Stroll down the steps of your private villa to breathtaking Rio Nuevo Bay. In 1658, invading British forces made their historic landing here. Enjoy snorkeling, sunbathing or relaxing under the shade of almond trees. Relax with a book and sip ice-cold fruit cocktails, brought to you by your villa butler. Children can swim in the shallows and comb the beach for seashells. Jamaica Ocean View Villa provides beach chairs and snorkeling equipment.
If there is a water sport your group would like, water skiing, jet skiing, para-sailing, these can be arranged for you. Banana boat and tubing are tremendous fun for older children and adults alike. Or charter a boat for a day on the Caribbean Sea. Your villa cook will be happy to pack you a picnic. Scuba certification lessons can also be arranged and enjoyed in the safety of your private villa pool.
A short drive west of Rio Nuevo Bay is Jamaica Beach. Just off Jamaica Beach lies the Rio Nuevo Wall, one of the world’s best reefs for scuba diving. Rio Nuevo Battle Site Park is just a short walk from Jamaica Ocean View Villa. This Jamaican National Historic Trust site is where the British won control of Jamaica. With its natural beauty, the park is gaining popularity as a location for the romantic Jamaican wedding. Entrance to the park is free.
