Strawberry Hill is a mountain spa hideaway in Jamaica's Blue Mountain range. This is the place to go if you want to indulge in spa treatments and relax in a calm mountain setting. Guests enjoy great mountain views, a negative-edge pool, gardens and a full-service Aveda Concept Spa. Spa treatments to try on your Caribbean spa trip include massage, facials, body care, hydrotherapy and an exclusive Aveda treatment - the Himalayan Body Treatment. Set on 26 acres, the 12 cottages feature unique 19th century architecture with French doors and private verandahs for enjoying the view.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the restaurant which offers "new Jamaican cuisine." If you prefer a stricter diet, spa entrees are available on the menu. The spa retreat is located 3,100 feet above sea level, approximately one hour from Kingston Harbor. Mountain hiking and mountain biking trails of varying difficulty levels surround the property. Guests can explore the mountain trails of the Blue Mountain range on foot or on a mountain bike, available from the resort. Nearby tours include a visit to the Old Tavern Blue Mountain Coffee Estate with a picnic lunch. Jamaica's beaches can be reached by car. To get a full flavor of Jamaica, combine your stay at this hotel with a stay at one of the other Island Outpost properties located on the sea. The Caves is a unique resort set on top of volcanic rock near Negril on the western tip of Jamaica. Alternatively, you could visit Jake's on the south coast. Helicopter transfers can be arranged between the properties.
