THE PALMYRA RESORT AND SPA SCOOPS INTERNATIONAL REAL ESTATE AWARD – JAMAICA TOURIST ISSUE 8
Already one of the most talked-about new developments in the Caribbean, Jamaica’s new luxury residential community scooped the award for Best Innovation at the December 2007 UK Homes Overseas Awards, also called the ‘Oscars’ of the international real estate industry. Situated on 16 acres of pristine, white sand waterfront in the elite enclave of Rose Hall, The Palmyra Resort & Spa offers luxury living in oceanfront suites & villas with private butlers, a world class signature spa, four restaurants, two swimming pools, private beach and three championship golf courses.
Featuring a panel of judges made up of respected professionals from across the real estate industry, including architects, surveyors and renowned property journalists, the UK Homes Overseas Awards aim to provide a seal of approval that offers prospective second home buyers with peace of mind. Stated Mike Hayes, Deputy Editorial Director of the Homes Overseas Awards; “The Palmyra Resort & Spa is already setting new standards in Caribbean residential property development, and some of the latest announcements – including the membership to The Leading Hotels of the World – will surely place it among the top resorts in the Caribbean.”
Competing exclusively in the category of Best Innovation, which recognizes developers ahead of current standard industry thinking in their approach to planning, design or construction, the luxury development received acclaim for their approach to the environment. Fully furnished suites, condominiums apartments, penthouses and private villas are set in a tropical village environment with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea. Stated Sarah Negrin, Editor of Homes Overseas Magazine; “The judges were extremely impressed with the ambition shown by the developers of The Palmyra Resort & Spa, both in terms of the high-quality interior and exterior design, and the efforts made to lessen the development’s impact on the environment.”
Designed by Miami-based architect Joseph Andriola, Vice President of SB Architects, in close collaboration with Chicago-based interior design firm The Gettys Group, exteriors are built in the timeless, grand tradition of British Colonial architecture while inspiration for the residences interior décor have been taken from the natural palette of the adjoining shores, ocean, mountains and greens. Green resort infrastructure includes the construction of an eco-friendly electric plant, avoiding additional strain on the local power infrastructure; and the installation of a bio-digester sewage system, creating synthetic fuel from by-products collected in and around the resort.
A member of luxury hospitality company ‘The Leading Hotels of the World’, the resort boasts the added indulgence of the spectacular 30,000 sq ft. Palmyra ESPA. Residents enjoy preferred access to three breathtakingly different golf experiences at The White Witch, Cinnamon Hill and Half Moon golf courses, all within a one mile radius. Residents can relax by one of two swimming pools that overlook the sea or enjoy swimming and snorkelling in the private, cove off the resort’s pristine, white sand beach. Said Negrin; “A combination of luxury lifestyle facilities and environmental awareness is precisely the sort of innovation we were hoping to see at this year’s awards, and The Palmyra Resort & Spa is deserving of its recognition in the Best Innovation category.”
For elegant or relaxed dining throughout the day, The Palmyra offers four distinct restaurants and bars. The resort’s stylish gourmet restaurant and nightclub, Hemingway’s Hideaway, specializes in authentic Caribbean and Cuban cuisine and fine wines while Sugar & Spice is the resort’s round-the-clock dining venue located in the social hub of the resort,- the Colonial Clubhouse, also home to The Bango Bango Bar. Casual fare and drink is also available in a tropical atmosphere at two Beach Bar & Grill’s, adjacent to The Palmyra’s swimming pools.
The prestigious Homes Overseas Award win follows a year of international recognitions from acclaimed sources, as The Palmyra made it onto Travel + Leisure exclusive 2007 list of ‘Top 10 Most Exciting Home Developments in the World’ and was announced 5-star award winner at the 2007 CNBC International Property Awards.
Said Bob Trotta, developer of The Palmyra Resort & Spa; - “We are incredibly proud to introduce a luxury real estate product that captures the magical essence of Jamaica. The Palmyra Resort & Spa offers unparalleled indulgence in a tropical island setting. Additionally, we have brought the world’s most renowned spa designer to the island to create the Caribbean’s most spectacular spa.”
Additional resort amenities include children’s day camp, state-of the-art fitness centre, business centre, gourmet food shop, divisible meeting and banquet facilities, grand ballrooms and a romantic seaside wedding gazebo. Personal Concierges, private Butlers and Chefs are on hand to take care of residents’ every need. Continued Trotta; “We recognize that today’s second home buyers are looking for convenience, comfort and pampering, and those are the fundamental elements of our real estate offer. Our aim was to provide our residents with all the modern aspects of luxury living in a Jamaican atmosphere, and I think we have achieved that.”
Within its lush, private sanctuary, The Palmyra offers lavish suites, condominiums, penthouses and villas with premium cable HDTV and high speed internet at prices considerably lower than the other Caribbean islands.

Concluded Trotta; “With an exceptional combination of weather, beauty, location and culture, Jamaica is poised to become a top second-home destination for years to come. We invite potential home owners to visit our Sales Center next to the Ritz-Carlton Golf & Spa Resort in Rose Hall while on the island.” The Palmyra offers free transportation to and from their offices in Rose Hall.
