While blending all the creature comforts of home, it’s very much a portal into authentic Jamaican culture. Nestled in the heart of the bush, this property's seven double rooms consist of three deluxe cabins, one suite, and a self-contained three-bedroom villa. Also included are a state of the art Recording Studio, Healing Spa, Swimming Pool (Sanwood only), Gym and Bushbar, forming an exclusive universe within the natural beauty of the grounds.
Nominated by the Jamaican press as one of the “top ten most fascinating places to hang out,” the Bushbar follows the overall Geejam mantra of a grassroots approach to relaxation, restoration and reinvention. Achieving a stylish equilibrium between ultra modern technology and the intrinsic grace of the natural island landscape makes this the signature trademark of Geejam hotel in Jamaica.
Located on six acres of lush San San Estate, the property extends from the foothills of the John Crow and Blue Mountain chains to the Caribbean waterfront, thereby connecting a palette of greens to vibrant hues of blue and turquoise.
Within immediate proximity is Frenchman’s Cove - voted by Conde Nast as one of the world’s top five beaches - and the equally enchanting Blue Lagoon, Geejam Beach sits tall amongst several other stunning beaches. The property borders Drapers, a little known village until Gwen Stefani of No Doubt gave it props at the 2003 Grammy Awards, as a result of the band recording their last album at Geejam hotel Port Antonio, Jamaica.
A ten-minute drive west will find you in the historic town of Port Antonio, the capital town of the parish of Portland, located on the northeast coast of Jamaica and shrouded by the Blue Mountains. Home to the Errol Flynn marina, it boasts a thriving hub of local culture, with a varied nightlife, including Ska bars, Reggae sound-systems and nightclubs.
Also within easy reach are excursions to the cascading Scatter, Reich and Somerset waterfalls -- a day’s rafting being a must at one or more of these extraordinary natural wonders. Hiking is also a popular sport in this part of the island.
Sprawling vistas, cloistered tropical niches, breathtaking beachfront and forest hideaways make Geejam a singular high-end resort experience.
The sea air, the sun and the balmy Caribbean breeze emote a twenty-four-seven atmosphere of organic elegance, capturing that mystical spirit of the natural high.
A well-proportioned mix of upscale interiors matched with the intrinsic beauty of the natural environment enlivens the senses.
The treated wood decks, palm tree-lined stone paths and groves of avocado, breadfruit, sour sop, cashew nut, plum apple and star fruit trees combine to create a Caribbean Garden of Eden in the womb of a tropical paradise.
The centerpiece, which also serves as the foundational structure of the Bushbar, is composed of two three hundred year-old fig trees whose majestic sweep add a sublime scale to the already awesome indigenous landscape.
Highlighted by its lush rain forest surrounds, Mento is the ultimate nest for luxurious escape. This deluxe cabin also features an indoor bathroom with a steam room leading onto a patio, complete with a Jacuzzi and hammock for morning and evening relaxation.
Located in a private niche, Mento fuses all the intimacy of a secluded hideaway.
The cabin's high ceilings and white linens lend an atmosphere of elegant minimalism, complimented by a sweeping panoramic overlook of forest and sea from the extended veranda.
Ska boasts a deliciously situated Jacuzzi on one of its two verandas, which overlooks the forest and the ocean beyond.
In addition, glass doors that can be opened for a spectacular interior-to-exterior experience enclose its spacious interior.
Perched on the side of the hill, Ska's location gives way to a singular view of the undulating ocean and the sprawling Jamaican horizon.
Rocksteady is just a stone's throw from both the Spa & Gym, and overlooks Geejam's own Mack Bay waterfront.
The balcony is the perfect spot for morning breakfast or an evening aperitif before dinner.
Rocksteady also has a double steam room, which is ideal for really sinking into your skin.
A signature suite, housed on the ground floor of the recording studio, Drum & Bass is something of a music head's most far-flung fantasy. Brazilian cherry wood foldout panels turn the room into a virtual outdoor veranda.
A Jacuzzi, mesh sun chairs and wicker chaise lounges compliment the connecting full-scale deck.
Almost a room in itself, the oversized bathroom is furnished with a Philippe Starck bathtub. Foldout windows give way to a heart-stopping oceanic panorama. You can literally soak in the tub to the sound of the waves.
Meals are served in the lushly exquisite Bushbar, complete with an ambient sound system, outdoor pool table and a forest-to-ocean view that expands the boundaries of even the most vivid imagination.
The Bushbar features savory Jamaican and international dishes, which add a level of transcultural flair to the already globally infused kitchen.
Feast on bespoke local and international cuisine. The in-house pastry chef prepares a daily selection of croissants, danish, and elemental breads to breakfast on.
A traditional continental menu is available, as well as a variety of Jamaican starters, including steamed dumplings, ackee and salt fish, plantains, seasonal fruits and garden-fresh vegetables.
All meals are served with a selection of teas, cappuccino and freshly squeezed fruit juices. A full bar is available for lunch and dinner.
As an added convenience, Sanwood features its own dining facility where guests can make selections from an a la carte menu from the Bushbar. Alternatively, Sanwood's chefs are available to prepare Jamaican home-style cuisine exclusively for the residents of Sanwood villa.
A highly trained team of individuals is ready to cater to your every whim in a subtle, friendly and unobtrusive manner.
In keeping with the Geejam philosophy, guests are treated first and foremost like family.
The town of Port Antonio is a lush cornucopia of local culture nestled in a relaxed coastal setting.
Book a session at the dive shop located at the Errol Flynn marina in the historic quarter of Titch eld – the Flynn marina was named in memory of the iconic “swashbuckling” lm star who called Port Antonio home during the town’s fashionable renaissance in the 1960s – and then indulge in an afternoon ice-cream along the boardwalk.
Sampling the fresh catch of the day at one of the local outposts at the shing village situated along Folly Road is the perfect union of food meets folklore.
There’s also a Craft Market, Art Gallery, Supermarkets and Commercial Center catering to both necessity and whim. Also noteworthy is a walk through the cobble-stoned interior of the village of St. George emporium (now Royal Mall).

Geejam Beach is located at the foot of the property. You'll discover a natural cove that fits into the shoreline of the Caribbean Ocean.
Rafting down the Rio Grande is another option, and a popular favorite - complimented by a home-cooked on-site river lunch of local fare, bringing you so close to nature you can almost taste the landscape.
A sunset promenade down the market street or Harbour Street is always a great infusion for the senses.
Geejam Studios is one of the leading residential recording complexes in the Caribbean. Lusciously tropical and comfortably chic, Geejam achieves a stylish equilibrium between ultra modern technology and the intrinsic grace of its island surrounds.
Whether it's just the two of you, or it's everyone but the pets, a Geejam wedding can be created to make your wedding a celebration of a lifetime.
