Spyglass Hill is a former plantation house and one of the largest properties in this collection. Its 10 acres are composed of beautiful expanses of soft lawn and lush tropical gardens. But most spectacular is its unparalleled panorama of the Caribbean Sea.

The original plantation house has four air-conditioned bedrooms, large living room, fanciful hand-painted dining room, large kitchen ~ and several verandahs, porches and terraces. Four more very private bedrooms are a short walk across the lawn. These include Tree House, Garden Room and two-bedroom River House. Home-cooked breakfasts for all on the lawn are photo opportunities every morning.

Three private pools are designed for an entire household, children or more private dips by two or four guests. At the Main House are a deep 20' x 40' pool (with pool volleyball net on request) and an adjacent 24” deep children’s wading pool. At River House is a private 10' x 13' plunge pool.

The grounds, gazebo and amazing view make Spyglass Hill an exquisite wedding site. Brides Magazine chose Spyglass Hill for several photo shoots, and many brides and grooms have wonderful memories of their own sunset ceremonies. For larger wedding parties, sister house Sea Island is just down the hill, and Destiny Villa is just up the hill.

Guest Reviews

• Dear Linda,

  We had a wonderful time at Spyglass Hill in Jamaica! Thank you for all the arrangements; it all worked out extremely well. The staff in particular was excellent, the food was very good and came in exactly on budget, and the estate is glorious. The owner came by to give his greetings, which was very thoughtful.
