The relaxed beauty of the natural island landscape accented by vividly designed cottages is the defining visual aesthetic of Jakes. A stunning mix of chic sensuality and artistic flair, each accommodation fits seamlessly into the landscape.
Venue Overview
The relaxed beauty of the natural island landscape accented by vividly designed cottages is the defining visual aesthetic of Jakes. The resort’s winding beachfront property features a mosaic tiled sea-water swimming pool, paved pathways between rooms and to and from the beach, and shady, low-slung palm, ackee, almond, coconut and guinep trees that are complimented by aloe vera plants, pine cactus, desert rose and bougainvillea.
The property also has several intimate niches for sunbathing, reflecting or socializing with like-minded guests. The colorful, thatch-roofed buildings, comfortable lounging decks and fantastic oceanfront views make Jakes feel like a cloistered haven in the midst of an offbeat nirvana.

Jakes Country Cuisine
With a mantra of “Eat what you grow, grow what you eat,” their signature gourmet restaurant is all about right-this-very-second seasonality. You’ll find a menu that shifts according to what’s come in, and is reflective of the rich flavors and hospitality unique to the southern coast.
Jack Sprat Restaurant Located on the western end of the property, cushioned in its very own bay, Jack Sprat serves up seafood prepared to your preference in a relaxed outdoor setting. But let’s not forget the pizza—it’s the best on the island, hands-down.

Treasure Cot
- Two Bedroom Cottage Off Property
- Treasure Cot has been home to some serious Treasure Beach history. To begin, this sweet, two bedroom/two bathroom cottage was built by Joyce and Basil Densham, Sally Henzell’s parents, back in the 1940s. Today, the cottage retains its original charm but with all modern amenities
- Best of all, Treasure Cot sits directly on the beach, steps from some of the area’s best swimming, a few minutes walk from Jakes. Perhaps this was what appealed to author Alex Haley when, back in the 1970s, he wrote his masterpiece—Roots: The Saga of an American Family—while ensconced in this very villa.

Calabash Bay
- Nestled in golden grass and flowering lignum vitae trees, perched on a gently sloping hillside in the rustic fishing village of Treasure Beach, Calabash Bay Villa and Cottage look out over a breathtaking, mile-long patch of Caribbean blue.
- Set off a bit from Jakes proper (it’s just up the winding dirt road), Calabash Bay and its cottage can be rented together or separately. Either way, it’s all about privacy with a heavy dose of personal-chef style pampering. Think massive windows, elegant Indian- and Moroccan-inspired décor, tons of outdoor space for dining and lounging and two solid acres of prime beachfront. Dig your toes into the sand and just walk, drinking in the colorful charm of the local fishing village and the sea of beauty that lies beyond.
