Visit Discovery Bay

Just an hour’s drive east of Montego Bay lies Discovery Bay, named to commemorate where Christopher Columbus first set foot in Jamaica. Though historians dispute the accuracy of this title, our world-class Discovery Bay villas are located along the eastern shore of the bay, offering an exclusive stretch of private homes, cottages, and villas. 

The beauty of Discovery Bay lies visually in its pristine clear waters. Each of our villas has its own private beach. The clear waters are perfect for snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboards, and more. Also favorable, however, is its proximity to all your favorite Jamaica amenities in both  Ocho Rios and Montego Bay, nestled neatly between the two. 

If you’re seeking a refuge of peace and calm, as well as proximity to fantastic watersports just steps from your front door, look no further than a Jamaica villa in Discovery Bay.

Dunn’s River Falls

Fishing & Boating

Sharkie’s in nearby Runaway Bay offers deep sea diving and some fishing. Further east, Ocho Rios hails as the main catamaran cruise and fishing destination. The local beach at Island Village offers more local fishing outings in canoes for villa guests.

Green Grotto Caves

Experience the magic of these underground caves with a crystal-clear lake at the bottom. For generations, Jamaica’s history has been told by many, but never through the mouth of the cave. At Green Grotto Caves, that changes. These walls sheltered Tainos, concealed Spanish settlers, guarded freedom seekers, and echoed with the footsteps of smugglers slipping through the darkness. Here, the island speaks through shadow and stone, telling its story the only way it can — from the depths of the cave that has held these memories in silence.
