The Caves, Jamaica

Poised on the limestone cliffs of Negril’s scenic West End in Jamaica, The Caves capture all the essence of a seductive oceanfront sanctuary. Twelve exclusive cliff-side accommodations, a Private Cave Dining, The Blackwell Rum Bar, and a seaview Aveda Amenity Spa offer a refreshingly organic interpretation of romance.

Located close to Negril’s stunning seven-mile beachfront and endless azure waters, The Caves evokes the exoticism of the unexplored while offering all the comforts of home living.

Negril has a reputation for being an off-the-beaten-path traveler’s utopia, and its recent rise in popularity has done little to compromise that standard. The area also features some of the best snorkeling, scuba diving, jet skiing and dolphin watching as well as hiking and horseback riding tours. Although The Caves is settled close to the local hub, its protective landscaping and secluded ten-acre property make it feel like a tropical castle set above a vibrant town center.

The Caves’ two acres of seafront are designed as an artful labyrinth combining the magnificence of nature with a singular maritime mystique. Sitting atop honeycomb cliffs thrown up from the ocean depths due to volcanic activity, the cliff walls are a veritable museum of ancient fossilized marine life.

Twelve exclusive cliffside accommodations, comprised of one and two-bedroom cottages and suites, plus a four-bedroom deluxe villa, offer a refreshingly organic interpretation of romance. Also featured on the property are two Main Dining Gazebos, Private Cave Dining and The Blackwell Rum Bar. Additionally, the spectacular cliffside location, complemented by a Jacuzzi, Sauna and salt-water Swimming Pool, is perfect for diving right into the ocean. One  main attractions is  seaview Aveda Amenity Spa, which was recently voted among the “Top Five Jamaican Spas” by Ocean magazine.

Tradition dictates an early morning “jump” from the cliffs and frequent floating on water rafts while being rocked by the lullaby of the sea. The intricate design of landings and steps hugging the cliffside guarantee sun spots virtually throughout the day. A stay at The Caves is an experience in pure relaxation, comfort and rejuvenation.
