The
south coast district of Treasure
Beach is authentically
laid back. The folks who live here either
fish or farm. And the folks who come
here like to chill. The chilliest of
the chill spots is Jakes.
Vogue calls it “the chicest shack
in the Caribbean.” The Evening
Standard calls it “officially
the coolest place to stay in the world.”
But we call it the home of the Calabash
International Literary Festival —
the greatest little festival in the
greatest little district in the greatest
little country in the world.
For flights
to Jamaica (Montego Bay or Kingston)
contact American
Airlines. For ground
transportation to the festival —
and you’ll need it because Treasure
Beach is a three-hour drive from either
airport — call Jake’s
at 876-965-3000. Your best resource
for comprehensive information on Jamaica
— including the south coast
and Treasure Beach — is the
50 year-old Jamaica
Tourist Board.
