Goldeneye, Historic hotel in Oracabessa, Jamaica.
Goldeneye is a historic property with hotel status in Oracabessa on the northern coast of Jamaica, founded by British writer Ian Fleming. The grounds consist of private villas, cottages, and beach huts scattered through tropical gardens with direct access to private beaches and secluded coves.
Fleming acquired the land in 1946 and built a seaside residence where he wrote all fourteen James Bond novels during his winter stays. The property was later converted into a resort and now welcomes travelers who visit the place where the novel series was born.
The name comes from Fleming himself, who chose it after a wartime operation and gave shape to a place where he dedicated himself to writing. Today guests from around the world visit the property to relax where the creator of 007 put his stories on paper.
The resort offers forty-nine accommodations, including beach villas with full kitchens, lagoon cottages with private docks, and beach huts with modern amenities. The property sits along the coast and provides access to several beaches and quiet coves within the grounds.
Each lagoon cottage comes with a personal kayak, allowing guests to explore the waters directly from their private dock. The FieldSpa uses traditional Jamaican recipes with essential oils made from locally grown flowers, roots, and herbs.
