There are some experiences in life that profoundly change the way you view the world. Interludes where sensual pleasure and spiritual peace are mixed in such perfect proportion that they are destined to become defining events of a lifetime.

Just such an experience awaits at Roaring Pavilion Villa & Spa in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica. Selected as one of the best villas in the world by Condé Nast Traveler, Roaring Pavilion transports you to a different dimension of beauty, elegance and style.

Set on a spectacular estate-inspired by exotic Balinese jungle gardens-the villa commands 10 acres of beachfront property that fall away to a sweeping view of the Caribbean, with its thousand shades of blue.

There are but a handful of destinations in the entire world that can offer the quality, grace and spiritual enrichment of a Roaring Pavilion.

Roaring Pavilion Villa and Spa is located on a beachfront estate where the Roaring River meets the Caribbean Sea in St. Ann’s Bay, Jamaica, just a few minutes outside of Ocho Rios.

The villa’s beach is known as James Bond Beach, the location for the classic scene from Dr. No where Sean Connery greeted Ursula Andress emerging from the surf.
