Just reopened with a refreshed and polished look, The Trident Hotel in Port Antonio, Jamaica, features 13 elegant beachfront villas that open onto private terraces and pools. Each villa displays original artwork and offers uninterrupted ocean views, creating a serene setting for a luxurious island escape. The property’s Explorer’s Lounge provides a relaxed spot to enjoy sea breezes, a selection of books and a thoughtfully curated art collection.
Guests can plan special events and weddings at the distinctive Trident Castle, an intimate event space originally created for Baroness Elizabeth Siglindy Stephan von Thyssen. The castle’s oceanfront position and unique architecture make it an attractive choice for memorable ceremonies and private gatherings.
Outdoor activities are centered on the water: snorkeling along vibrant reefs, boat excursions, kayaking and visits to the nearby Blue Lagoon are popular options. For a more leisurely adventure, rafting on the Rio Grande River offers a peaceful way to take in Jamaica’s lush scenery.
Dining at the resort spans a range of experiences. Mike’s Supper Club and Cabaret Lounge pairs Japanese-Jamaican flavors in inventive dishes, while The Veranda serves casual beachside fare in a relaxed atmosphere. Time Bar is the place to watch the sunset with expertly crafted cocktails; there, New York mixologist Shigefumi “Shige” Kabashima blends classic aperitifs and creative infusions that complement the island setting.
In the nearby village, visitors can explore iconic local rum shacks to taste authentic Jamaican rum and sample regional specialties. Back at the resort, attentive service and seaside ambiance combine to create a peaceful retreat ideal for couples, families or small groups seeking a blend of adventure, culture and refined relaxation.
