If your ideal vacation includes hearing the sound of waves at your doorstep, sleeping in a four-poster canopy bed, and enjoying beautifully served meals prepared by your own staff, then San Michele is the perfect experience for you.

Located on Jamaica’s Bluefields Bay, San Michele sits 25 feet from the sea on a spot fortified by the Spanish in the early 1500s and prized as a protected anchorage. The site is surrounded by water on three sides with spectacular vistas of mountains, stands of bamboo and fruit trees, and a calm sea that is excellent for deep-sea fishing and snorkeling.

San Michele has more than an acre of expansive lawn and its own private island accessed by footbridge. This private island features lounge chairs and hammocks in both sun and shade, a freshwater shower, stereo system, bar, and steps into the sea. The property also contains a spacious pool pavilion for relaxing, dining, and enjoying drinks. The main house has four bedrooms and four baths, including two luxurious sea-view master suites with king-size four-poster canopy beds. The adjacent guest cottage contains two-plus bedrooms and two baths.
