True to its name, Tranquillity is a place for relaxing into the calm ambiance of an exquisite home on a beautiful beachfront site ~ while being gently pampered by a competent staff.
The well-appointed rooms of Tranquillity stretch over 5,200 square feet of rich marble floors. Artful landscaping ensures year-round flowers in bloom. The grounds resemble a private park.
The entranceway draws you past an indoor waterfall garden as you approach the spacious Great Room which opens to an 86' furnished verandah. Home-cooked meals are served by the butler on the verandah overlooking two acres of landscaped grounds and the sea ~ or in the inside formal dining room ~ or, as a special treat, in the romantic seaside gazebo by candlelight.
On calm nights, two or three local fishermen may ease through the water beyond the gazebo carrying torches and laying bait nets for the fresh catch they will deliver to the cook the next morning. The overall ambiance is quite beautiful.
Meals at Tranquillity merit special attention. Chef Danny received his formal training in Italy and has been Head Chef at several of Montego Bay's better restaurants.
If you’ve left your pets behind, be advised that Tranquillity is home to our friendly dogs. They spend days in the yard and on the beach and the staff cares for them. If you enjoy them, they’ll run with you on the beach and romp with you in the sea. They are gentle, well-behaved and love guests!

"To drift off to sleep to the sound of waves lapping on the beach below ... it's like living in an idyllic treehouse ... the Tranquillity Beach Cottage is a dream."
