Your staff will include your own cook, butler, chambermaid and even a personal laundress so everyone flies home with a suitcase full of clean clothes. Each villa comes with a private pool; golf, tennis and water sports are on site or nearby. Most villas are located on an excellent stretch of Jamaica's legendary north coast within a 10-mile span of the colorful town of Montego Bay and the international airport, enabling guests to reach "home" 20 minutes after clearing customs. Eleven are on the beach on beautiful Discovery Bay, and five are oceanfront in lively Ocho Rios. A charming 18th Century, 16-bedroom plantation with stables, trails, tennis and river-rafting is also available.

You may opt for a traditional holiday dinner, including roast turkey, homemade pumpkin soup, cranberry sauce, dressing, creamy potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, fresh vegetables, homemade pumpkin pie and Blue Mountain coffee. Or you can choose Jamaican jerk turkey, fresh fish or grilled lobster. Your cook will also create separate kid-friendly meals, like chicken fingers or mac ‘n cheese.
