Sevilla Villa
is situated on a gentle
hillside overlooking the sea so that the cool trade winds blow over
the veranda and through the rooms. After a swim in the pool, a
favorite pastime for many is to relax on the veranda with a good
book, or a cocktail and simply enjoy the breathtaking view of the
golf course, the gardens and the ocean beyond. The villa grounds
are beautifully landscaped with tropical plants including
bougainvillea, poinsettia, hibiscus and aloe
vera.
The villa is located in the pleasant
neighbourhood of Runaway
Bay, St. Ann on the
north coast of Jamaica. Our residential area has it’s own private
beach just a short walk away where one can stretch out and enjoy a
pleasant cool drink in the shade of the almond
trees.
Runaway Bay
is a small, idyllic
community near to Dunn’s River Falls, Fern Gully, Green Grotto
Caves, Cranbrook Flower Forest and Carinosa Gardens. Within a short
distance of the villa, you can find an assortment of recreational
activities including golf, tennis, horse back riding, polo, scuba
diving and various water sports. Ocho Rios is only 25 minutes away
with its lively nightlife, enticing restaurants and markets that
make shopping for souvenirs an adventure.
Runaway Bay Golf and Country Club has for golfers a magnificent 18-hole
championship course measuring 6884 yards with the back gate of the
villa opens onto the 7th fairway.
Jamaica offers plenty of different nightlife
opportunities, ranging from
a peaceful 'sun-downer' at a thatched beach bar to an evening spent
dancing to Jamaica's most energizing reggae beats. Music is very
important to the people of Jamaica, and you'll find your holiday
infused with melody wherever you go.
Ocho Rios
lays roughly 108km (67
miles) east of Montego Bay. The name is said to have come from the
old Spanish word for roaring river or, in modern Spanish, eight
rivers. Ocho Rios was once a sleepy fishing village, and although
there are now resort facilities, international hotels and
restaurants offering a variety of cuisines, the town has kept
something of the sleepy atmosphere of small-town Jamaica. One of
the most stunning sights in Jamaica is Dunn’s River
Falls, a crystal
water stairway leading to nearby botanical gardens. Ocho Rios is
known as the garden-lover’s paradise, and the Shaw Park Botanical
Gardens exhibit a
fascinating variety of the area’s exotic flora, for which the town
is celebrated. Not surprisingly, two of the most popular tours
available are to working plantations at
Brimmer Hall and
Prospect where sugar, bananas and spices are still grown and
harvested, using many of the traditional skills handed down through
generations. Any sightseeing itinerary should include a drive along
Fern Gully, a road running along an old riverbed that winds through
a 6.5km (4 mile) valley of ferns. Another tour is the
Jamaica
Night on the White River, a canoe ride up the torchlight river
to the sound of drums. Dinner and an open-air bar are available on
the riverbank (Sunday evenings).
