Known for having been - in the 1950s - the retreat of Ian Fleming, author of James Bond, the GoldenEye has retained all its splendour and is today a mecca for relaxed luxury. We arrive there with our feet on the white sand.

It was its destiny: although lost in Oracabessa, on the north coast of Jamaica, perched on a cliff by the sea, the Goldeneye remains one of the most popular refuges in the <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/ferragamo-spring-summer-24-the-mixing-of-italian-and-caribbean-roots" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Caribbean</a>, attracting the best writers since its opening , musicians and heads of state. Upon arrival, you cross a winding driveway, flanked by palm trees and fruit trees donated by former guests like <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/kate-moss-lila-moss-in-fendi-peekaboo-handbag-campaign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kate Moss</a>, Naomi Campbell, and Jude Law.
Surrounded by secret coves, private <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/travel/seychelles-a-tropical-haven" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beaches</a>, and rainforests, the hotel now includes 45 rooms, including beach huts and villas, and of course Ian Fleming's, which will captivate those seeking natural beauty and privacy . Isolated, it is hidden in a lush garden, and is only accessible by a private road with decades-old intertwined fig trees. It still houses the original desk where he wrote 14 James Bond novels. Through careful preservation, current owner Chris Blackwell has ensured that the author's relaxed look endures, while architect Ann Hodges and interior designer Barbara Hulanicki have imagined the new spaces of the property in harmony.

On the program, a Jamaican restaurant at the Bizot Bar - named after a regular, Jean-Fran&ccedil;ois Bizot (1944-2007), journalist and founder of Radio Nova - which serves breakfast, lunch, and tropical <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/food/savor-the-season-with-the-best-autumn-cocktails" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cocktails</a>. The Gazebo only opens in the evening, and also serves local dishes but with an international touch, and a view of the sunset. The resort is also home to Sha'been, a poolside bar with a games room, and the Bamboo Bar on Button Beach, a rum bar specializing in barbecue.
As for the activities, they are very focused on water, including the discovery of the Oracabessa fish sanctuary, scuba diving, sailboat rides, or even deep-sea fishing expeditions. At FieldSpa , many of the botanical elixirs and essential oils used for treatments are made from traditional Jamaican recipes, and based on the healing powers of the flowers, roots, leaves and herbs grown on GoldenEye's own farm.
