Nestled on its own sandy beach by the blue waters of Discovery Bay, Alvita is a spacious and playful family home. The design is of typical Caribbean gingerbread style, with hand-carved fretwork trimming the length of the house.
The villa is a five-minute walk from both the famous beach, Puerto Seco and local amenities so you will have no trouble finding ways to enjoy your experience!
The sumptuous seven double bedrooms within the villa, benefit from having nine bathrooms ensuring that all guests are covered within the 12,000 square feet of the villa's grounds! The living room has been designed in an open space architectural design, allowing the dazzling Jamaican sunshine throughout its entire space! French doors in this area open up to a lovely 1500 ft colonnade perfect for alfresco dining! The outdoor area is covered in delightful Thunbergia flowers and the colonnade is also covered, providing shade on a hot Jamaican day! And when those days get too hot, you can take a dip in the pool and rest assured for any kids with you, as the villa has floating devices for all little ones!
As well as being a beachfront location, which gives you access to the soft white sand beach and the clear blue sea, you can use the complimentary water activity equipment that the villa has to offer! Nearby, those who wish to watch and relax in the beautiful climate, can do so on the over-the-water gazebo. Enjoy the holiday that will live up to all expectations as Alvita also offers a bar for cocktails and drinks by the pool and beach!
The seven air-conditioned bedrooms have views of the sea and mountain so you can admire picturesque scenes whilst you relax. Each bedroom has an en suite bathroom and there are comfy beds for kids too.

Location
About the surrounding area of AlvitaVilla Alvita, a testament to the island’s history sits in Discovery Bay, on the northern coast of Jamaica. As the name suggests it is supposedly one of the first parts of Jamaica discovered by Christopher Columbus and the nautical vibe is persistent throughout the town!
The villa itself is located on a beachfront, so you can enjoy intimate times with the whole family without having to travel! However, as you are situated on the northern coast of the Caribbean Sea, you can frolic on any of the area's public beaches! Only a five-minute stroll from Alvita, Puerto Seco's vast, white sand beach makes it a popular choice for both holiday makers and the local residents alike, so if the locals love it, it's a definite must visit! The Puerto Seco Beach Park will entertain both children and adults with its inflatable amusements on the sea!
If you are looking for something different, a touch of adventure, a journey into the underground or the nostalgia of history, Green Grotto Caves is the perfect option. Linked to both the island’s history and area, it is a major natural attraction for both local visitors and tourists who crave adventure. On your outward journey of this enchanting tour, stop at the “Wishing Well” and throw a coin – for luck, for love or any of your heart’s desires! Go and explore but watch out for the bats!
After a connecting experience with nature if you are still craving more, Dunn’s River Falls, is the perfect choice! You will find yourself walking along the beach and right into the falls, a breath-taking landscape that you couldn’t simply walk past, you will have to surrender to the indigenous beauty!
One of the highlights of this area includes the Blue Hole, an obligatory stop for all members of the family. A beautiful, pale, chalky, blue river surrounded and embedded in lush green forest!
The enticing blue water will want to make you jump inside and you can do just that by jumping off one of the many platforms or swinging off one of the various rope swings around the river!
Avita's location offers a wide array of restaurants, shops, bars, beaches and tour and activity services. The villa is just 30 km away from one of the most fascinating places in the Jamaican island, Ocho Rios, a fishing village, where a bite to eat is a must!

What a wonderful time!
What a wonderful time we had...It rained for 5 days in a row and the sea was too rough to enjoy, but we still had a great time playing beach ball baseball, soccer, and volleyball on the expansive yard and walking down the road to the fishermen's beach and the coral cliffs. (With 8 boys ages 6-12 that was quite an accomplishment.) There were so many spaces to break off and play games, read a book or sit and chat that everyone was comfortable. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The last night bonfire was so special and the roast pig was a huge hit. We'll be back!!!!!

Lots of smiles and friendliness
My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and renewed our vows. It is absolutely gorgeous, more than you can ever imagine. It was the perfect place for our ceremony. However, it would not be as amazing if the staff were not who they are. They are the icing on the cake that will make you not want to leave. They were very accommodating, all you had to do was ask and you received. Chef Maylin; Butler Derval; Housekeeper/Laundress - Norine; Gardner - Cat, plus all the others were extremely the best care takers ever. They went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. The grounds of the villa were kept immaculate at all times. We had 8 staff and we, a group of 12, appreciate each and everyone of them. Their smiles and friendliness will always be remembered until we return. This was an awesome experience that will last a life time.
