Royal Plantation Spa and Golf Resort
Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Style: Classic Luxury. Suites: 77.

Some say the lush northern coast of Jamaica is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Where the rolling hills of the St. Ann Mountains sweep down to the pristine white-sand beaches of a calm bay known as The Ocho Rios Riviera- an area aptly named for its revered sophistication. Flawlessly set amidst this tropical paradise, Royal Plantation Spa and Golf Resort is a splendid seclusion for those who are serious about taking life easy, yet desirous of every refinement. Offering just 77 luxurious suites, all with stunning ocean views, the resort has the intimacy of an elegant private villa and the panache of a world-class resort of the highest caliber. Royal Plantation is a peaceful sanctuary, abundant with treasures that clarify the mind and lift the spirit. Here, you're as close to two pristine beaches as it's possible to be. On one of them, you can bask on the sugary sand attended by beach butlers merely a nod away. Or you can enjoy the world-class amenities ranging from the 5 star Diamond European Spa to the 18-hole championship golf course. With world-class service and award-winning restaurants, Royal Plantation is truly a paradise for the discerning traveler.
