Mitchell Fortress is a rare Caribbean gem—originally a 17th-century stronghold, now beautifully restored as a 4-bedroom villa steeped in history. Once used by the British to fend off Spanish invaders and pirates, its thick stone walls still feature gun slots, with two restored cannons standing proudly on the lawn.
A half-million-dollar renovation has brought the property into the modern day, blending Italian floors, crisp white fabrics, and imported European furnishings with the villa’s historic charm. All bedrooms are ensuite with sleek Grohe fixtures, double vanities, glass-wall showers, flat-screen TVs, and either air conditioning or refreshing sea breezes.
The estate is split between the Main House and the Schoolhouse. The Main House offers inviting lounges with beamed ceilings, a book-lined dining area for twelve, and a cosy bar. Upstairs bedrooms open to ocean-view balconies. The 1953 Schoolhouse, just 60 feet away, has a living room and three ensuite bedrooms—two upstairs and one at beach level, ideal for grandparents or a second family.
Outdoors, a stone veranda is perfect for sunset drinks or alfresco dining. The gardener sets chaises in sun or shade on request, and just offshore lies a vibrant reef for snorkeling. Guests also enjoy sea kayaks, beach toys, table tennis, volleyball, and access to a nearby tennis court. Added perks include a horseback ride and a jitney tour of Prospect Estate.
Set on a stunning beach minutes from Ocho Rios, Mitchell Fortress is a unique blend of history, luxury, and Caribbean beauty—a holiday you’ll never forget.
- The ground floor bedroom in the schoolhouse is accessed via the living room and so it less private than the others.
- Remember, it is customary to pay a 15% Gratuity fee before leaving your Villa in Jamaica.
- Beaches in Jamaica are never private and while unusual, other people can use the beach area.
- The villa is about 90 minutes from Montego Bay airport.

Villa Staff at this property:
A full-time dedicated chef, butler, and housekeeper attend exclusively to your villa.
Your cook will handle grocery shopping and meal preparation. They will pre-purchase your first few meals plus pantry staples, then finish the week's shopping after meeting with you. At week's end, they will present receipts for all food and beverage and reconcile your account. A typical grocery budget is $85-$95 per adult per day and $45-$50 per day for preteens. This may vary up or down depending on market prices and menus.(more luxurious items such as shrimp, lobster, imported meats and Champagne will incur a further charge).
Your cook will also pre-purchase a small starter bar (a few bottles of Red Stripe, moderately-priced wine and rum). Additional alcohol requests will increase your budget. If you wish to go to the various markets with them, you are welcome. Otherwise, simply review your tastes and distastes with them and they'll handle it all while you stay at the villa and relax.
A nanny can be arranged for an average of $12 per hour. Guests should plan to add approximately $20 per day for food for their nanny.
For any requests simply fill in the concierge request form or contact the Oliver’s Concierge Team.
Please note that all extras are subject to availability and must be requested in advance of the holiday (prices on request). Due to some rural/remote locations, not all services will be available at all properties. However, we will always do our best to fulfil your requests!
