Spectacular views, spacious mansion. Wonderful
wedding location with garden gazebo.
Villa Manana is located in the beautiful Shaw Park hills, tucked
in the lush cool hills of Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Villa Manana undoubtedly
commands the most breathtaking panoramic view of the sparkling
waters of the Caribbean Sea and the picturesque city of Ocho Rios.
Lavishly spread across two acres of exquisitely manicured gardens,
the grounds simply explode with color as exotic blooms meander
casually over every area of this stunning two-storey property.
Wrapped around a virtual indoor garden in the bricked open courtyard,
the upper level plays host to three exquisitely furnished bedrooms
with accompanying bathrooms, a gorgeous living room with a view
of the sea and mountains only experienced in dreams, and a huge
well equipped kitchen from where exotic dishes are created by
the Villa Cook to suit your every fancy.
Dining is an unforgettable occasion on the wrap-around verandah
of this gorgeous property, as the night-time city lights dance
below a moonlit sky. A few steps to the lower level, descend to
two elegantly furnished bedrooms which share an awesome italian
marble and 24k gold bathroom suite.
Classic French doors open these rooms out onto the massive pool
deck and surrounding garden complete with lookout gazebo. Mexican
terra-cotta and inlay detailing bring elegance to the magnificent
40 x 60 ft swimming pool with wrap-around submerged seating for
easy entertaining.
The comfortable 8 seater jacuzzi rises majestically from the pool,
as its waters cascade gently over the sides to mingle with the
cool waters below. Rising some 30 ft into the air, the palatial
columns of the vine covered trellis, stand guard over this magnificent
spectacle.
Manana's bedrooms display the artistry of Jamaican craftsmen,
particularly in the intricacy of the hand-carved mahogany beds
and tables in some of the rooms. The upper level consists of two
bedrooms with two double beds in each, and a massive 20 x 30 octagonal
master suite with king sized bed, complete with an elegant sitting
area furnished with exquisite hand-weaved wicker pieces (crafted
by the talented blind).
Crisp cotton adorn each bed and bright tropical- print comforters
and matching window dressings bring the exotic island surroundings
into each room. Walls are embellished with valuable works of famous
Jamaican artists and air-conditioning is available in each room
for those hot days. The lower level features a second octagonal
master suite with sitting area and a smaller bedroom, both of
which open onto the pool deck and gardens.
The living room features wide open-out French doors which reveal
the most breathtaking view of the Caribbean Sea , the town of
Ocho Rios and its surrounding mountains. Furnishings are classic.
As always, the carved mahogany pieces and vibrant artwork add
warmth to sponged walls and large overstuffed seating. Hand-forged
wrought iron and marble complete this comfortable and elegant
room.
Villa Manana comes fully staffed with chef Sandra, a house attendant
and George the groundskeeper. Some staff remains on property and
are housed in the 2 bedroom self-contained quarters located nearby.
The gorgeous manicured lawns and magnificent pool facilities are
maintained by George, the Villas Jack-Of-All-Trades. George takes
care of any minor emergency repairs and will be only too willing
to show you the town in the evening.

you on a tour of the grounds where you'll learn about the various
fruit trees and flowering plants that adorn Manana. He lives on
property and provides additional security apart from the evening
security personnel from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. if requested.
Baby-sitting by one of the staff is "no problem" and you can dance
the night away while your little ones play games till they are
good and tired enough to be tucked into bed. Sandra would be more
than happy to accompany you while shopping. She'll guide you to
