Bambu Montego Bay, Jamaica, Caribbean

Nine miles west of Montego Bay is a large private site overlooking perhaps the most glorious view of sea and sky on Jamaica’s renowned North Coast. Elegantly perched on eight and a half acres atop a hill is Bambu, a grand six-bedroom private villa distinguished by its classic architecture and appreciated by discerning vacationers.

Wi-Fi access, Apple television, new marble bathrooms and a state-of-the-art kitchen complement lovely new interiors. Bambu’s extensive grounds and gardens are also noteworthy and incredibly relaxing. The dedicated team of gardeners have created a lush and lavish tropical paradise, with natural stone pathways that wind through gardens to plush private terraces. The villa has a separate entrance for wheelchair users and the Bambu pool features a broad 4″ deep wheelchair platform as well. This shallow water platform is also a safe pool area for toddlers. Breakfast at the river is a marvelous way to start your day. Cocktails on the terrace over the bay and dinner in the gazebo feature one of the most beautiful night time light shows anywhere in the world.

Multi-million dollar renovations of interiors and grounds have resulted in an impressive facelift of this elegant grand dame. Today its modern comforts and infrastructure mesh with Bambu’s original Euro charm and glamour. Its newest feature is an open-air garden shower and bathtub outside a small hideaway bedroom downhill from the main house, which is further enhanced by a nine-mile view across Montego Bay. Bambu was designed by architect Robert Hartley in the early 1960’s as a unique melding of West Indies architecture and Italian Venetian style. Its Palladian arches, dramatic central pool and Italian sculptures make it one of the most photographed homes in this collection.

Bambu has six bedrooms in all, one of which has been designed to be a children’s room. The master bedroom is wheelchair accessible and has two en-suite bathrooms, office, dressing room and access to a covered veranda with captivating ocean views.

If you’ve left your pets at home while you’re on vacation, be advised that Bambu is home to three affectionate Mastiff pups. At your preference, they may be allowed to roam the grounds and come in to play with you or be kept in their large, open-air kennel. Sangster International Airport (MBJ) and town are just over 20 minutes by car from this gracious and opulent vacation home.

Additional Information

Jamaica is a great destination for everyone and every occasion. While many venture to Jamaica to tan and relax on the breathtaking beaches, there is also a plethora of activities to keep travelers busy.

Avid snorkelers and scuba divers will enjoy the beautiful coral reefs and exotic marine life. Coffee lovers will take pleasure in the delicious home-grown coffee from the famous Jamaican Blue Mountains, which are also ideal for hiking and horseback riding. Sightseers will want to climb the world-famous 600-foot-high Dunn’s River Falls, and bird-lovers will enjoy the Rockland’s Feeding Station, home to Jamaica’s 27 native species. Those who want to see beautiful sunsets should partake in the Jamaican tradition and head over to the famous Rick’s Cafe in Negril, where visitors will not only see magnificent sunset views, but also watch brave cliff-jumpers dive into the crystal-clear water.

A villa vacation in Jamaica is also unique in that many of our villas come with a full staff (chef,butler, housekeeper and laundress) included. The friendly staff will treat you with their “No problem, mon” service, where everything you desire is at your beck and call.
