To get to Jamaica's paradisiacal GoldenEye, one must approach from Oracabessa Bay through a dense tropical garden. The plantation has been added to by visitors since 1956, when British Prime Minister Anthony Eden and his wife Clarissa inaugurated the custom during a stay with author and then-owner of the house Ian Fleming. Since Island Records founder Chris Blackwell bought the estate in 1976, many celebrities have added to the diverse vegetation, which shades the white sand coves. The new-look GoldenEye, presented in exclusive images today, offers the ultimate in quiet luxury with private villas and cottages set around a lagoon––Fleming’s original house is available, and still contains the desk on which he penned his 14 James Bond novels. The breezy dwellings, designed by the team of Ann Hodges, Jamaica’s leading architect, and interior decorator and Biba founder Barbara Hulanicki, are outfitted with furnishings by Royal Hut, the company founded by Blackwell's late wife, Mary Vinson.
