Jakes Hotel perfectly combines beohemian and hip, making it a chill hotspot.
This technicolour jewel of a boutique hotel has become an institution in Treasure Beach – and beyond.
The Telegraph, March 2025The appeal of Jake’s, in a nutshell, is that it’s more or less exactly what you would want a Jamaican boutique hotel to be like. On an island whose tourism tends toward the tasteless and the all-inclusive, a place this mellow and unassuming is guaranteed to stand out.
Guide Michelin, May 2024A Treasure Beach institution, the family-run Jakes is more than a boutique hotel; it's the heart and soul of the community... a meandering outcropping of colorful cottages and bungalows with seaside views that provide an intimate antidote to the chain package hotels that dominate much of the island.

Hotels Own Introduction
The Original Bohemian-Caribbean Escape
Surely you’ve heard of Jakes Hotel in Treasure Beach—that funky yet fabulous hideaway everyone raves about in blogs, travel stories, and whispered recommendations. Hand-built and locally crafted, Jakes is the original one-of-a-kind hotel that sparked the South Coast’s now-famous bohemian-Caribbean vibe.
A Taste of Jamaica, Grown Locally
Dining at Jakes is a celebration of the land and sea. Ingredients are sourced directly from nearby farmers and fishermen, ensuring every dish is fresh, flavorful, and deeply rooted in the community. Here, “Grown Locally” isn’t just a phrase—it’s a way of life.
The Spirit of Treasure Beach
Treasure Beach isn’t a destination you simply check off a list—it’s a place you return to, time and time again. Rugged yet welcoming, it serves as a gathering spot for kindred spirits, a community watering hole where fellow travelers connect over sunsets, stories, and shared experiences.
Wellness by the Sea
Set on the edge of the property with waves lapping just steps away, the Driftwood Spa embraces Jamaica’s tradition of healing through nature. Treatments use fresh ingredients from Jakes’ own gardens, delivered in open-air rooms infused with sea breeze and the spa’s signature scent. Every ritual begins with a cool, fragrant towel—a small gesture that signals you’ve entered a space of restoration and calm.
