James Bond's Jamaica

If you like your martinis shaken, not stirred, you’ll want to take advantage of the Ultimate Bond Adventure Experience when headed to Jamaica. Magellan Jets and hospitality marketing group, Island Outpost, have partnered to offer a private charter to the island’s exclusive North Coast Ian Fleming International Airport (IFIA) and accommodations at the lavish GoldenEye and serene Strawberry Hill Hotel & Spa.

Three miles from IFIA in Oracabessa sits GoldenEye, a hideaway built by James Bond author Ian Fleming in the 1950s to host the shiniest of the glitterati and literati. Under the current ownership of Island Records label founder, Chris Blackwell, the 20-unit, 52-acre property remains the epitome of celebrity cool. All villas and cottages take advantage of secluded beaches, the lagoon, and tropical gardens, and guests willing to really splash out can book Fleming’s own private three-bedroom villa – complete with two guest cottages and his original writing desk.

Strawberry Hill Hotel & Spa is no less magnificent. Teetering 3,100 feet above sea level in Jamaica’s renowned coffee-producing Blue Mountains, it’s a newly refurbished oasis of beauty and tranquility. The property’s saltwater infinity pool affords a 40-mile view of vibrant Kingston on a clear day, and guests can make reservations to dine within cliffside alcoves or to hot tub in a furnished cave.

In addition to private jets, helicopter transfers, and ground transportation between airports and destinations, The James Bond Experience includes gourmet Jamaican-style catering, Bond-themed gift baskets, cocktails, massages, a tour of Noel Coward’s historic hilltop home at GoldenEye, and more.
