About this apartment rental
The Caribbean Sea, eight acres of preserved coastline, and nothing man-made competing for the view.
Bessa sits on eight acres of seaside and riverfront along Jamaica's quieter north coast, where the Caribbean Sea meets Jacks River and the Oracabessa hills hold back development. The estate was designed around the land, not over it — tropical modern architecture, a conservation-grade footprint, and views that answer to nothing but the water.
This is the one-bedroom studio at Ocean Suites, the first of Bessa's two residential properties. Compact, calm, and facing the Caribbean, it's built for a couple's quiet week — with a fully equipped kitchenette, an en-suite bathroom, and a Queen pull-out sofa in the living room for flexibility when you want it. Come and go as you please, and stay longer than you planned.

Discover Oracabessa
Located on Jamaica's north coast, about an hour's drive east of Montego Bay's airport, Oracabessa offers a quieter, more intimate side of the island. Less crowded than Negril or Montego Bay, it carries more cultural texture than the typical resort strip.
Within easy reach:
GoldenEye — Ian Fleming's former estate, where he wrote every Bond novel, now a Chris Blackwell resort with a public restaurant and beach club
James Bond Beach — public beach named for the writer, approximately 5 minutes
Firefly — Noël Coward's former hilltop home, approximately 15 minutes
Ocho Rios — restaurants, shops, and Dunn's River Falls, approximately 20 minutes
Nine Mile — Bob Marley's birthplace and mausoleum, approximately 45 minutes
Blue Mountains — coffee plantation tours, approximately 90 minutes
Sangster International Airport (MBJ) — approximately 1 hour 15 minutes by car
Ian Fleming International Airport (OCJ) — approximately 10 minutes away (AA flights and small private aircraft)
Who This Studio Is For
This studio is especially well suited for:
Couples looking for a quiet week facing the sea
Honeymoon and anniversary stays
Solo travelers who want space to read, write, or do nothing at all
Longer stays where having a kitchenette and in-villa laundry makes a difference
Travelers who want beachfront access without a resort setting
Anyone drawn to conservation-minded architecture and an unbuilt horizon
A better fit for travelers seeking a private residence than a traditional all-inclusive resort experience.

Your Own Space at Bessa
The property is run as one part residential development, one part hospitality. Guests staying at Ocean Suites get the privacy of a residence with the support of a managed property — not a resort experience, but not a transactional rental either.
Mornings open onto the water, the beach is a short walk down through the gardens, and a private chef or in-villa massage is there whenever you'd rather not think about the details.
Reserve the Ocean View Studio and take Oracabessa at your own pace.
