PALMYRA'S FIRST CONDO OWNERS TAKE OCCUPANCY OF THEIR LUXURY RESIDENCES - JAMAICA TOURIST ISSUE 14
The opportunity for world class, luxury living in Jamaica at prices far below those of other Caribbean islands is now very much a reality. Called the “Jewel in the Crown of Jamaica” by former Prime Minister P.J. Patterson at the 2005 groundbreaking ceremony, The Palmyra Resort & Spa is making real estate history with the hand-over of keys to its first buyers. We talked to some of the owners who are enjoying their residences, The Palmyra pool area & bar, the magnificent white sand beach and extremely attentive service by the resort’s Concierges, Private Chefs and the Solis hotel staff.
Commented Robert T. Trotta, developer of The Palmyra, “We were delighted to hand over keys to our owners in time for Christmas. Taking into consideration the more than 100 Caribbean real estate projects that have currently been stopped or abandoned, our opening is a real accomplishment for Jamaica.” The opening of The Palmyra’s first condominium building, Sabal Palm, marks the commencement of a phased opening of the luxury beachfront community, which will be rolled out over the next few months.
A pioneering development upon its introduction to the island, The Palmyra has ignited the island’s luxury real estate industry providing lovers of Jamaica with an opportunity to purchase a luxury, oceanfront residence within its lush, private sanctuary. Explained Trotta, “The many owners who have purchased residences at The Palmyra love Jamaica above any other destinations. They want to enjoy true luxury living to the backdrop of the island’s unique vibe.”
And who can blame them? Combined with the many infrastructure upgrades and the explosive development which have taken place along Jamaica’s “Elegant Corridor” over the last 5 years, The Palmyra has fashioned a winning combination for those who wish to escape to a place in the sun during the coldest winter months. Skillfully designed by Miami-based architect Joe Andriola, vice president and principal of SB Architects, The Palmyra encompasses a private village of one, two, three and four bedroom condominiums and villas built in the timeless, grand tradition of British Colonial architecture. Aside from its fabulous location in the elite enclave of Rose Hall, the spectacular ocean views and the magnificent white sand beach are perhaps The Palmyra’s most seducing features.
Said Kim and Tom Oliver from Macon Georgia, “When we saw The Palmyra, we knew right away we wanted to own. First I have to say; the beach far exceeds anything we could have imagined. I want to live here all year round! I love our third floor view; it’s perfect. Two things I have to comment on is the incredible mattress and the cascading water shower…perfect.”
The Olivers also fell in love with Rose Hall’s three internationally-acclaimed golf courses with 54 spectacular holes of golf, all located within a one mile radius of The Palmyra, to which Palmyra owners enjoy privileged access, “Kim and I have vacationed at some fabulous resorts thru-out the Caribbean and we are both golf players. We loved playing the White Witch, and now have unlimited opportunity to play all the courses.”
A member of The Leading Hotels of the World, The Palmyra has partnered with international hotel-guru Horst Schulze, the creator of the Ritz-Carlton brand, to provide residents and guests with unparalleled indulgence with a tropical flair. Named ‘One of the Top 10 Most Exciting Home Developments in the World’ by the prestigious Travel + Leisure Magazine, the luxury community will be managed by premier hotel management company West Paces’ brand Solis Hotels & Resorts.
Said Dr. Macauley and his fiancée Dr. Edwards from Miami, Florida, “My fiancée and I are so excited to enjoy our fabulous home in Jamaica. The ocean view from our terrace is spectacular and the beach is more beautiful than we had imagined. What has also impressed us is the incredible staff, who has been so helpful and gone out of their way to make sure we are comfortable. Solis has done an exceptional job at hiring the right people and training them with attention to guest satisfaction.”
Owners Karen and Guy Gentile, from Putnam County, New York, enjoyed a relaxing break at The Palmyra over the Christmas period, “Both my husband and I live such busy lives at home running our respective companies, consisting of US broker dealers, real-estate and software technology companies, that the opportunity to actually relax and enjoy time away with our family is so important.”
The Palmyra is luring discerning buyers and guests with an array of services and amenities that is hard to match. Ensnared to design and operate the 30,000 sqft Palmyra ESPA, globally renowned spa specialist Susan Harmsworth has brought the designer spa concept as well as her cache to the island. The mastermind behind 5 of the top 10 spas on Condé Nast Traveler’s “world’s best” list, Harmsworth has created some of the world’s most luxurious spa facilities and with 14 treatment rooms, three private VIP suites, a Hibiscus Tea Lounge, relaxation rooms and vitality pools, The Palmyra ESPA promises to be the Caribbean’s premier haven for pampering and rejuvenation.
Added Tom Oliver from Macon Georgia, “Kim and I are looking forward to the spa, which is going to be a world class facility. Its size, the design and the features are, again, much more than I expected. Both Kim and I are so happy to be part of Palmyra and we look forward to all the incredible development on each returning trip; which by the way, will be next month.
Paving the way for green, eco-friendly development in the Caribbean, The Palmyra has invested US$20 million in the Caribbean’s first tri-generation plant capable of producing electricity, steam and air conditioning. The green power-plant, which produces only 5% of the greenhouse emissions of a regular power-plant, is hurricane resistant and houses enough on-site fuel to last for more than 20 days in the event of an emergency.
With the developer approved for a casino license that includes sports book and table games such as Roulette, Craps, Blackjack and Baccarat, The Palmyra forms the cornerstone of the island’s first casino & resort development of “Celebration Jamaica”, a US$1.8B master plan development set to be rolled out on 65 acres of oceanfront land adjacent to The Palmyra.
Less than a 3 hour flight from most major US markets, more than 300 flights service Jamaica’s brand new Montego Bay Sangster International Airport per week. Once on the island, The Palmyra is a mere 15 minute drive away from Montego Bay’s Sangster International airport and its private jet terminal on the brand new, 4 lane Northcoast Highway.
