True to its name, Aman-oka is a “peaceful home” of exquisite design and restful ambiance. Quiet interiors are complementary textures of teak, bamboo, and stone from Jamaica, China, and Indonesia. Delicate orchids accessorize every room and bath. Meandering lily ponds, fountains and gardens, and more orchids grace the exterior. The garden at Amanoka is truly beautiful and the outside entertaining space is extraordinary.

The Amanoka compound consists of the Main Villa and The Annex ... linked by a landscaped walkway through an interior courtyard.

Each day begins with fresh-squeezed orange juice and fresh-ground Blue Mountain coffee, fruit, bagels, and muffins on the verandah buffet ... followed by a full breakfast when all guests are ready. Extraordinary lunches and memorable candlelight dinners are served on the al fresco verandah or waterfront deck. Cocktail hour canapés and hors d’oeuvres are offered each evening around the verandah bar. The chef will also plan a torchlight beach party with chicken, chops, steaks, fresh fish, or lobster served to sizzle from the outdoor coal grill.

Unique to Amanoka is its floating spa in a tropical pavilion. The spa sits on a landscaped lily pond bordered by soothing waterfalls. Spa treatments by holistic specialists are available for various fees. Adjacent to the spa is the air-conditioned gym with Precor Elliptical, treadmill, free weights, fitness DVDs, balls, mats, and music. Just across the lane is Amanoka's own Novacrylic surface tennis court, lit for night play. Rackets are provided. Amanoka is a virtual resort within itself.

The state-of-the-art kitchen has a 6-burner gas stove, Jenn-Air double oven, microwave, dishwasher, bottled water server, and gas grill.

Kayaks and snorkel gear are complimentary. In lively Ocho Rios, 30 minutes from Amanoka are nightlife, restaurants, shops, open-air craft markets, more water sports, rafting, jitney tours of a working plantation, and dramatic Dunn’s River Falls. Driving time from the Montego Bay airport to Amanoka is approximately 60 minutes ... well worth the drive along a gorgeous seascape. The eastern shore of Discovery Bay with its lovely villas and cottages is colloquially known as “The Riviera” ... one of Jamaica’s treasures.
