Our favourite rooms

Each of the 13 secluded villas have a private terrace with plunge pools, and exude the effortless cool of a cutting-edge art gallery (and are larger than most, too). But, if you want to truly immerse yourself in the tropical surroundings, splurge for a one-bedroom Deluxe Villa boasting more outdoor square footage than indoor, complete with an ocean-facing soaking tub perched on the terrace.

Poolside

Claim your sunlounger beside the sun-warmed ocean-facing infinity pool that’s directly in line with the horizon.

Packing tips

Let those labels wag, the more exclusive, the better – from the sunglasses right down to your designer sandals.

Pilates, yoga classes and personal trainer sessions are all available upon request.

Children

Children are welcome. It's best suited for teens – snorkelling and paddle-boarding, soccer matches on the beach and table-tennis will keep them entertained.

Worth getting out of bed for

The area around Port Antonio has some of the most stunning natural scenery in all of Jamaica, and the Trident hotel is within an easy drive to breathtaking beaches, waterfalls, caves and lush rainforests. Just 10-minutes from the hotel you’ll find Frenchman’s Cove, voted one of the world’s top five beaches. The beach has soft white sand, shimmering waters and a river with enormous climbing trees and Tarzan swings. Set off on a dragon-hunting excursion to the bottomless Blue Lagoon (of cinematic fame), which local legend says is home to a mythical winged critter. Take a kayak out and spy on the amazing waterfront houses or stop and to take a swim in what is the largest of the island’s spring fed lagoon. Perhaps a lazy float down the gently winding Rio Grande, with a boatman steering your passage as you relax back in your two-person settee admiring Port Antonio’s hidden coves and inlets on the way. Or, cool off with a swim in deep-rock pools and explore caves by boat at Somerset Falls. The hotel can arrange tours with knowledgeable guides for to experience any of these natural wonders.  

Local restaurants

With its destination restaurant/cabaret and a lounge with a serious mixologist tending bar, you could be content to take every meal at the Trident. However, it’s certainly worth venturing out to some experience some local favourites. Dine alfresco on dishes such as spicy lobster pasta, red Thai shrimp curry and grilled mahi mahi with cream sauce and capers. Travel 10-minutes inland to Mille Fleurs restaurant (+1 876 993 7134) for lunch and dinner. Set on a tropical hillside, you can survey Port Antonio’s harbour, the cerulean Caribbean and the lush Blue Mountains from the terrace while snacking on fresh, locally sourced Caribbean fare from a menu that changes daily. Reserve a table in advance for dinner at Dickie’s Best Kept Secret, a quaint cottage stuffed with local crafts, (+1 876 809 6276) hidden away in Frenchman’s Cove. Despite the casual setting and relaxed atmosphere, Chef Dickie (former chef at the Ritz Carlton and other upscale resorts) turns out an elegant, five-course affair using fresh-that-day ingredients. On Red Hassell Road, ex-military man Everold Daley runs authentic Jamaican eatery Soldier Camp (+1 876 451 2095). Bamboo benches and military insignia make strange bedfellows in theis cosy hangout, but food is excellent – opt for the crayfish and bussu (river snail) soup, followed by curried goat or coconut-coated lobster in its shell.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this luxury boutique hotel in Jamaica and unpacked their hand-carved wooden sculptures reggae albums, a full account of their tropical luxury beach break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside/postcard from the Trident hotel in Jamaica…

The hushed Trident hotel – a flash of bright white against the cerulean Caribbean and surrounding verdant hills – is a delightful discovery for those looking to leave Jamaica’s tourist throngs behind. With just 13 spacious, perk-packed villas, it attracts a select group, but never a huge crowd. Which means you’re guaranteed a sunlounger beside the infinity pool, your own stretch of sand on the private beach, a stool at the clubby lounge or a table at the very happening supper club.

Located in Port Antonio, was once the place where notable writers, actors and industry magnates t hibernate during winter. The glittering white sand beaches and sparkling ocean blues were rivalled only by the dazzling list of who’s who – Bette Davis, Rudyard Kipling, William Randolph Hearst – strolling its secluded shores. And while still a draw for some very high-profile guests, no matter who you are, all will be made to feel like VIPs thanks to Trident’s spot-on service and impeccable sense of style.
