Imagine waking up every day and walking through lush, tropical gardens down to an idyllic beach lapped by the crystal-clear sea. This dream is a reality at beachfront Siesta; a five-bedroom villa in the Runaway Bay area of Jamaica's north coast. And only a short walk away is popular Runaway Bay Beach with a beach bar/restaurant serving drinks, snacks and family-friendly meals.

High ceilings, a wealth of natural materials and a colour palette taking inspiration from the sea and tropical surroundings are what characterise spacious Siesta. The huge living/dining room offers enough space for both sociable gatherings and finding a quiet corner for yourself. Slide back the glass doors and you're immediately ready for a refreshing dip in the pool or an al fresco meal and drinks.

Of the five ensuite bedrooms, three have a king-size bed. Another features two double beds, with the fifth bedroom having twin beds that can be made into a king. And off this bedroom is a small room with a twin bed. Each bedroom offers scenic garden and sea views for a taste of paradise every morning.

Even larger groups have the option of also renting Bahia Cottage and Bay Watch Villa, which boast a further one and three-five bedrooms respectively. This increases accommodation to 11 bedrooms.

Ensuring your stay at Siesta is comfortable and secure are a cook, housekeeper, gardener, laundress and night security guard. Also included are two kayaks, floats and other beach toys for spending fun days in the sun.

In addition to the sea and glorious beaches being moments away, a golf course is less than a five-minute drive from the villa.
