Jamaica

GoldenEye spirit and the long northern coast

Couples·Culture·Honeymoons
The brief

Jamaica, the literary kind — GoldenEye, Round Hill and the long northern coast.

We book Jamaica for travellers who want texture as much as beach. GoldenEye for the Ian Fleming hand-me-down magic, Round Hill for the old Hollywood week, Jamaica Inn for the Noel Coward thread.

The country itself is louder and more rewarding than the resorts let on — plan a day with a private guide in the Blue Mountains.
