Surroundings
The 52-acre seafront property is home to private beaches, secret coves and a seawater lagoon. GoldenEye is not an ordinary hotel, but a collection of private villas, cottages and beach huts. Each is set amid tropical gardens, private beaches and secluded coves—a Jamaica home away from home.
Location
Located on a stunning 52–acre site, GoldenEye is the former home of author Ian Fleming and the birthplace of the character, James Bond. Today, GoldenEye is owned by Island Records founder, Chris Blackwell. The property is 20 minutes east of Ocho Rios. It's a 90-minute drive from Montego Bay Airport and an 8-minute drive from Ian Fleming International Airport (private aviation).

Bizot Bar, on the western arm of Low Cay Beach, is the spot for stylish low key dining serving breakfast and lunch that includes fresh salads, yummy burgers and tasty pastas, as well as famously authentic and delicious Jamaican specialties. The Gazebo, built in an airy tree house-style (with lounge & restaurant) serves up dishes with an international flavor. Overlooking both Low Cay Beach & The Lagoon, the Gazebo is the sexy, open-air spot to enjoy cocktails while watching fiery sunsets.

Spa
To spend time in FieldSpa is to exist in a more mindful & peaceful tempo, a cadence that allows you to breathe more deeply, live more slowly & more fully when returning to work & home. With its lagoon's edge cottage & open-to-the air treatment rooms, the spa without walls is a sanctuary for massage, salt scrubs, skin brightening facials, herbal wraps, & energy work. Guests can kayak or swim through the lagoon to arrive at the spa. In room treatments are also available.
