking expected in mid-summer, marketing is underway for the Goldeneye Residences comprising beach cottages, cove huts and extravagantly priced lagoon villas. A plethora of amenities include private lagoons and beaches, outdoor showers, a flood-lit tennis court, and spa services are close by.
