Nestling on an idyllic stretch of white sand in the Discovery Bay area of Jamaica is restful Sugar Bay Villa. The views out to the ocean from around the villa's manicured lawns are clear and unspoilt. And two charming seaside gazebos get you even closer to the dazzling waters. Which themselves are dream swimming and snorkelling territory. Kayaks and a boat dock are also at your disposal.

Sugar Bay Villa is where authentic Caribbean style, contemporary luxury and modern facilities come together effortlessly over two floors. A particularly striking feature is the curved mahogany staircase in the living room that leads up to a minstrel's gallery. Huge windows and vaulted ceilings make lounge spaces such as these feel spacious and bright.

The five ensuite bedrooms are beautiful examples of Sugar Bay Villa's overall atmosphere. A wealth of custom-designed furniture and art pieces from Jamaica, the Caribbean and around the world add colour and personality. There's a perfect bed for everyone, with a choice of king-size or queen-size bed. The fifth bedroom has two double beds; making it a good option for any children in the group. Private balcony terraces are romantic spots to watch sunsets or to stargaze.

Keeping the sociable mood going inside and out are quadraphonic speakers in the living room, veranda and pool area. Enjoy al fresco meals with music playing and the sight of the sea lapping the shore. Even a swim in the pool that overlooks the ocean feels like a special occasion, with a session in the Jacuzzi afterwards for indulgent relaxation. A gym and tennis court are there for more active times.

Sugar Bay Villa's great beachfront position means a choice of beach bars are just a short walk away and the famous Green Grotto Caves a five-minute drive.
