FIELDSPA AT GOLDENEYE WINNER OF JAMAICA'S BEST RESORT SPA 2017 AT THE WORLD SPA AWARDS 2017 The trees. The plants. The water. The warmth of the wood. The cool, smooth surface of stone. Guests find the natural vibe at the FieldSpa— located in a coage on the edge of the GoldenEye Lagoon—intensely restorative. It could be the cozy seing of our treatment rooms, nestled in the bush and open-to-the-air. It could be the earthy scent of spices, hanging in the air. We think it’s because the FieldSpa is a natural fit with its environment— and that’s what imparts a deep sense of calm. Massage, meditation, salt scrubs, herbal wraps and facials are among the treatments we’re known for. Many of the botanical elixirs and essential oils we use are made at the FieldSpa, drawing on traditional Jamaican recipes and the healing powers of flowers, roots, leaves and herbs grown at our farm, Pantrepant. Please, have a look at our menu of treatments. We’re happy to suggest which can best help you recharge— physically and emotionally.

CINNAMON HILL Cinnamon Hill offers a quintessential golf experience while protecting a rich cultural and natural environment. From Hank Smedley’s original 1969 design to von Hagge and Baril’s brilliant 2001 redesign, this seing is preserved for future generations. A few highlights: • On the second tee: your club swings toward historic Rose Hall Great House. • Near the fourth tee-box: a centuries-old burial plot for the family of English poet Elizabeth Barre Browning. • Winding through the course: an ancient aqueduct used to grind sugar cane in the plantation era. • Near the 15th green: a gentle waterfall, site of an exciting scene in the James Bond movie Live and Let Die. • Occupying majestic preeminence: Cinnamon Hill Great House, the second home of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash for 30 years. Course designers von Hagge and Rick Baril designed Cinnamon Hill with elevations that give the sense of both coastal and tropical inland golf. At Cinnamon Hill you’ll experience the best of Jamaica golf — the cool ocean spray on your cheeks as you pu on seaside greens and wind whistling through the pines as you tee-off on the 17th hole, 350 feet above the turquoise Caribbean sea. This is a test you will enjoy, enchanting panoramas framing your every shot. To get the most out of this unique experience, talk to our caddies. They are listed among “The Best In The World” by Golfer magazine, and they will be equally happy to discuss Annee Palmer or Arnold Palmer and can read greens beer than any pro. Keith Stein brings to Rose Hall golf close to three decades of experience in the golf industry with the last 21 years being spent in Jamaica. We are proud to expand his portfolio beyond the White Witch Golf Course as he takes the helm of Cinnamon Hill Golf Course. worldgolfawards.com/award/jamaica-best-golf-course/2017 www.roundhill.com

ISLE RESORTS
SANDALS RESORTS INSPIRES BRIDES AND GROOMS WITH ITS DESTINATION WEDDING EXPERIENCE FROM AISLE TO ISLE Sandals Resorts International (SRI), parent company of the Caribbean’s leading luxury all-inclusive brands: Sandals Resorts, for adult couples and Beaches Resorts, for everyone, announces the launch of Aisle to Isle, a new destination wedding experience. According to SRI Director of Romance Marsha Ann Brown, Aisle to Isle was designed in response to a proprietary study by the company that revealed that millennial brides and grooms seek inspiration and information above all else when planning their wedding celebration. Featuring eight, all new décor inspirations, enhanced options for food and beverage and new ceremony and reception venues, Aisle to Isle was created to give brides endless choice.
Sandals
“No bride wants a replica of another couples’ wedding day festivities. The ability to customize every facet of the experience, so that it truly reflects the unique personality of the individual couple and their style is paramount,” says Brown. “Aisle to Isle gives brides what they want most – inspiring ideas and the information and professional expertise they need to create a celebration that is singularly theirs.”

BEAUTY MATTERS: INSPIRED AND INSTA-WORTHY DESIGN For brides, “the aesthetic is nearly everything,” says Brown. To this end, SRI has created eight new inspirations influenced by the tropics, gardens, romance, passion, the islands, sophistication, nature and sand and sea. Each
offers creative suggestions for brides and grooms to plan their dream wedding in paradise from tabletop, floral accompaniment and seing, to runners, chair selection, altar and more. Complementing the design inspirations are enhanced food and beverage options including themed bar design, custom cocktails and

expanded menu selections. From the dramatic flower-topped candelabras of White Romance to Love Is in Bloom’s insta-worthy floral walls to the shabby-chic Caribbean Breeze featuring driwood spheres and white lanterns, there is a style for every personality and whim. “There’s a misconception that destination weddings are cookie-cuer experiences,” says Brown. “But at
Sandals and Beaches, that’s simply not the case. Our inspirations create an amazing creative spark for brides and grooms to envision their own perfect celebration – from simple and elegant to playful and extravagant; the options are truly limitless. And as we say, weddings should be ‘inspired by love, created by you.’”

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Now, the perfect details will match the perfect seing. Along with the everpopular beach, garden and gazebo locations, exciting new ceremony and reception venues will be available as part of the Aisle to Isle launch, including offsite locations for exclusive photo shoots; a dedicated, newly renovated chapel at Sandals Montego Bay; the first-ever over-the-water chapels in the Caribbean, located in Saint Lucia and Jamaica; and the chance to elevate a beach or garden wedding with a twilight-timed nuptial and unity sand ceremony.
DESTINATION WEDDINGS TURN ONE SPECIAL DAY INTO MULTIPLE DAYS OF MEMORIES “Many of our brides report they are choosing destination weddings because they turn a traditional five-hour celebration to a days’ long affair. More time with family and friends is important to these couples,” says Brown. Sandals is making planning this extended experience easier, offering couples their own “wedding entourage,” a team of experts from planning to execution who will assist with resort selection, venue scheduling, on-site logistics and the numerous details throughout the wedding stay and honeymoon. This team will also have suggestions for welcome celebrations, spa days, groomsmen outings and other activities; and the more guests that join the celebration with booked rooms, the more bells and whistles – tangible rewards – couples will earn. For example, couples that have 12 booked guest rooms can choose from perks such as $1,000 towards a private catamaran cruise, a complimentary room upgrade a two-minute wedding trailer video, and more.

