THE PALMYRA RESORT & SPA NEARS COMPLETION - JAMAICA TOURIST ISSUE 11
In the heart of the West Indies, within Montego Bay’s elite enclave of Rose Hall, the private sanctuary of The Palmyra Resort & Spa is being dressed with its final finishes. With architecture and design inspired by the vibrant island culture, The Palmyra is setting a new luxury standard in resort creation by incorporating the latest in modern conveniences with the natural beauty of its location. Each of the residences is carefully positioned to capture the unique views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea, featuring generous balconies to extend the living space outside, allowing residents and guests to fully enjoy the wonderful climate.
Designed by Florida based SB Architects, The Palmyra’s exterior has captured the timeless, grand tradition of British colonial architecture and is designed to incorporate the style, spirit and scale of its surroundings. The Palmyra Resort & Spa encompasses a private village of one-, two- and three-bedroom condominiums, penthouses and three-bedroom villas built in a tropical village setting.
Masters in the art of creating luxury communities, SB Architects has specialized in the design of high-end hospitality destinations and vibrant, livable residential and mixed-use communities for almost 50 years. Their portfolio includes a wide range of projects such as Miami’s Fisher Island, Calistoga Ranch in Napa Valley, Raffles St. Lucia and several Starwood Luxury Collection and Ritz-Carlton hotels, as well as the new Tiger Woods Dubai, a residential community boasting the world's first Tiger Woods-designed golf course.
Says Joseph Andriola, vice president and principal of SB Architects; “The wonderful climate of Jamaica has afforded us many opportunities to create outdoor living spaces ranging from private courtyards with individual plunge pools in the estate villas and penthouses to large wrap around terraces with direct kitchen connections in many of the residences. Generous balconies and open framed roof areas extend the living space outside and enhance outdoor living for residents by allowing full use of the additional space.”
Many of the architectural cues have been taken from the British colonial architecture of Jamaica’s past and the development provides an integrated mix of structures and landscaped spaces, woven together to create an elegantly relaxed resort environment. Beaches, pools, gardens and amenities create wonderful recreational spaces for the residents, who will be able to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle that rivals the best resorts in the world. Says Andriola; “The size of the overall development has allowed us to design public amenity buildings that are generous in scope and diverse in location such as an oceanfront restaurant, a magnificent Club House and a very exclusive spa facility.”
Finishes Andriola; “We are truly excited to be a part of this project. As designers, it affords us with the opportunity to create not only a luxurious residential product but also a true resort village with a large variety of building types and scales, a rich mix of outdoor spaces and a range of dramatic views.”
BEAUTIFUL MODEL UNIT AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING
The recent opening of a fully furnished model unit is yet another reason to visit The Palmyra Sales Center, adjacent to The Ritz-Carlton in Rose Hall. Says Debra Derrick, Director of Sales at The Palmyra; “Although construction and landscaping activities are happening all around, people now have the opportunity to enter the sanctuary of a two bedroom, three bath residence and close the door behind them. The striking beauty of the Caribbean Sea and the ocean pavilion look even more beautiful when you sit back and relax on the sofa.”
Working with SB Architects is the Chicago-based interior design firm, The Gettys Group. Inspiration for the residences’ interior décor has been taken from the natural palette of the adjoining shores, ocean, mountains and greens. Rich stone, sumptuous floors and soft textured walls are combined with a medley of clean lined upholstery and timeless seating styles to create a home for all generations. Explains Derrick; “Comfortable tonal fabrics complement the furnishings with accents of tropical pattern and color, bringing the outdoors inside. Architectural niches reflect the colors of the island resembling the ocean’s clear waters and the warmth of a Caribbean sunset.”
With completion of the model unit, The Palmyra marketing team has produced a video allowing owners and interested parties around the world to view the inside magic of island living. “The calls and email response to the video were immediate,” says Derrick. “We were delighted that those who had not seen the property in a while were now able to see the standard of the residence and what luxury living at The Palmyra truly represents. It is easy to imagine yourself relaxing on the balcony of your own island tropical home, enjoying amazing views of the Caribbean Sea.” To see the video, visit www.thepalmyra.com.
According to Derrick, the response to the project has been overwhelmingly positive; “Each person who tours the property comments on the graceful beauty of the 30,000 square foot ESPA and the sweeping, sprial staircase of the Clubhouse. Golfers playing a round on the acclaimed White Witch, are also treated to spectacular views of The Palmyra set against the beautiful coastline.”
Derrick invites everyone who is curious about the real estate opportunity to visit The Palmyra Sales Center at The Palms, Rose Hall, for a full property tour; “A trip to Jamaica is not complete without a visit to The Palmyra! We encourage you to come and see us during your stay before we officially open the doors.”
