Featuring the 1 bedroom Wilks Bay beachfont Cottage. Wilks at Wilks Bay is a collection of luxury 1, 2 and 3 bedroom villas situated on a small estate at the heart of the San San resort area which stretches from Gee Jam Hotel in the west to Blue Lagoon in the east.
It is located on the waterfront between Frenchman’s Cove Hotel (one of Conde Nast’s 16 best beaches worldwide) and San San Bay with its Monkey Island.
At Wilks the lawns and beautiful gardens of bananas, breadfruit, avocado and other tropical fruit trees and flowering shrubs slope gently down to the ocean.
The estate has a large freeform pool and sundeck next to its own private beach with a jetty leading into the ocean and coral reef. There are kayaks and the cove is perfect for swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving. The waterfront villas at Wilks have been newly restored and echo the traditional San San style made popular in the 1950’s and 60’s when the international jet set first came to Port Antonio seeking a private hideaway of barefoot luxury.
The San San and Blue Lagoon Villas, especially those sitting at the water’s edge, are among the most photographed houses in the Caribbean and have been included in many movies and magazines.
All the villas at Wilks have ocean and garden views, and the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and air-conditioning.
Your attentive, yet discrete staff will tend to your every need, or leave you to be alone, as you wish. They can tell you what there is to do in the area and will help you arrange it. They can accompany you, for example, into the local market to buy fruits or craftwork.
Meals can be served in your villa, on your private outdoor patio or anywhere else on the estate – your staff will set up your table under the trees, on the beach, on the jetty - anywhere you please.
Across the road from Wilks is the San San Tropez Hotel and Italian restaurant.
Entry to Frenchman’s Cove and San San beaches is free to Wilks’ guests.
