Kanopi House - Port Antonio, Jamaica, Caribbean

Rooms & Suites: 5

Where an elegant, earth conscious oasis of chic 'tree houses' is linked by a winding pathway sliced through a sun dappled rainforest overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

A tropical jungle of vine-drenched, 100-foot Banyan trees; soaring chartreuse bamboo and flowering magenta ginger lily descending into a secluded, white sand cove. A private shoreline that wraps around a blue lagoon, ringed by an untouched corral reef; purple manta rays gliding through clouds of colorful fish in a warm turquoise sea, glazed in a layer of cool from the mountain stream that flows into, and over, it. Kanopi House was conceived and designed by the Hew Family, current proprietors of Kamalame Cay, a private island resort in the Bahamas.

Set in Portland, one of Jamaica’s most luscious parishes; this private, six-acre retreat is found just outside charming Port Antonio, the seaside town that anchors the ‘Jamaican Riviera’. A tropical paradise of crystal waters, postcard beaches, lagoons and verdant greenery. Jamaica’s North East coast has, for decades, been home to the island’s beau monde while drawing the more sophisticated, international traveler. Long admired among the cognoscenti; Noel Coward, Ian Flemming, and Errol Flynn are among the many stylish expats who have kept homes along this dazzling shoreline. One that’s legendary beauty and untouched interior terrain has seen it selected as the backdrop for numerous films including Cocktail and Club Paradise.
