THE PALMYRA RESORT & SPA SET TO OPEN - JAMAICA TOURIST ISSUE 13
With more than 500 workers striving to get The Palmyra Resort & Spa ready for its first residents set to occupy their ‘home away from home’ by the end of the year, the island’s first luxury beachfront community is a buzz of activity. Located on 16 acres of pristine, white sand beachfront in Montego Bay's elite enclave of Rose Hall, only a 15 minute drive from Montego Bay Sangster International Airport, The Palmyra offers residents and guests unparalleled indulgence in a quaint village setting. We take a look at the many unique features that make The Palmyra a “one of a kind” experience for residents and guests.
ARCHITECTS
Capturing the magical essence of Jamaica and skillfully designed by Miami-based architect Joe Andriola, vice president and principal of SB Architects, 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 Joe 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.”
Palms trees, grass and flowers are now being planted to give the property that lush, tropical feeling. 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.”
INTERIOR DESIGN
With interior design by the Chicago based firm Gettys, the natural palette of The Palmyra’s adjoining shores, mountains and greens has inspired the color palette for the residence’s interior décor. The luxuriously appointed studios, one-, two-, three- and four bedroom condominiums and penthouses, and three bedroom villas are elegantly appointed and include options for indoor/outdoor sound system, premium cable HDTV, high-speed internet access, imported custom tile and furnishings and premier appliances.
Named ‘One of the Top 10 Most Exciting Home Developments in the World’ by the prestigious Travel + Leisure Magazine, The Palmyra provides a ground floor real estate opportunity to purchase a condominium or villa within a lush private sanctuary. It is easy to imagine yourself relaxing on the balcony of your own tropical island home gazing out at amazing views of the Caribbean Sea. Model units are open to parties interested in exploring the magic of luxury living at The Palmyra.
CONDOMINIUM RESIDENCES & HOTEL
In addition to the Clubhouse, the stand alone Palmyra ESPA facility and 11 villas, the property features 3 towers named Sabal Palm, Silver Palm and Sentry Palm, totaling 299 residences. 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.
THE PALMYRA ESPA
Designed by Susan Harmsworth, founder and CEO of ESPA, the award-winning spa designer who according to Condé Nast Traveler counts 5 of the world’s top 10 best spas among her designs, The Palmyra ESPA will rival the world’s best in body and soul services. Open-air porticos surrounding a reflecting lily-pond provide a tranquil space that takes full advantage of the wonderful views, creating a perfect atmosphere for the two-storey luxury spa. A state of the art fitness center is also available on property.
54 HOLES OF GOLF
According to Travel + Leisure, Rose Hall, Jamaica is the Best Golf Resort in the Caribbean and residents of The Palmyra will enjoy privileged membership to Rose Hall’s three golf courses: White Witch, Cinnamon Hill and Half Moon, representing 54 holes of spectacular golf within a one mile radius of the resort. With the transitioning trade winds that make every round a newfound experience, it is easy to see why many will consider golf to be the crown jewel of this remarkable new resort community.
POOLS & BEACH
Palmyra residents and guests can enjoy sunbathing at two magnificent pools or at The Palmyra’s spectacular white sand beach with an abundance of palm trees. More than US$3.5 million has been invested in the creation of an environmentally friendly, natural ecosystem and the preservation of existing marine life on The Palmyra coastline. 23,000 sq.ft. of marine sea grass and 97 coral heads including finger coral, star coral, starlet, hill and fire corals have been relocated offshore to enable dredging of the bottom to provide a clear, sandy swimming beach. Beachside amenities include cabanas, restaurant services, snorkeling, kayaking and other water sports.
DINING
At The Palmyra, the joys of the table include a delightful blend of fresh, local flavors and exquisite continental cuisine. Three restaurants offer casual to fine dining to the backdrop of magnificent oceanfront views. Dining options include a stylish al fresco restaurant specializing in authentic Caribbean Cuban cuisine and the main dining venue and bar located in the Clubhouse which serves a la carte breakfast, lunch and dinner. Casual fare is served at the Beach Bar & Grill or at the Gourmet Shop and 24-hour in-room dining is available to guests who prefer to enjoy a relaxed meal in the privacy of their residences.
WEDDINGS & EVENTS
With 13,000 indoor square feet and 10,000 square feet of outdoor function space, The Palmyra offers all the conveniences and capabilities to make everything from a destination wedding to an executive retreat a truly special occasion. Fully furnished meeting rooms can be customized in different sizes to suit the specific needs of any meeting, conference or corporate event. Additional amenities include business center, ballroom and a picturesque gazebo at the end of a beautiful 300 feet boardwalk to create a truly unique wedding spot with panoramic ocean views. Additionally, the Palmyra is located directly across from the new Montego Bay Convention Centre currently under construction.

Whether on-site activities or adventures outside of Rose Hall are on the day’s schedule, the skilled concierge staff takes pride in making each and every guest’s vacation unique and memorable from stocking refrigerators with choice products, partnering guests with the best island guides available or simply arranging restaurant reservations, tee times or babysitters.
