With the colourful coastal town of Port Antonio increasingly gaining attention amongst travellers to Jamaica, a local luxe property, the Trident Hotel, has named a representative to help it increase visibility and handle trade relations in the critical Canadian market.

Canlink Travel earns the honours, with Trident making it an even dozen high-end clients in the Caribbean, and third in Jamaica, for Newmarket, Ont.-based duo Elaine and Brent Carnegie.

A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the historic Trident is situated along Jamaica’s lush northeast coast, about 100 km from Kingston (and Manley International) in an area dubbed the “Jamaican Riviera” for its natural glamour and rich history.

Set directly on the Caribbean Sea, the all-villa property offers an unparalleled island experience with luxurious beachfront units, each with spectacular views, private terraces, and pools. Guests will find lush, manicured grounds, secluded and private beach access, multiple swimming pools, and cozy sitting areas.

Also available are activities such snorkeling, boat cruising and kayak adventures, plus a beautiful private beach.

Portland Parish’s 80-km shoreline features some of the world’s most stunning beaches, waterfalls, caves, and rainforests, and key attractions in the area include the iconic Blue Lagoon, Rio Grande River rafting, Errol Flynn Marina, Musgrave Market in Port Antonio, and various, vibrant rum shacks in town.

Accommodations

Guests can choose from 13 luxurious oceanfront villas – seductive, cloistered retreats that blend modernist design with an inspired take on ‘50s- and ’60s-era artwork and décor. Residential in feel, the spacious, airy interiors flow organically between bedroom, bathroom, and living areas, while private terraces with pools complete an environment of luxurious living.

Each villa is appointed with hand-selected furnishings, accent pieces and original artwork complemented by a contemporary tropical aesthetic. An elegant simplicity and harmonized balance are designed to make the villas a magnificent home away from home.

Dining & drinks

Vibrant Mike’s Supper Club acts as a cabaret lounge with a private speakeasy vibe and unique atmosphere that captures the spirit of the ‘High Life’ Calypso Bop era while giving a generous nod to Harlem’s cultural and musical renaissance. Soaring ceilings and plush decor, highlighted by the crowing gem – a Ferrari red 1917 Steinway baby grand piano – provide an ideal gathering place for cocktails, dining, socializing, and musical entertainment. The in-house dining menu is a unique fusion of Jamaican and International with bold, inventive global accents.

Hotel guests may also sample the Veranda, offering luxury indoor/outdoor dining overlooking the resort’s white sandy beach, while Sonya’s Kitchen invites guests to live cooking experiences.

Guests may also arrange a private dining experience or call on 24-hour room service.

And when the sun sets, the Time Bar serves up fine drinks, from modern blends and exotic creations to classic mixtures and a roster of some of Jamaica’s finest Cuban rums.

Spa

For those in need of a little relaxation, the Trident Spa is rooted in the tradition of holistic and philosophic practices and merges an array of techniques from around the globe to create a singular blend of Caribbean treatments. Massages can be taken outdoors overlooking the ocean.
