Following Seas is a marvelous private villa with a top rating of Premier.  It is tastefully renovated with thoughtful comforts, amenities, and stylish new bathrooms throughout. Its casual elegance promotes an easy lifestyle supported by dedicated staff members. In classic Jamaican architecture, all rooms open wide to the outside for bona fide tropical living. The amazing view of the sea is ever-present, breathtaking, and hypnotic.

Perched atop one of the highest points on the historic Tryall Club on Jamaica's beautiful north coast, Following Seas' seven manicured acres offer visitors 180-degree panoramic views of the deep blue Caribbean, as well as the lush blue-green mountains of the western Jamaican landscape. The views are truly mesmerizing.

The Main House offers four luxurious bedroom suites which feature floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors that roll back so your room feels like part of the magnificent outdoors. A detached Guest Cottage situated a convenient distance from the main house is a wonderful hideaway, featuring two bedrooms with private terraces and oversized windows open to the same magnificent views and a small pool overlooking the sea.

Majestic Royal Palms line the paved entrance lane. A dramatic spiral staircase leads to the large central Great Room which opens to everyone’s favorite gathering place, the covered sitting and dining verandah. Just beyond the verandah are the long, sparkling pool and an endless view of the sea.

Dining can be on the main verandah overlooking the pool, in the folly behind the villa built out of natural rock, or on the Mountain view deck overlooking the beautiful lush green hills of Hanover.

Acres of outdoor space includes shady lawns, colorful gardens, fruit orchards, large covered terraces overlooking the infinity edge swimming pool (main house) plus a private plunge pool (guest cottage) and a 10-person outdoor Jacuzzi, and a massage terrace.

Fitness enthusiasts will also enjoy the private gym on-site. Along with a bench and free weight system, the gym features Cybex equipment including an elliptical, treadmill, and recumbent bicycle.

A separate Media cottage, with a deck facing the Western coastline sunsets, offers prime seating before an 80" widescreen TV for movie nights and special viewings. A full commercial kitchen, bar, and large outdoor covered verandah, pool deck, bar terrace, and spa terrace combine to make Following Seas the perfect destination.
