The pace is quiet and refined, with a handful of coveted luxury villas lining the shoreline – perfect for guests who want privacy, easy sea access, & dreamy views. It’s a great base for relaxed days in the bay (swimming, paddleboarding, snorkelling) with the option to explore in either direction: Ocho Rios to the east (about 20 mi/32 km) & Falmouth to the west. Nearby favourites include gentle river floats at River Rapids Adventures on the Rio Bueno & classic bamboo rafting on the Martha Brae.
