Twin Palms is perhaps the most amazing feat of architecture and design achieved in the Caribbean in decades. Fit for a king and remarkable for entertaining, the villa is designed to accommodate families and friends in extraordinary comfort and exquisite style. 

Unparalleled architecture and design have created one of the finest private homes in the Caribbean and the world.
Immaculately tasteful interior design includes textures of suede, linen, lime-washed walls, mahogany, leather, marble and slate. Furnishings and light fixtures were imported from the States and Italy. Others were designed expressly for Twin Palms by Sue Williams and custom built by Prince Palmer in Jamaica.

The axis of the house is a paved hallway, illuminated by candles each evening. This walkway leads to individual columned entrances to living suites and culminates in the Master Suite at the east end.

While all living spaces are designed on one level, a spiral staircase leads up 19 steps to a breathtaking skyloft on a breezy deck with a 270-degree ocean view.

During the design process, special attention was addressed to families and children. Connecting doors provide the option of combining three bedroom suites. Two more suites are connected by a walkway. A unique children's playroom provides foosball, books, television and two cushioned platforms for reading, playing games and taking air-conditioned naps. The homeowner requires employment of one nanny for every two children ages 7 and under ~ either a nanny brought from home or a nanny hired at the Tryall Club.

Dining areas are designed to seat 20 guests or more. Formal dining is in the 80’ dining room under Italian chandeliers at place settings of Lalique crystal, Tiffany china and silver from France. The state-of-the-art kitchen is a match for the talents of the Twin Palms executive chef. The 80’ kitchen includes a butler’s pantry, cappuccino/espresso machine, deli slicer, juicer, 6-burner gas Vulcan range and grill (also outdoor grill), 2 ovens, Salamander, 4 fridges, 2 freezers, 4 Viking warming ovens, 2 microwave ovens and 2 dishwashers.

The villa is fronted by seven connecting pools of varying depths that flow ingeniously from one to the next. The children’s pool is shallow, the adults’ pool is long and deep, the whirlpools are bubbly.

From its lofty peak high above the Caribbean Sea and world-class Tryall golf course, Twin Palms offers exquisite tradewinds and breathtaking ocean views from sunrise to sunset.

Project Management, Architecture and Design: Sue Williams and Nancy Maffessanti

The Tryall Club Membership

A significant amenity for guests in this villa is membership at the excellent Tryall Club.  On 2,200 acres, Tryall’s golf course is among the most beautiful in the world.  Its 18 hillside and seaside fairways have been home to the Johnnie Walker, Mazda and other PGA championship events.  The resident pro offers workshops and private lessons.   The Tryall tennis club features nine Nova Cushion courts, some lit for night play, with world-class pro’s on call.  All whites required. 

The beach is well planned for parents and children. Have lunch at the beach bar.  Work out in the well-equipped gym.  Jog the marked trails. Snorkeling, kayaking, hobie cat and sunfish are complimentary.  Glass bottom boats, charter fishing, a boat to the reef and any captained craft attract various fees.  Enjoy the week’s events, including the Monday Night Manager’s Cocktail Party and the Wednesday and Friday night beach parties (Friday Seafood Night on the Beach Buffet is excellent).

On the hill, enjoy the historic Great House for afternoon tea and a magnificent view from the terrace.  Shop at the commissary and boutique, meet for happy hour at the bar, and browse a wealth of Jamaican, Haitian and Cuban works and souvenirs in the Gallery of West Indian Art.  And don’t miss the massive Tryall pool!
