STRAWBERRY HILL, JAMAICA


It’s no secret that recessions, depressions, stress and the problems of everyday life take its toll and you need to find a place where you can give your soul a chance to catch up with your body and mind. It’s about finding a place where you can find the balance to your everyday life and that place is Strawberry Hill in Jamaica.
Set high up in the world-famous Blue Mountains of Jamaica, this classic retreat gently allows your mind, body and soul to come together again and lets your ying catch up with your yang.
Fly into Kingston, and in less than an hour you’re a mile up in the mountains looking down on Kingston. The drive is not for the faint of heart, the rule of the road here is that the bigger vehicle always has the right of way-right or wrong- so you will probably need a nice refreshing libation upon arrival. But once you check into you own chalet and listen to the myriad of birds and wildlife your mind, body and soul are already scheduling a meeting to get together.
Simply put this is a Jamaica one rarely finds. First there is no beach, and you know what you don’t care. There are no vendors hawking souvenirs, it’s just you, the attentive staff, fabulous food and the best night’s sleep you have ever had in your life. And when you awake and have a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, really fresh Blue Mountain coffee and sip on some fresh OJ, you’ll feel that all is right with the world. At least for the number of days you’ll spend at Strawberry Hill.

Traveler’s Tip: Bring a sweater, as the thermometer drops to the low 50’s at night up in the mountains, so high above sea level and so far above it all.
