Villa Lido

Welcome to Villa Lido, a startlingly beautiful contemporary 5-bedroom beach home at Old Fort Bay in Jamaica. Sitting on beachfront land, this amazing villa was designed to incorporate family heirlooms combined with a chic, modern vibe. It is a refuge of comfort, peace and tasteful living on one of the paradisiac beaches of the area. Definitely, the right place to relax and unwind during a well-deserved family vacation or getaway with friends.

On arrival, Villa Lido is a sight for sore eyes. With its unique views over the bay and the deep blue Caribbean sea beyond, its cool but elegant, modern interiors invite you in. The floor-to-ceiling window walls and doors make the concept of indoor/outdoor living flawless. This setup also allows for the majestic views of the outdoors to become an integral part of the villa’s décor. Matched with the summery light colours of the textiles and the natural textures and materials of its interior and furnishings, Villa Lido is a beautifully designed, multi-faceted home that encompasses comfort and luxury finishes without glitches.

The formal living space meshes seamlessly with the comfortable sofas in the media area on one side and the informal breakfast/bar area on the other. All doors lead to oversized verandahs that house dining and seating arrangements that are ample and inviting. All these socializing options call for loads of fun times together. Whether enjoying a good catch-up with friends while sipping on cooling cocktails, or while sampling the best meal prepared by the in-house chef, or by the designated cook in the group, there is no doubt that Villa Lido will not disappoint.

Villa Lido is set on a well-manicured piece of land and surrounded by a lush garden perfectly matched with the beautiful white sandy beach of Old Fort Bay. Much like the rest of the property, the outdoors also offer many opportunities for a social life. The pool-side pavilion is the perfect spot for enjoying long lazy lunches and gives welcome shade in the heat of day. Sun loungers, both on the deck and on the Baja ledge or the brightly colored bean bags chairs on the lawn, invite relaxation while acquiring the much desired Caribbean tan. The company of a good book is also recommended while spending time in these areas.

If lazy beach life is your aim for this vacation time, the white sandy beach is just five steps down from the lawn of your private garden. If you are more of the sporty type, a game of tennis, pickleball or soccer during the cooler part of the day is also on the “menu”, as well as kayaks and snorkelling equipment. Never a dull moment to be had at Villa Lido.

Villa Lido also houses a well-equipped gym which is situated in the large upstairs hall. It features a Peloton bike, Precor EFX Elliptical, dumbbell free weights and bench, TRX, yoga mats and blocks, stability ball, and multi-purpose cable tower with a pull-up bar. Everything you need to get those muscles going or relaxing.

A saying goes, “all is well that ends well”… what ending to the day is better than toasting marshmallows around the fire pit in the open air on a lazy summer evening? Put it on your to-do list when staying at Villa Lido!

One of the most important things while on vacation, we find, is recharging a tired body and mind so that they are ready for another full year of adventures once the vacation is over. Part of this process is getting some good sleep and personal time in your own inner sanctum. There are five of these at Villa Lido.
