Amanoka
Caribbean rental villa, Discovery Bay, Jamaica
Amanoka is one of the newest and largest villas on beautiful Discovery Bay. From the spacious verandah and pool, a barefoot stroll leads down a soft lawn to the 70’ white sand beach, clear turquoise water and waterfront gazebo with suspended canvas swings. The waterfront gazebo is a heavenly spot for late afternoon massages.
True to its name, Aman-oka is a “peaceful home” of exquisite design and restful ambiance. Quiet interiors are complementary textures of teak, bamboo and stone from Jamaica, China and Indonesia. Delicate orchids accessorize every room and bath. Meandering lily ponds, fountains and gardens grace the exterior.
The Amanoka compound consists of the Main Villa and The Annex ... linked by a landscaped walkway through an interior courtyard.
Each day begins with fresh-squeezed orange juice and fresh-ground Blue Mountain coffee, fruit, bagels and muffins on the verandah buffet ... followed by full breakfast when all guests are ready. Extraordinary lunches and memorable candlelight dinners are served on the al fresco verandah. Cocktail hour canapés and hors d’oeuvres are offered each evening around the verandah bar. The chef will also plan a torchlight beach party with chicken, chops, steaks, fresh fish or lobster served sizzling from the outdoor coal grill.
The state-of-the-art kitchen has a 6-burner gas stove, Jenn-Air double oven, microwave, dishwasher, bottled water server and gas grill. Because cuisine at Amanoka is extraordinary, the typical grocery budget here is $45 per adult per day, $20 per child per day. Click here for Amanoka menus.
Kayaks, sailfish and snorkel gear are complimentary. More water sports are available just a few minutes drive around the bay. For more water adventures at various costs, the 52’ Suzie Q will take guests sport fishing and picnicking, a wonderful treat for adults and children alike. In lively Ocho Rios 30 minutes from Amanoka are night life, restaurants, shops, open-air craft markets, more water sports, Prospect Plantation Great House, rafting on the Martha Brae River, jitney tours of a working plantation and dramatic Dunn’s River Falls. Driving time from the Montego Bay airport to Amanoka is approximately 60 minutes ... well worth the drive through quaint old Jamaican villages and along a gorgeous seascape. The eastern shore of Discovery Bay with its lovely villas and cottages is colloquially known as “The Riviera” ... one of Jamaica’s treasures.
If occupancy in excess of 12 guests is approved, a surcharge of $50 per night will apply.
