Horizon Cottage - Sea Ranch, Belmont Jamaicann | Cottage in Savanna la Mar
1 Bedroom Cottage in Savanna la Mar
Imagine having a 'private reef' to yourself with access to kayaks to ride on. Snorkel gear is provided or you can BYO and you get to see the glories of a living coral reef, 1-mile out from your front yard.
The space
This is a self-serving property, please stop at a grocery store before you arrive.
This is the only little private boutique resort we know of that offers the opportunity to spend day after day taking in the beauty of a coral reef filled with a variety of marine life. Some guests even swim out and back; that is how close it is (distance 1 mile).
Sea Ranch Cottage sits directly on the water, and Rasta Ranch is just behind Sea Ranch -- a small sandy beach steps from your door.
Each furnished cottage features a spacious living/dining porch with privacy shades, a ceiling and table-fanned bedroom with a queen-size bed, a fully equipped kitchenette, a private bathroom, and unique open-air showers with reliable electric hot water outside in a walled garden of flowering vines.
A/C is an additional surcharge of US$15/night. You pay this directly on the island when you want to use it. We ask that you only use the A/C at night when getting ready for bed/sleeping.
Jamaican paintings, carvings, and books abound. CD/radio players. Sea kayaks and seabed/floats. An outside grill and separate cookhouse with freezer-fridge and oven should you wish to hire Laga to cook local meals for US$20 + supplies. Or dine out at a handful of good little places.
Located just an hour from MoBay and Negril, Horizon offers a unique escape from the tourist crowds. Nestled in a traditional fishing village, Sea Ranch and Rasta Ranch Cottages have been featured in Caribbean Travel & Life: Jamaica's Hidden Coast, offering a truly off-the-beaten-track experience.
Horizon offers a shared seaside jetty, sea kayaking, and snorkeling gear (2-sets supplied for each cottage). Housekeeper (Sophia), manager and tour guide (Diego), hire cook and night watchman (Laga).
Laga can be hired to prepare dinner for US$20 + supplies. Diego can be hired for excursions to wherever you want to explore: YS Falls, the Blue Hole Gardens, Negril, and Black River, to name just a few.
This private seaside compound is in an untouristed fishing village. It is a favorite of artists, writers, honeymooners, and adventuresome first-time visitors who come back again and again.

"Utterly charming" says the Lonely Planet Guide to Jamaica of Sea Ranch and Rasta Ranch, "two sweet cottages in a private oceanfront setting".

-Close by, the town of Savanna-la-Mar (20+ minutes away) for shopping can be arranged as well with hire driver
