Located in Discovery Bay where Columbus is said to have first landed in Jamaica, Sea Haven offers entryway into this tropical paradise that so marveled its first explorers. The periwinkle blue exterior, sunshine yellow interior and barrel vaulted blue sky ceiling within the classic structure of the villa help make this an idyllic destination by the sea. On one side of the waterfront is a built-up sandy area and, on the other, cut-stone steps that lead to delightful snorkeling spots and the offshore raft.
The garden consists of just under an acre of tropical shrubs and trees, the trunks of which are spotted with wild orchids. Fruits abound and an exotic allamanda vine shades the entrance. An irresistible half moon pool tiled with ocean blue mosaics and the shade of the gazebo are also favorites. A bird feeding tree frames the view. The chef will be happy to serve you in the dining room, on the verandah or alfresco, by sunlight or candlelight.
The many antiques at Sea Haven include a 200-year-old twig rocker and tortoise-back mahogany dining chairs that came from Admiralty House in Port Royal. The pieces were once used by Admiral Lord Rodney and Horatio Nelson when he was an ensign. The living room opens to the wide sixty foot verandah, a veritable feast of pickled wicker, draping vines and floral colors.
The four stately bedrooms at Sea Haven include en-suite bathroom and air conditioning. A rough hewn chair in the master bedroom once belonged to the captain of a schooner that plied between the Caribbean islands in the seventeenth century. The sea and tropical views are absolutely enchanting.
Less than an hour from the airport, Discovery Bay is a unique horseshoe bay that offers a foray into Jamaicas rich history. At nearby Columbus Park, you can learn about the Spanish colonial era through the artifacts on display. Today, Sea Haven belongs to strip of houses colloquially referred to as either Millionaires Row or Jamaicas Riviera. Lounge on the seaside hammock and let your cares melt away.

We had a most enjoyable holiday, it's an amazing experience.
Elva, Angela and Kamoy couldn't have looked after us any better, the food was just so good and each meal was different.
Elva's pina colada was the best ever.
Sea Haven is such a nice property and the facilities are excellent.
Can't wait to go back
Living in Jamaica you kind of expect the nice beach warm sun etc, nothing prepared me for how relaxing and comfortable the stay was. Ms Elva and the ladies took care of all our needs. I brought my own cook along not knowing what to expect because as a family we are fussy. My cook got a vacation as well. It was just awesomely relaxing. You have to let them take you to the cove its like your own private beach where you can commune with nature. I really rested it was a welcoming worry free vacation. We bought fish from the fishermen that was just heading in with their day's catch and Ms Elva prepared it deliciously. I would definitely recommend here cant wait to be back.
Lovely as always
This was my first trip to Jamaica. Had some issues on arrival with water and power. So first couple of days were not what I was expecting. Luxury Retreats was very responsive and after the power and water came back online, the rest of the vacation was really fun. Great snorkeling for beginners, food was prepared with my allergies in mind which I really appreciated!
we had a great family time
Sea Haven is is located on a beautiful bay with great snorkeling and swimming in very warm water. The veranda of the villa is huge and provides the prefect setting for meals, gatherings and very comfortable furniture for shade and hanging out. Beds are comfortable in spacious bedrooms that are set up in a perfect configuration for privacy. The highlight of the villa is the staff: Elva and Angela work magic in the kitchen and anticipate every need. They order groceries as needed and one does not need to even think about regular household needs! The food was amazing! We tried all of the Jamaican specialties. Every meal had several sides and a desert. We were completely spoiled! Eva's pina colada's are legendary. Settling the grocery bill at the end could not have been easier or more economical. Elva even arranged last minute transport for us when we wanted to switch our schedule around. Other than one brief outing, we felt no need to leave the villa - it was so perfect!
