Silent Waters is one of the most glamorous private homes in the Caribbean. It is distinguished by world-class architecture and design, breathtaking location, and exquisite accommodations and service. The excellent staff includes the head chef, assistant chef, butler, housekeepers, laundress, driver, night watchman, maintenance supervisor, gardeners, marketing assistant and property manager … 14 in all.

This property is 6 miles west of Montego Bay on the North Coast Road. Located on one of the highest mountaintops overlooking Montego Bay and the Caribbean Sea, the site consists of 18 acres. Silent Waters consists of twelve buildings, helicopter pad and tennis court. Five villa suites (9 air conditioned bedrooms) accommodate as many as 18 guests. Addition of the owner’s private villa (1 air conditioned bedroom) enables 20 guests.

Built in 1998, the owners desired a destination that would accommodate affluent clientele while providing the highest level of privacy, intimacy and security - for their guests as well as for themselves. Twelve buildings are carefully positioned on 18 acres of the most lavish gardens, tranquil ponds and breathtaking views. Five villa suites plus owner's master suite are each positioned in such a way as to prevent seeing the other villas.

Superb location for family reunions, corporate retreat, weddings (54 sit down maximum), receptions (150 or more), yoga retreat, and more ...White sand beaches, beach bar and restaurant, water sports and golf nearby.

The paved entrance road is elegantly landscaped with stately Royal Palms. Black and gold wrought iron gates designed by the owner and brought from Thailand mark the entrance to the property. Hand-carved teak doors from Bali lead to multiple interior areas in textures of Travertine marble, Brazilian granite, cedar and teak. Colorful gardens are accented with ancient carved Balinese, Burmese, Thai and Chinese statuary. Serene lily ponds and turquoise pools stocked with Koi fish, separate various living spaces within the villa compound … heavenly for yoga retreat. Privacy is assured. Sophisticated electronic security and video monitors ensure that only invited parties may enter the villa compound.

The hub of the villa compound is the 900-square-foot Main Pavilion. A few steps across the terrace are the breakfast gazebo, dining room and open-air bar with television with DVD and cushioned seating for 22. An 80’ infinity edge reflection pool wraps around the al fresco breakfast gazebo and dining pavilion. A garden path leads up the mountain to the very private owner’s villa which accommodates two more guests. Maximum occupancy at Silent waters including the owner’s villa is 20 guests.

THE MASTER SUITE ...A Private Haven

For the ultimate in privacy and luxury, the Master Suite was designed with every detail in mind to run smoothly and independently of the remaining property. In addition to a breathtaking 330 degree view of Montego Bay, the ocean and the mountains, the Master Suite has its own infinity-edge swimming pool, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, large dual indoor/outdoor shower, waterfall, sundeck and elegant glass dining table for intimate dinners. The privacy gate located at the bottom of the beautifully landscaped walkway up to the Master Suite provides guests staying in the Master Suite with a '"Do not Disturb" signal. Staff is aware that when the gate is closed, they must not disturb the guests. As independent and self-sufficient as the Master Suite is, it is never rented to parties other than the same group renting the balance of the villa.

The Pavilion

100 feet of sliding glass doors disappear into pocket walls to open the central Pavilion to a breathtaking panorama of sea, sky and mountains. The Pavilion opens to a marble terrace, infinity-edge swimming pool and sunning area overlooking the Caribbean Sea and Montego Bay.

A pair of 17th Century Buddhist temple attendant statues stand guard over the Main Pavilion to ensure guests’ peace and serenity… as well as an 18th Century Thai Bible Chest and 17th Century Burmese Buddhist monastery bell. The Pavilion also includes a 48-inch television, surround sound home theater with DVD and 200 CD – disk programmable surround-sound music system.

A special feature here is the Yamaha Disklavier DC2 II XG 5’8” baby grand piano of highly polished dark walnut. The Mark II SG series system utilizes standard MIDI files on floppy disk or CD ROM. This is the worldwide most acclaimed player piano … the same system composers and recording artists use to write and record. Recording and composing software are available in the adjacent computer. Windows XP computer and wireless internet is available to guests.

Dining

The Head Chef is one of Silent Waters’ greatest prizes.

The dining pavilion is located in a wraparound reflecting pool and has a 330-degree view of Montego Bay and the sea as well as the exquisitely landscaped grounds. The dining table is a rare rainbow-colored 15-foot slab of Brazilian Bahian granite. Seated dinners here can accommodate 16 guests.

For more casual dining, the Gazebo commands a 360-degree view and can accommodate nine guests for seated meals. A spacious bar and entertainment area around the pool enable hosting of an intimate cocktail party … seated dinner for 54 guests … or a gala al fresco cocktail party for 150 guests or more. Event costs vary depending on menu and guest count.
