The Trident Hotel
Mid-century modern jet-set crash pad. White walls, dark wood floors, Eames and Saarinen furniture, gallery-quality artwork, speakeasy supper club. Effortless glamour without the pretension.
Ask for a Deluxe Villa if you want the outdoor terrace tub with ocean views — Mr & Mrs Smith rates it as the sweet spot, with more outdoor space than indoor.
Why It Matters
One of the very few places on the island where you get genuine villa-level privacy — your own plunge pool, your own terrace, your own Caribbean vista — with actual nightlife worth leaving the room for. Mike's Supper Club, with its 1917 Ferrari-red Steinway and live jazz every night, is a genuinely special venue. Port Antonio itself is off the mass-tourism radar entirely, so the beach and the Blue Lagoon aren't overrun.
Thirteen oceanfront villas spread across more than 10 acres on Jamaica's quiet northeast coast, where Port Antonio's lush jungle meets the Caribbean. The design is firmly mid-century modern — curated original artwork from the '50s and '60s, clean white-on-white interiors, and every villa with its own private plunge pool or outdoor soaking tub. This is not the Jamaica of packed all-inclusives; it's the Jamaica that Bette Davis and Rudyard Kipling once called their winter haunt.

Deluxe Villa
The fan favorite. At 85 sq.m, it has notably more outdoor space than indoor — with an ocean-facing soaking tub perched on the terrace alongside the plunge pool. The interiors have the same mid-century modern aesthetic with hand-selected furnishings and original artwork. One bedroom, living room, walk-in closet. Sleeps up to 4.
King · 85 sqm
Junior Villa
A step up in size at 74.4 sq.m, with a private terrace and plunge pool. The Junior Villa does not include an indoor or outdoor bathtub (most other villa types do), so it's the pool-only configuration at this tier. Living room, closet, wet bar and mini bar. Sleeps up to 4.
King · 74 sqm
Premium Villa
Also known as the Shiprock Villa — the largest single-bedroom option at 95 sq.m.

Ideal for guests who want maximum space in a one-bedroom layout. Sleeps up to 4.
King · 95 sqm
Studio Villa
The entry-level option — and still a proper villa. At 60 sq.m, it's genuinely spacious with airy interiors that flow between bedroom, bathroom, and living area. Note that it does not have a private plunge pool (the one exception among all villa types), but it does have a private terrace. Living room, wet bar and mini bar, walk-in closet, and all the standard villa tech. Sleeps up to 3.
King · 60 sqm
Two Bedroom Villa
Also called the Compass Villa. The go-to for two couples traveling together or a family with older teens. Two full king bedrooms, two walk-in closets, shared living room, and all the standard villa amenities including private terrace and plunge pool. Sleeps up to 6.
