Let sparks fly during a destination vacation that features all the makings of romance.
Golden Eye, Jamaica
The resort overlooks the Caribbean Sea in the quiet village of Oracabessa Bay on Jamaica’s north coast. Built by novelist Ian Fleming as his Jamaican retreat, GoldenEye is where Fleming wrote all 14 James Bond novels. As James Bond’s birthplace, the property just oozes cool. It’s especially perfect for adventure-seeking couples. Guests can bathe under the stars in private outdoor showers and sip cocktails at sunset at Firefly, Noel Coward’s hilltop home. Jet Ski to Robins Bay, a black-sand beach only accessible by sea, where guests won’t see another soul in sight, join a guided run through Oracabessa, or paddleboard on the lagoon.
