Page 3 Location & Local Information

Set on Jamaica’s north coast, Goldeneye is located in Bay, 45 miles from the island’s capital, Kingston. Most flights arrive in Montego Bay, 73 miles to the west, but for guests arriving by private jet, the resort has its own airport – Ian Fleming International. Famous as the writer’s island home, Goldeneye – and this stretch of spectacular coastline, with its secret coves and lush jungle – provided the inspiration for the James Bond stories, and it is still a stunningly beautiful and romantic place, evoking a magical era of glamour and sophistication.

Guests may well choose to spend their entire time at the resort, enjoying the privacy and tranquillity. With stunning white sand beaches, beautiful pools, relaxed bars, a stylish restaurant, a spa, tennis courts and various watersports to enjoy, you may well find you need nothing more. However, Jamaica has plenty to see if you feel inclined to explore beyond this secluded paradise.

Just 20 minutes from Goldeneye is the bustling town of Ocho Rios, home to the famous Dunns River Falls, and to the spectacular Blue Hole – a natural limestone sinkhole filled with azure water, also known as Secret Falls. Jump into the water or swing from the rope in this magical, tropical setting. Dunns River Falls are exhilarating – a natural landscape of cascading falls where you can swim and paddle in this tropical paradise.

The spectacular Blue Mountains are well worth a visit for guests wishing to see more of the island’s beautiful natural scenery. Guided tours are available which will take you up into the mountains where you can go hiking or mountain biking. Explore the hillside villages, catch a glimpse of some of the island’s native birds and butterflies, and enjoy a refreshing swim in a waterfall pool. The Blue Mountains are also famous for the coffee which grows there, one of the best and most expensive in the world. Guided tours will take you to visit one of the many plantations where you can learn about the production process, from bean to cup.

Pay a day trip to Kingston, the island capital, a buzzing metropolis that is also home to Devon House. This wonderfully elegant mansion was built by one of the island’s first millionaires in 1881. Take a tour of this beautiful property and gardens and be sure to try the famous Devon House ice cream, widely regarded as some of the best ice cream in the world. Music lovers will want to pay a visit to the Bob Marley Museum. Housed in the Marley’s former home, it pays tribute to the legendary musician with an interesting collection of his prized possessions on display and a theatre where a short film tells the story of his life. It is advisable to book a guided tour in advance as the museum gets very busy.
