Contemporary Classic & Lively

Geejam has always made the most of its music-business connections, for good reason — without reggae, Jamaica just wouldn’t be the same, and the hotel might never have existed at all. This place was actually a recording studio first, where the likes of Gorillaz and Björk went away to focus on their music. It seems the beachside surroundings and the sunny contemporary interiors were a great improvement over the usual dank and darkened studio control room, and the addition of some stylish on-site lodgings turned out to be a move that appealed equally to the non-musician general public.

Any hotel in the Caribbean that’s worth staying at had better be small — even after a recent expansion, adding twelve new rooms to its existing seven cabins and villas, this one fits the bill. And for all the place’s hipster cachet, its atmosphere has remained remarkably low-key; it’s closer to some of Jamaica’s finest beaches than it is to the nightlife in Port Antonio, ten minutes away. There’s some small chance it’ll be a bit stressful for a musician on holiday, being that close to the workplace — but for anyone else, a thoroughly effective escape.

How to get there:
The main international airport is Norman Manley in Kingston. Guests can connect to a fifteen-minute private flight via plane over the Blue Mountains to a local airstrip, known as Ken Jones. Geejam is approximately 30 mins. drive from Ken Jones. Alternatively, a private helicopter can also be chartered directly to and from the airport, and for those who are a little squeamish with small planes, Geejam is currently a two-hour drive from Kingston.

I like to be able to leave a resort and head to a local bar, and Geejam is not really suited for that if you're not driving, but if you like being resort-bound it's nice to be able to switch to being up in the trees and in the water (this is my fave part of the island - so lush). The vibes are a bit uptight and unJamaican to me, but you will probably see a celeb or two... So I guess it evens out. Pro tip: Make friends with the staff for maximum vibes.

Geejam was one of the best travel experiences we have ever had. The rooms were INCREDIBLE, the staff - friendly, knowledgeable and kind, the VIBE was unmatched!!! They set us up with incredible activities, took care of us each day by remembering our drink orders, asking us about our time, giving recommendations, etc. The rooms were spotless and well maintained. The other guests were also wonderful - the hotel attracts a very particular type of guest that is there for a good time and no drama! Our only regret is that the music studio was under construction, so we weren't able to check it out - but all the more reason to come back! I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our time here.
