Description

The Caves in Negril, Jamaica is an organic interpretation of romance. It's the perfect choice for guests who value spirituality, privacy, romance and verdant beauty.

Its two seafront acres hide many secrets - sundecks and nooks, even grottos in the cliff itself. One of these grottos is designed for dining - lit with candles and strewn with flowers. The Aveda Mini-Spa looks out on deep blue water. The high-ceilinged cottages are made of wood and stone and roofed in thatch.

Accommodations

Set in lush indigenous bush with winding paths, the many buildings have different permutations to suite all our guests' requirements. One Drop is one of the original "A" framed thatched units.

Activities

The Caves is relaxation with gentle exercise and rejuvenation. To this end we have a sauna, plunge pool, salt water pool and Aveda Spa all with breath-taking views.

Tradition dictates an early morning "jump" from the cliffs, a float on a lilo (either in the sea or pool) or a drink rocking in the sea. The intricate design of landings and steps hugging the cliffside at intervals all the way to the sea, guarantee sun spots virtually all day long.

Located just within a 15 minute drive to Negril's famous seven-mile beach are Airtime Parasailing, Wave Runner & Jet Ski, Banana Boat Ride, Water Skiing, Snorkeling, Sunset Cruise, Deep Sea Fishing, Island Picnic Trip, Full Day Cruise to Half Moon Beach, Dolphin Divers Catamaran Sunset, Negril Scuba Center and more.

Weddings

Built on top of volcanic smoothed rock formed through out the ages sits THE CAVES. If you are looking for a wondrous oceanfront wedding, this is your spot.

In addition to spacious open views we also have very private caves; one is a famous dining area, sprinkled with rose petals and lit by numerous candles flickering in the ocean breeze. We will prepare the meal of your choice and you can indulge in portions of your wedding cake whilst enjoying the sunset & listening to our eclectic blend of sweet music.

The Caves offers many other breathtaking backdrops for your special day-Choose from our upstairs decked patio with the famed Negril lighthouse in view, to our light and airy breakfast gazebo. The stunning blue of the Caribbean Sea remains an enduring favorite challenged closely by the intimate Sands private dining & bar area that comfortably seats up to 50 guests. Your signature wedding-look is possible no matter how you dreamed it to be.

First-class photography services are available from SunGold Photo who will have your memories preserved on a digital flip (CD) album or a leather-bound keepsake. Personal attendants, florist and cake-design services and in-room mani, pedi and hair care are all readily available to ensure that no detail is overlooked.
