GoldenEye
Ian Fleming's estate — the villa where the James Bond novels were written, now a barefoot resort
The Privata Perspective
Ian Fleming built GoldenEye in 1946 and wrote his James Bond novels at its desk; Island Outpost's Chris Blackwell has grown the estate into Jamaica's most characterful resort — lagoon cottages, beach huts and villas scattered between two beaches and a private lagoon. The Fleming Villa itself, with its own beach and gardens, is bookable, and the Bizot Bar remains the island's best excuse to stay up late.
