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 coage on the edge of the GoldenEye Lagoon—intensely restorative. It could be the cozy seing 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 seing 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 beer 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.”

Sandals

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 seing, to runners, chair selection, altar and more.

Complementing the design inspirations are enhanced food and beverage options including themed bar design, custom cocktails and

Beaches

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 driwood spheres and white lanterns, there is a style for every personality and whim. “There’s a misconception that destination weddings are cookie-cuer 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 seing. 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.

VALUE, EASE AND EXPERTISE ALLEVIATE WEDDING PLANNING STRESS “No maer their budget, nearly all brides and grooms we surveyed reported the importance of convenience and value in alleviating stress associated with wedding planning decisions,” says Brown. All weddings at Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts, whether five guests or 50, include a one-hour cocktail reception, bride and groom signature cocktail, a pre-travel surprise gi, the ‘Wedding Entourage’ of expert planners, white Chivari chairs, manicure, 30-minute foot

As an incentive to indulge in every aspect of the Luxury Included offerings at Sandals and Beaches, wedding couples are also given additional incentives for extending their time in paradise Couples who stay six nights or longer, receive gi credits valued at $1,500; and any couple staying three or more nights may opt for a Mokara orchidinspired free wedding design that includes Mokara bouquet, boutonniere and two-tiered cake with Mokara orchid topper.

CAPTURING THE EXPERIENCE Documenting a wedding in paradise begins with the initial communication to a couple’s guests.

From destination- inspired wedding websites with RSVP capabilities, to customizable stationary, Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts Weddings are facilitating every step of the wedding from the very beginning. Capturing the experience continues with nothing short of jaw-dropping photography and video.

HALF

MOON The jewel of the Caribbean, Half Moon has undoubtedly earned its reputation as one of the most prestigious resorts in the world. 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 unforgeable 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 scaered amongst white-rendered coages and 31 capacious Villas, all fronted by two miles of private beach, one of the loveliest in Jamaica. In true grand resort style, Half Moon offers an eclectic range of facilities such as four fine-dining restaurants, an 18 hole championship golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., an Equestrian Centre , thirteen tennis courts, simply unique children’s facilities and a multitude of water and land based sports that culminate in a private Dolphin Lagoon.

VILLAS Enjoying all the facilities of the hotel, the Villas at Half Moon are a perfect choice for families, friends or groups who seek privacy and seclusion in the ambiance of a private home for an experience that is quite simply unforgeable.

WEST COTTAGES Facing the perfect crescent of Sunset Beach, the ten whitewashed West Coages are where Half Moon began in 1954. Uniquely individual both in terms of architecture, internal layout and style, the coages encapsulate Jamaican lifestyle at its finest. For those guests who seek a sybaritic family retreat or cosseting cocoon in which to spend time together, we offer the exclusivity of booking an entire coage.

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. These exceptional staff members are there and on hand to create an experience of a lifetime and ensure that you relax in an atmosphere that is truly home away from home.

Of particular note are the gardens which surround the spa. Here you will find many fruit trees such as Otaheiti Apple, June Plum, Sour Sop, Sweet Sop, Grapefruit and Naseberry. In between are planted pineapple, aloe, ginger, pimento, rosemary, sage and lavender. All are incorporated into many of the treatment preparations.

Polished hardwood floors, grand entryways and the subtle hint of lemongrass lead to the spa treatment rooms, set amidst lush tropical gardens allowing guests the option of having the doors closed or open to their own private garden terrace. For an unforgeable 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 Coage 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.

@adamstewart @AdamStewart

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.

FIELDSPA AT GOLDENEYE

To spend time in our FieldSpa is to exist in a more mindful and peaceful tempo, a cadence that allows us to breathe more deeply, live more slowly and more fully when returning to work and home.

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.

LUXURY SPAS

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.

The Intention is to integrate each guest into a comprehensive program rich with intuition, fun, and activity – yet fully connected to GoldenEye, the Jamaican home of Ian Fleming, author of James Bond, and the place Fleming called: “The Healthiest Life I could Live.” www.goldeneye.com/spa/

ROOMS As reggae artist Burning Spear sings, “It is good to live in the hills.” A stay in our coages will make you feel more alive than ever. Each coage 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.

Jamaican architect, Ann Hodges, created our PostPlantation interpretation of classic Colonial style.

She has conjured up inviting spaces paerned with imagination on traditional techniques. Be it ample

and expansive, or compact and bijou, each individual coage and villa is enchanting.

Our charming mountaintop village, rooted in the communities of nearby villages such as Industry and Redlight, is made up of white, wood-framed coages and villas of varying sizes. Winding footpaths curve around the mountainside, uniting the coages while maintaining privacy within the hills’ flanks. Each coage surrounds you with nature’s spectacular views and lush gardens.

Years of loving cultivation have expanded Strawberry Hill’s variety of flora.
