Bambu was designed by architect Robert Hartley in the early 1960s as a unique melding of West Indies architecture and Italian Venetian style. Its Palladian arches, dramatic central pool, Italian sculptures, and breathtaking view make it one of the most photographed homes in this collection. In 1974, images of Bambu appeared in Slim Aaron’s A Wonderful Time: An Intimate Portrait of the Good Life
Multiple dining areas take advantage of the spaciousness and vast views of this special property. Breakfast at the river is a marvelous way to start the day. Lunches on the covered garden terrace overlooking Montego Bay, and dinner in the gazebo feature one of the most beautiful nighttime light shows in the world.
Today its modern comforts and infrastructure mesh with Bambu’s original Euro charm and glamour. As designer Charles Faudree wrote when it was featured on the cover of Veranda magazine, Bambu is the “….blending Old World elegance with New World comforts.”
Notable also are Bambu's sprawling grounds and gardens. Headed by talented Sam, the gardeners have created a lush and lavish tropical paradise, with natural stone pathways that wind through gardens to unexpected terraces for private quiet times.
With handicap access in mind, a separate entrance designed especially for guests in wheelchairs features a ramp to a level entrance to the villa, avoiding all stairs. The Bambu pool features a broad 4" deep wheelchair platform as well. This shallow water platform is also a thoughtful, safe pool area for toddlers.
If you've left your pets at home while you're on vacation, be advised that Bambu is home to a couple of affectionate dogs! At your preference, they may be allowed to roam the grounds and come in to play with the guests or be kept in their large, open-air kennel.

The villa was just perfect, you were instrumental in me finding this perfect spot.
Thank you so much!
Sharifa F.
Beautiful villa, plus a remarkable staff!! From the rooms, to the location and the animals. It is well maintained, beautifully appointed...the villa is beautiful, but the staff go beyond anything we have ever seen. Leslie, Peaches, Hosea and everyone go far beyond the call of duty.
My parents are in their early 80’s and said they have never had a more wonderful vacation. Thanks again!

Leslie, the butler even rocked the baby to sleep, so we could eat our dinner!

I am not sure how many adjectives I can use to describe this amazing house and the gardens, the pool, and everything around it. This was truly a special week for our family that we won't forget!!
I would highly recommend this villa and the exceptional staff to anyone looking for a special week in Jamaica.
-Yanofsky Party
Where do we even start? We love the staff. They have been super kind and accommodating. They always went out of their way to be helpful and flexible. They provided us with everything we needed, when needed. Our rooms were always clean. Jackie is an AMAZING cook! Davian was so helpful, kind, and great at his job. Ivan was HILLARIOUS, attentive and warm/welcoming. The property was well kept and beautiful.
We were a group of 10 who were here for a celebration. While we were here, we felt loved, cared for, and well taken care of. We are grateful for everything
and for the staff and their hard work and genuine kindness. EVERYONE was friendly! We appreciate them tremendously!

Charmaine & Wendy ensured that the accommodations were cleaned daily. We did not expect them to wash & launder our clothes as well, but what a wonderful surprise to come back to from excursions all day! Again the staff is what makes this experience so memorable and you have a great team here! I have already been reaching out to family & friends to tell them about it & start planning to come back to Bambu!
Gordon is the glue that holds this place together and makes it run like a well oiled machine! He's a keeper! Ms. Jackie has the best food we've ever tasted! They responded to every request & made this experience exceptional!

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation in this beautiful home! Nora, the owner, was very responsive to our questions and helped to make our vacation plans go smoothly. The views of Montego Bay are simply breathtaking. The Gardens are lovely and very well kept. The staff took very good care of us during our stay.... We love Jamaica!!

This property is spectacular!! The views, the lush vegetation, the elegant, yet whimsical decor is nothing short of amazing. Each room provides a unique view, luxurious breeze and an opportunity for lounging, eating, sleeping, socializing or swimming. Our biggest dilemma was which of the many rooms to utilize. Jackie, our house manager and cook, delighted us with meals prepared with love and attention to our individual tastes. Our butler Del Roy presented each meal on beautifully set tables overflowing with freshly cut flowers from the gorgeous and vast grounds. He suggested outings and day trips that allowed us a unique experience on the Island. The driver Benjie was available to drive us anywhere on the Island so that we could feel save and comfortable at all times. We slept soundly each night in our air-conditioned suites after enjoying our full days on the Island. Nora, thank you for making this elegant, yet especially warm villa available for us to experience!