Regularly visited by royalty and dignitaries over its 60-year history, it is truly one of the most legendary and cherished destinations—one meant for your bucket list, as far as unforgeable vacations go. Half Moon has justly earned a reputation as one of the finest resort hotels in the world. Located in the parish of St James on the north coast of Jamaica, Half Moon sits amidst a private estate of 400 acres.
Here you will discover beautifully landscaped gardens, a nature reserve that is a haven for wildlife, 197 rooms and suites scaered amongst white-rendered coages and 31 capacious Villas, all fronted by two miles of private beach, one of the loveliest in Jamaica.

Of particular note are the Oceanfront Premium Villas which stand directly facing the ocean with sweeping lawns that lead to the waters edge. Ranging from four, five, six or seven en suite bedrooms, each Villa is staffed with a butler, cook and housekeeper.

For an unforgeable treatment, guests may choose the overwater spa bungalows which open on three sides allowing the soothing rhythms of the waves and breeze to calm the senses. Families, wedding parties or groups may prefer the Fern Tree Coage which offers separate living and spa treatment areas. The Fern Tree Spa also houses a relaxation lounge, yoga pavilion, sauna, steam rooms and a meditation labyrinth. A short stroll will lead guests to the nearby Fern Tree Fitness Centre, Spinning Studio and Fern Tree Tennis Courts. Upon arriving for all Signature Treatments, guests are welcomed with a cup of traditional Jamaican bush tea while receiving a foot bath infused with calming lavender water or rejuvenating nutmeg oil.

Adam Stewart As the dynamic Deputy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sandals Resorts International, the world's leading resort company, and The ATL Group, Jamaica's longest standing automotive and appliance distributors with recently expanded region-wide operations, Adam Stewart is one of the most successful and admired entrepreneurs of our time. Despite being one of the most prominent young businessmen in the world, Stewart remains a proud Jamaican and citizen of the Caribbean dedicating much of his time to elevating the region he calls home.
In 2009, Stewart founded the Sandals Foundation with the aim of uniting the region under one common goal: to lift its people through education and protect its delicate ecosystem. The Sandals Foundation harnesses the resources, talents, partnerships and awareness behind the Sandals Resorts brand to tackle a myriad of issues affecting the Caribbean. In 2013, Stewart was named as an Ambassador of the Caribbean-SickKids Paediatric Cancer and Blood Disorder Project. The not-for-profit collaboration between Canada's renowned Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and various institutions across six Caribbean islands works to provide the best possible management for paediatric cancer and to improve outcomes for children affected by cancers and serious blood disorders in the region.

MEDIA INFLUENCERS Underlining his reputation as a staunch advocate of education, Stewart established an internationally-accredited private sector educational institute, the Sandals Corporate University/ ATL Academy of Excellence. Launched in early 2012, the Sandals Corporate University pushes the boundaries of distance learning in the Caribbean with over 4,100 team members enrolling in the University to date, and the resorts themselves reaching new levels of excellence.
In 2016, Stewart received the Order of Distinction (Commander Class) for outstanding contribution to tourism and the hotel industry. The Order of Distinction is a national honour conferred by the Government of Jamaica upon citizens who render outstanding and important services to the country. Additionally, he was appointed a member of Jamaica’s Economic Growth Council and a member of the Board of Directors of the Port Authority of Jamaica by Prime Minister, The Most Honourable Andrew Holness. Within the local community, Stewart continues to serve as ambassador to the University of the West Indies, helping to promote higher education in Western Jamaica and throughout the island and region at large.

With its lagoon's edge coî…&#x;age and open-to-the air treatment rooms, our spa without walls is a sanctuary for massage, salt scrubs, skin
brightening facials, herbal wraps, and energy work. So built into the natural landscape, guests can kayak or swim through the lagoon to arrive at the spa. In room treatments are also available. The FieldSpa shares an approach to living that enlivens with energy, happiness, and health.

Elixirs, tonics, and essential oils are infused with the healing owers and aromatic herbs grown at Pantrepant, our 2,500 acre family farm, using a Bush to Body approach that shuns pampering believing instead that the highest calling of spa is found in a re-discovery of the beauty of nature and the simplicity of life.

Each coage exudes its own charm and personality—textured by the vivid historic and local details of our signature aesthetic—a luxurious simplicity that is special to the pure mountain air of Strawberry Hill Jamaica Luxury Hotel.

GoLF AT TrYALL Golf is as much a part of The Tryall Club as the magnificent villas and the ocean views. The course is integral to the Club’s fabric, twisting and winding through the estate as it makes it way down to the coastline. rated as one of the Caribbean’s finest, our course is both challenging and beautiful with a fascinating heritage. It didn’t take long for Tryall’s founders to start building a golf course. Just three years aer opening the club they employed celebrated course designer ralph plummer to create a course that would work with the estate’s unique topography. plummer’s design cleverly blends the 17th century sugar plantation’s layout with the coastline and the landscape’s natural features. Today, Tryall offers everything you could want from a 21st century course.
