A luxury bohemian boutique hotel

Jakes Hotel Villas & Spa is a stylish and modern luxury boutique hotel nestled in the quaint fishing village of Treasure Beach in Jamaica. Located on the south coast of the island, one hour drive away from the International airport of Montego Bay, Jakes Hotel faces the Caribbean Sea. The relaxed beauty of the natural island landscape accented by vividly designed cottages is the defining visual aesthetic of Jake's. An excellent daily fresh local cuisine and a one-of-a-kind spa treatments menu are just an example of the hotel's top of the range services. Both families and couples will love this luxury bohemian paradise where all is about love. Love for the place, and love for its people.

A multi-colored hotel in a multi-colored island

The whole resort has been finely built using local resources, in harmony with its unique destination. Everything has been designed by the hotel's owner Sally Henzell, a theatre-set designer, who took inspiration from Moroccan, Indian and Adobe influences as well as from the Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi. All these different styles transform the hotel in a multi-colored environment which blends perfectly with the local landscape and culture.
The rooms are a combination of chic sensuality, modern luxury and artistic flair. The 30 rooms, cottages and villas, each distinct in its own way, have all an amazing ocean and garden view and large outdoor spaces which will directly plunge you in the wild nature of the island.
For an exclusive view and location we recommend the Deluxe Oceanfront Suite overhanging the water's edge, could allow you to fish directly off the verandah. And couples have Honeymoon Suites especially addressed to them with private verandas, outside bath and shower overlooking the sea, upstairs patio with daybed and lounging area. Fridge and Ipod dock are all included in every room.
