Book NowStrawberry Hill Review
A 45-minute drive from Kingston—but worlds apart in terms of atmosphere—this exclusive resort was developed by Chris Blackwell, former head of Island Records (the late Bob Marley's label). Perched in the Blue Mountains, it's where the rich and famous go to retreat and relax. The resort has an infinity pool, Aveda spa, and pure relaxation in Georgian-style cottages. This is one Jamaican property not for beach buffs but for those in search of gourmet dining thanks to its on-site restaurant, which, on a clear day, offers unbeatable views over the capital city. The cottages survey the Blue Mountains from expansive porches, most with an oversized hammock. Every bed has an electric mattress pad to warm things up on chilly evenings; mosquito nets surround you, and because there's no air-conditioning, guests usually prefer to keep windows open, which can make rooms buggy. Guests are also given cell phones to use during their visit.
