Perched in a picturesque setting, Villa Amana's location is nothing short of a tropical paradise. With a wonderfully elevated position, this exquisite retreat offers guests a front-row seat to magnificent ocean views and a backdrop of lush, forested hills that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Nestled within the embrace of the Tryall Club, Villa Amana sits amid the tropical oasis of a former sugar cane plantation, where mango trees laden with ripe fruit cling to the lush hillside. The club's 2,200-acre property reveals traces of its storied history, with clean and well-kept white stucco buildings that seem to have preserved the charm of the 1940s when the club first welcomed visitors. Palm trees reaching up to 50 feet surround the villas, each offering enchanting views of the Caribbean Sea.
Venturing to the beach, guests will discover that all non-motorised water sports are complementary, from snorkelling (with gear provided) to the thrill of paddleboarding. The beach staff, known to be swift and accommodating, ensure your comfort with chair covers and towels upon request, and although the beach is slightly smaller than some in the area, the clean sand and clear, almost wave-less water make it an ideal choice for families with children. The permanent straw umbrellas that dot the sands are a welcome refuge from the intense Jamaican sun, although Oliver recommends staking your claim on beach chairs and umbrellas by 10 am, as an hour later, you might struggle to find any left!
For families, the resort’s kids’ club is a delight, offering creative activities like tie-dyeing, bracelet beading, and mini-Olympics on the beach. Wednesday night's beach barbecues will become a cherished memory, featuring buffets of traditional Jamaican cuisine, and captivating shows featuring limbo, fire eating, and traditional Jamaican dance.
While some amenities are only available at an additional cost, such as motorised watersports, nanny services and golf, the Tryall Club extends complimentary access to most facilities for its members, including tennis, gyms, Hummingbird Kids Club, Great House afternoon tea, Manager's Cocktail Party, and various special events. It's a sanctuary where guests can immerse themselves in the rich history and vibrant culture of Jamaica while enjoying the all-encompassing amenities of this tropical paradise.
