Located in the beautiful Blue Mountains, Strawberry Hills has sublime views.
Each private cottage nestles into the hillside and is constructed in such a way that privacy is assured. Service is exemplary, the food divide and the views will take your breath away.
A stay in one of the resort’s cottages will make you feel more alive than ever. Each cottage exudes its own charm and personality—textured by the vivid historic and local details of the signature aesthetic—a luxurious simplicity that is special to the pure mountain air of Strawberry Hill. Jamaican architect, Ann Hodges, created the post-plantation interpretation of classic colonial style. She has conjured up inviting spaces patterned with imagination on traditional techniques. Be it ample and expansive, or compact and bijou, each individual cottage and villa is enchanting.
The charming mountaintop village, rooted in the communities of nearby villages such as Industry and Redlight, is made up of white, wood-framed cottages and villas of varying sizes. Winding footpaths curve around the mountainside, uniting the cottages while maintaining privacy within the hills’ flanks. Each cottage surrounds you with nature’s spectacular views and lush gardens. Inside, impressive four-poster beds (as comfortable as they are inviting) and finely carved fretwork fanlights created by legacy local artisans in our own Strawberry Hill Workshops, will delight.
The resort’s own Blue Mountains Aromatics toiletries scented with locally sourced mint and rosemary are featured. Exquisite white bed linens accented with vivid African fabrics (all by Mary Vinson’s Royal Hut), add flavor to the décor and are sure to keep you cosy.
The spa
Stress drops away and healing begins as you wander down winding, flower-scented paths to the soothing spa. The pure air and stunning vistas of mountains soaring all around you make the everyday worries slip away. The spa is tucked in a secluded nook of the mountainside, ensuring a private escape. Ease into one of the airy, indoor/outdoor five treatment rooms and let one of the experienced therapists work their relaxing magic.
You will be treated to locally gathered botanicals featuring native lavender and coconut. The potency and purity of the preparations are said to be second to none. The signature treatment, the Blue Mountain Elixir Body Scrub, utilises local coffee beans, followed by a rejuvenating 60-minute deep tissue body massage and hydrotherapy session.
Exploring
One of Strawberry Hill’s great glories is its remote, quiet, pristine mountaintop location, in all its natural splendours. Another is its surprising accessibility to all that Jamaica’s capital city, Kingston, has to offer in the way of art, music and culture. Explore our stunning surroundings, but do take the opportunity to cruise down the mountain’s famous 356 winding bends to see some inspiring Caribbean art or visit the tenement yard where the young Bob Marley once lived. Eat fried fish and festival (a local treat) on an uninhabited Caribbean cay.
