Accommodations at The Caves in Jamaica

We know, we know — sleek is in. These days, hotels are all about urban sophistication and designer interiors, even in the islands. But does everything always have to be so perfect? Thankfully the answer is “no” at The Caves, where the intimate resort takes its cues from the idiosyncrasies of Mother Nature. Built into the side of a limestone cliff on the west end of Jamaica, this secluded ten-acre hideaway has an Aveda spa, saltwater pool and just twelve accommodations. Within the suites, cottages and singular four-bedroom villa, you might find a hand-painted glass window or artisan-carved king-size bed. Bright colors abound, as do intimate spaces, such as private dining areas in natural alcoves. Mornings find guests leaping from the cliffs directly into the sea, while evenings are spent sipping Cliffhangers — watermelon juice with ginger and rum — in The Blackwell Rum Bar, tucked into a limestone grotto.
