Yes, it’s true. In Jamaica, you can stay at the place where Fleming created Bond. James Bond.
So it was here, in Jamaica, in the romantic, tropical, exotic surroundings of Oracabessa Bay, that Fleming’s imagination — and hard work — took hold. Sitting at his plain wooden desk, in a corner of the villa that he’d designed for himself, Fleming wrote every one of the 14 books that made James Bond the name that is now recognized in every corner of the planet. James, the most common of English names… Bond, a synonym for reliability, or an upscale street in the heart of Mayfair… But in fact, in whimsical fashion, Fleming simply lifted the name of an English ornithologist — the author of “Field Guide of Birds of the West Indies” — for his iconic, unforgettable, masculine hero.
Fleming Villa ranks among the Caribbean’s most enchanting retreats and captivates those in search of natural beauty and privacy.
Sited on GoldenEye property yet on its own, separate parcel of land — with private beach, private pool and tropical gardens — Fleming Villa offers guests the best of both worlds: the seclusion of a villa vacation and the switched-on scene of a small, sophisticated resort that’s just a short walk away.
The villa comes with a dedicated staff that includes a butler, housekeeper and cook. Guests need never leave — but are always welcome at the FieldSpa at GoldenEye, as well as the resort’s restaurants, bars and activities.
Located 20 minutes east of Ocho Rios and less than a 10-minute drive from Ian Fleming International Airport, Fleming Villa sleeps up to 10 people. There are three bedrooms, each with tropical garden baths, in the main villa and two standalone guest cottages: Sweet Spot and Pool House.
Walk over to GoldenEye for a spa treatment, sunset cocktails at Bizot Bar and Shabeen or dinner at Gazebo. Walk back to Fleming Villa and, again, you’re secluded – removed from it all. Really, it’s the best of all worlds.
Of course, there’s the history. Fleming, and his character, Bond. James Bond. If these walls could talk they’d tell tales of artists and writers, spies and seducers. The romantic atmosphere is palpable. The vibe, ultra relaxing, though you may feel the inspiration that lives here, still.
The villa features the original three bedrooms and two stand-alone guest cottages (sleeps up to 10). Other exclusive features include the private Fleming Beach, pool and TV room. The villa has its own dedicated staff that includes butlers, housekeepers, groundsmen and a chef.
