A Treasure Beach hideaway

So, you’ve been looking for a chic, romantic hideaway where you can enjoy peace, relaxation, privacy, and experience real Jamaican culture. Of course, this place must also be comfortable with great views and close to the beach. Welcome to Villa Optima, a spacious, 3-bedroom, beachfront, air-conditioned villa with a wrap-around verandah that leads to a pool in the back. Perfect for couples or a group of friends, each bedroom comes with its own bathroom, ceiling fan, satellite television and lots more.

Feel real Jamaica vibes

This Treasure Beach villa, at the end of a quiet road, is tucked away along the isolated and breathtakingly beautiful South Coast of Jamaica – far away from the hordes of the busy tourist towns. Treasure Beach is the popular name for a string of fishing villages known for their friendly locals, good food, slow pace of life, empty natural beaches, and unspoiled rural beauty. The area is one of the few untouched, old school places, off the traditional tourist map, where you can still feel real Jamaican vibes.

Vacay at a ganja friendly property

Guests are allowed to smoke anywhere on this ganja friendly property. You may want to stop at one of the herb houses in Montego Bay ahead of your 2 1/2-hour trip to the villa and, if you need more smokes during your stay, there are several small growers in the area that are available to replenish your stash. Plus, you will be greeted by a welcome gift of ganja infused cookies on arrival. Interested in ganja infused meals, just ask your chef.

Secluded but with good access to restaurants

If you are looking for a place in Treasure Beach that really captures the laid-back Jamaican feel, but with good access to restaurants and amenities, Villa Optima is a great choice. You can stumble out the door to your own (practically) private beach and it’s an easy stroll into town to popular spots like Jakes and Jack Sprat. Your hosts, Paolo and Tia, live next door and are very responsive to calls, email and texts. You can also rely on them for suggestions and recommendations about the things that you should not leave Treasure Beach without trying.

Your own private chef

You may choose to cook your own meals or dine at neighborhood restaurants but why would you when the villa comes with a chef to prepare delicious Jamaican cuisine for you. You are responsible for groceries but, with proper notice, your villa can be stocked ahead of time with your favorite foods.

Tours and activities

Boat tours to Pelican Bar – a bar out in the middle of the ocean to sun, drink, eat, watch the dolphins, play dominoes, or, whatever – is a popular activity. There are lots of other things to do – cycling, hiking, fishing, Black River safari tours to see crocodiles, YS Falls and more.
