ATTRACTIONS
Dunn’s River Falls
where
Jamaicans say “Heaven spills into the sea” is by far the most
popular tourist attraction in Jamaica and is only 20minutes drive
from the villa. Visitors can hike to the top of a 600 foot
waterfall with an experience guide for dollars a day. Included are
restaurant facilities and a gift market.

Dunn's
River Falls
is a
crystal water stairway, which leads to the nearby botanical
gardens. Described as a living and growing phenomenon, it
continuously regenerates itself from deposits of travertine rock,
the result of precipitation of calcium carbonate from the river, as
it flows over the falls. The small dome-shaped cataracts are
usually associated with thermal spring activity found in limestone
caves. This, combined with its location near to the sea, gives
Dunn's River the distinction of being the only one of its kind in
the Caribbean, if not the world.
Dolphin Cove
Swim
with the dolphins and see animals and birds in a natural cove
surrounded by lush, tropical rain forest, rivers and
waterfalls.
Dunn’s River Falls & Park: 600 feet of gently terraced
waterfalls. Make advanced
reservations, and you will find yourself face-to-face with the
ocean’s friendliest creatures.
