Celebrate Bond and Follow in the Footsteps of Ian Fleming at GoldenEye

To celebrate the only property that can lay claim to the creation of, and inspiration behind the James Bond Series, GoldenEye Hotel & Resort has created a package around The Fleming Villa, where the novelist penned all 14 Bond novels. Following in the Footsteps of Fleming enables Bond aficionados and adventure seekers to explore Jamaica through Fleming's eyes, immersing themselves in the destination where he gained his inspiration for the Bond characters, plots and locations.

Guests will stay in The Fleming Villa, the original house designed by Fleming and renovated by current owner Chris Blackwell (Island Records founder) in 2014. Housing 10 guests over 5 bedrooms, the villa offers a private beach, pool and gardens. A personal chef will prepare all meals to order and a team of villa staff, including a butler and housekeeper, are on hand to meet daily requests. The thoughtful renovation features the three original bedrooms and Fleming's original desk which are complemented by a state-of-the-art media suite and two stunning beach cottages within The Fleming Villa grounds.

GOLDENEYE Where Bond was Born; Ian Fleming's Jamaica

The ‘Following in the Footsteps of Fleming' Package was launched in celebration of the book GOLDENEYE Where Bond was Born; Ian Fleming's Jamaica by critically-acclaimed author Matthew Parker – a beautifully written, thoroughly researched and original account of a comparatively neglected but crucially important part of Ian Fleming's life and work. The book explores the Jamaica that Fleming discovered and how it inspired him, revealing why so much of Bond leads back to the island and how its influence infuses the thrilling novels that Fleming is so revered for.
