Frankfort on the Beach

Description

Sturdy beams, stone lintels and gun-slot windows in impenetrable walls assured the survival of this historic seafront bastion. After a half-million dollar renovation, they now protect cool and supremely contemporary interiors, with Italian Travertine floors, chic furnishings in crisp white fabrics, modern bathrooms and glass-walled showers. The inimitable Frankfort, whose leather-bound guestbook includes Queen Mary, Winston Churchill, Henry Kissinger and Noel Coward among its distinguished former guests, is now a superb six bedroom retreat.

Floor to ceiling bookcases divide the ground floor into an elegant dining space and a laid back living room, where a piano is a nod to the past. The adjoining eighty foot veranda is the gathering point for sundowners and al fresco dining. An eight- person Jacuzzi, sea kayaks and snorkelling gear complement the wonderful swimming waters, and a team of staff ensure everything runs smoothly, from hors d’oeuvres and cocktails to bonfire parties on the beach. Privately secluded, this beguiling villa is just a ten minute drive from Ocho Rios.
