Silent Waters

Welcome to Silent Waters, one of the most glamorous 8 bedroom private villas in the Caribbean. It is distinguished by world-class architecture and design, breathtaking location, and exquisite accommodations and service.

Located in the gated community of Great River Private on one of the highest mountaintops overlooking Montego Bay and the Caribbean Sea, the site consists of 18 acres. Twelve buildings, helicopter pad and tennis court occupy four acres.

The paved entrance road is elegantly landscaped with stately Royal Palms. Black and gold wrought iron gates from Thailand mark the entrance to the property. Hand-carved teak doors from Bali lead to multiple interior areas in textures of Travertine marble, Brazilian granite, cedar and teak. Colourful gardens are accented with ancient carved Balinese, Burmese, Thai and Chinese statuary. Serene lily ponds and turquoise pools separate various living spaces within the compound. There is no road access to the densely-wooded property above Silent Waters. Privacy is assured. Sophisticated electronic security and video monitors ensure that only invited parties may enter the compound.

The hub of the compound is the 900-square-foot Main Pavilion. 100 feet of sliding glass doors disappear into pocket walls to open the central Pavilion to a breathtaking panorama of sea, sky and mountains. The Pavilion opens to a marble terrace, infinity-edge swimming pool and sunning area overlooking the Caribbean Sea and Montego Bay.

A few steps across the terrace are the breakfast gazebo, dining room and open-air bar with television, DVD and cushioned seating for 20. An 80’ reflection pool wraps around the alfresco breakfast gazebo and dining pavilion. A garden path leads up the mountain to the very private owner’s villa, which accommodates two more guests.

Silent Waters - Dining and Entertaining
The Head Chef is one of Silent Waters’ greatest prizes. From his state‐of‐the‐art commercial kitchen and grill, he creates a repertoire of artistically presented Continental, Nouveau and Caribbean cuisine. The primary dining area can be glass-enclosed or open. Reached by stone stepping pods, the dining pavilion is located in a wrap‐around reflecting pool and has a 330‐degree view of Montego Bay and the sea as well as the beautiful grounds. The dining table is a rare rainbow-coloured 15‐foot slab of Brazilian granite.
For more casual dining, the Gazebo (also in the reflecting pool) commands a 360‐degree view and can accommodate nine guests for seated meals.
A spacious bar and entertainment area around the pool enable hosting of an intimate cocktail party ... seated dinner for 50 guests ... or a gala al fresco cocktail party for 100 guests or more. Event costs vary depending on menu and guest count.
