Amanoka

Property Description

Located on beautiful Discovery Bay, Amanoka is one of the most stunning villas in this collection. From the spacious verandah and pool, a barefoot stroll leads down a soft lawn to the 70’ white sand beach, clear turquoise water, and waterfront gazebo with suspended canvas swings. True to its name, Aman-oka is a “peaceful home” of exquisite design and restful ambiance. Quiet interiors are complementary textures of teak, bamboo, and stone from Jamaica, China, and Indonesia. Delicate orchids accessorize every room and bath. Meandering lily ponds, fountains and gardens, and more orchids grace the exterior. The garden at Amanoka is truly beautiful and the outside entertaining space is extraordinary. The Amanoka compound consists of the Main Villa and The Annex ... linked by a landscaped walkway through an interior courtyard. Each day begins with fresh-squeezed orange juice and fresh-ground Blue Mountain coffee, fruit, bagels, and muffins on the verandah buffet ... followed by a full breakfast when all guests are ready. Extraordinary lunches and memorable candlelight dinners are served on the al fresco verandah or waterfront deck. Cocktail hour canapés and hors d’oeuvres are offered each evening around the verandah bar. The chef will also plan a torchlight beach party with chicken, chops, steaks, fresh fish or lobster served to sizzle from the outdoor coal grill. Unique to Amanoka is its floating spa in a tropical pavilion. The spa sits on a landscaped lily pond bordered by soothing waterfalls. Spa treatments by holistic specialists are available for various fees. Adjacent to the spa is the air-conditioned gym with Precor Elliptical, treadmill, free weights, fitness DVDs, balls, mats, and music. Just across the lane is Amanoka's own Novacrylic surface tennis court, lit for night play. Rackets are provided. Amanoka is a virtual resort within itself. The state-of-the-art kitchen has a 6-burner gas stove, Jenn-Air double oven, microwave, dishwasher, bottled water server, and gas grill. Kayaks, sailfish, and snorkel gear are complimentary. In lively Ocho Rios, 30 minutes from Amanoka are nightlife, restaurants, shops, open-air craft markets, more water sports, rafting, jitney tours of a working plantation, and dramatic Dunn’s River Falls. Driving time from the Montego Bay airport to Amanoka is approximately 60 minutes ... well worth the drive along a gorgeous seascape. The eastern shore of Discovery Bay with its lovely villas and cottages is colloquially known as “The Riviera” ... one of Jamaica’s treasures.

Amanoka Villa Review

Our group had an amazing time at Amanoka and we felt very safe at our villa. The staff was exceptional, as were the accommodations. In terms of the "gates", the first gate on Fortlands Road is by no means a security checkpoint. There is an unarmed civilian standing in a shack with a thin rope across the dirt road. So, although our villa was gated entirely, we thought we would let you know that there is no name checking at "the gate", should this be something you might need to know when marketing this villa to other future guests. One other item that we wanted to point out is that the tips for the staff were not given to 1 person to distribute amongst the group. There were 8 different envelopes each with a name of the staff member and their title. So, we were charged with distributing our desired tip as we saw fit to the appropriate team members, which we then sealed and delivered to them as we left on Saturday. I thought this might be helpful information for you to know. The food, the villa (and annex), the grounds, the amenities, the beach, the staff, the sound system- everything was superb.
