Ocho Rios Vacation Rental villa

Roaring Pavilion Villa and Spa is located on a beach front estate where the Roaring River meets the Caribbean Sea in St. Ann’s Bay, Jamaica, just a few minutes outside of Ocho Rios. The villa’s beach is known as James Bond Beach, the location for the classic scene from Dr. No where Sean Connery greeted Ursula Andress emerging from the surf.

The Roaring Pavilion Villa and Spa is the only property of its kind to offer an on-site spa facility with a full-time spa attendant. This 5,000 square-foot property is lavishly appointed and offers a staff of nine catering to every guest’s need. It has been deemed the most beautiful and luxurious villa in the Caribbean, and has played to host to many international celebrities from the worlds of film, television and music.

Highlights of the property are many, the focal point being the open air Pavilion, reached via an interior walkway over a meandering reflecting pool. The Pavilion offers a dramatic ocean view with steps leading to the villa’s lagoon-style swimming pool. The layout offers a total of three living areas including a den/entertainment room furnished with a large screen satellite television, VCR, computer with internet hook-up, and an extensive collection of books, videos, and games. Four distinctive master suites are available, each with its own en suite marble bath. Roaring Pavilion Floor Plan

Jamaica is world-renowned for its glorious beaches, and that glory is all yours on Roaring Pavilion's beach which is guarded at each end for your complete privacy. You can spend countless hours relishing the warm embrace of the Caribbean, enjoying a variety of water sports, or simply lying on the beach as you are caressed by a gentle sea breeze.
