The estate was purchased in 1936 by Sir Harold Mitchell, whose affection for Jamaica began when he was a small boy. In 1947, he married and arrived at the Great House with his bride and, over the next forty years, hosted heads of state, royalty and diplomats, establishing a custom of inviting guests to plant trees on the estate. He hosted the Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Edward Heath, Henry Kissinger, HRH Prince Phillip and many others. Winston Churchill’s large Jamaican mahogany, planted in 1953, stands by the entrance to the Great House. Sir Harold set about planting large areas of the estate with Jamaican pimento, coconuts, limes, bananas, pineapples, coffee and sugar cane, and although the estate no longer practices commercial agriculture, the crops are maintained, and guests enjoy seeing them.

Location
About the surrounding area of Wag Water at Prospect EstateWag Water at Prospect Estate is located on the dreamy Prospect Estate. It is a superb location, and the villa enjoys a superb waterfront location. It is just a short distance from the picturesque town of Ocho Rios, one mile east of the White River, which separates the parishes of St Ann and St Mary. The estate enjoys a fabulous history and is absolutely gorgeous.
Ocho Rios is a fabulous location enjoying stunning scenery, renowned attractions, world-class resorts, vast shopping options and a fantastic dining scene. The locals call it ‘the garden parish’ as abundance awaits in the forms of greenery, flavours and variety. You will discover stunning beaches, the roar of waterfalls flowing into the Caribbean Sea and lush forests. Its highlights include the popular Dunn’s River Falls, Mystic Mountain Rainforest, Margaritaville, the Goldeneye Estate of James Bond fame, its craft market and Port Maria with its national heritage sites. Ocho Rios means eight rivers, though there are actually only four rivers in the area: Cave River, Roaring River, Turtle River and Dunns River.
Though you may be tempted to relax and rejuvenate on the estate, Jamaica is an extraordinarily beautiful island where you can discover natural beauty, history and heritage. Its mountain range rises to almost seven thousand feet, there are incredible rivers that flow and tumble through verdant valleys, and some of the world’s most prized coffee is grown. You can book a four-wheel drive tour to discover this amazing landscape, drift down the Martha Brae on a bamboo raft, travel up the Black River to observe crocodiles made famous in the James Bond film Live and Let Die, take a dip in the bracing waters of YS Falls or climb the terraced waterfall at Dunn’s River Falls. Cascading water drops a dramatic six hundred feet within tropical greenery at the falls. You can join an organised climb up the limestone tiers and follow this with a swim at the beach below. Dunn’s River Falls is one of Jamaica’s national treasures. Deep sea sport fishing is also very popular, hunting for tuna, marlin and swordfish. Swimming with dolphins goes down a treat, and dune buggy safaris head off in the wilderness to explore some of Jamaica’s more remote areas.
The Prospect Estate Concierge Team can organise many trips for you. The Yaaman Adventure Park was known as Prospect Plantation in the 18th century. You will enjoy nature, wildlife, and so much more when taking a Yaaman Adventure Tour. You can take an open-air carriage, a camel safari, go horseback riding, visit the butterfly aviary and feed the ostriches. At Dolphin Cove, a very special excursion, you will swim with dolphins, interact with stingrays or visit a shark show. This natural cove is surrounded by five acres of lush rainforest. It is such a wonderful experience to swim with the dolphins in the natural Caribbean Sea plus enjoy the company of different fish, rays and other forms of sea life. When not swimming, you can stroll through the estate taking the Jungle Trail, where you will notice different wild animals, plants and trees.
You can tour one hundred acres of rainforest in the mountains, seven hundred foot above sea level at Mystic Mountain. Here, you can experience the SkyExplorer, Bobsled Ride, Canopy Zipline and Mystic Waterslide. The Bobsled Ride was inspired by the famous Jamaican bobsled Olympic team and is the park’s signature attraction. You will be strapped into a custom-designed sled and whooshed down a one thousand-metre-long track installed into the side of the mountain. Amazing!
Chukka Caribbean Adventures take you through the jungle rainforest on ziplines, on a catamaran cruise and to Dunn’s River Falls. There are also horseback ride and swim sessions, river tubing, visits to mysterious limestone caves, tours of Bob Marley, the King of Reggae’s home and food and rum tours.
Golf fans will be very happy. There are many excellent courses, including the closest at the Sandals Resort. Its rolling fairways enjoy sweeping views of the sea and mountains. This magnificent 18-hole course rises seven hundred feet above sea level in the lush hills of Ocho Rios with a practice range, putting and chipping greens, shop and restaurant.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesFamilies adore Wag Water at Prospect Estate. It is absolutely beautiful and comes with a gorgeous garden and a fab swimming pool. Children love having their yummy breakfasts prepared for them! The Prospect Estate tennis courts are popular too.
Jamaica is absolutely brilliant for children. Not only are there spectacular beaches, wonderful boat rides, safari and plantation visits, there are some thrilling activities. Children can navigate the river rapids in inflatable rings zipline and stand under waterfalls. River tubing is such good fun. They enjoy learning how Jamaica’s most popular rum is made, kayaking on rivers, tackling rapids and fast water and ascending into forest tree canopies for a zipline flight through the treetops.
Dolphin Cove is one of the most popular attractions close to the villa. Children return home with magical memories of swimming with dolphins and other sea life in the sea. The surrounding area is also wonderful, lush and full of wildlife.
The Coyaba River Gardens and Museum is a great excursion. It is a beautiful botanical garden. The museum displays pre-Columbian artefacts from the Taino Arawak cultures of Jamaica’s first inhabitants. It is a great place to get back to nature. Coyaba means paradise in the language of Jamaica’s first people. This is as close to the Garden of Eden as you can get. At the heart of the gardens is the Milford River, which runs through the estate. Its limestone base gives a very clear view of koi, snapper and turtles. There is a canopy of almond trees, avocado trees, giant cedars and other trees. Yassi’s lookout point offers breathtaking views of the bay. Tucked deep in the gardens are the Mahoe Falls, which children love climbing. They might not be as big as Dunn’s River Falls, but they are beautiful, and you do not need a guide. Just make sure that you pack your swimming things! The gardens were once part of the Shaw Park Estate, home to the first hotel in Ocho Rios back in 1923.
Children also enjoy heading over to Turtle River Park, where they can check out the fish pond and search for turtles, play on the playground and relax in the gazebo. They love getting their hair braided with colourful beads and visiting one of the many handicraft markets for some souvenirs.
