Sparkling turquoise seas, the verdant northern coastline, dazzling sunrises, tropical flowers and lush vegetation welcome you to Cabarita Lookout. Relax by the sparkling pool, enjoy a massage by Racquel, our in-house masseuse, dine under the stars and step into a new way to vacation. Escape the hustle and bustle of super clubs and tourism and enjoy your new "home away from home" in Jamaica. Our villa was completed two years ago on the historic Wentworth estate, an estate filled with banana, orange, lime, mango and papaya trees. Rumored to be the illustrious Captain Henry Morgan's lookout and sitting adjacent to playwright Noel Coward's dramatic estate "Firefly," Cabarita Lookout has one of the most beautiful and expansive views in all of Jamaica. Elegant yet cozy, we want our home to be your "home away from home."
On your arrival at Montego Bay Airport, you'll be greeted by Cutty, your driver, butler and new "best friend." Cutty has a wealth of knowledge about Jamaica and will be happy to share the lore of his land as he drives you to Cabarita Lookout. On arrival you'll be greeted with a rum punch by Sharon, both a fabulous cook and meticulous housekeeper. Cool sea breezes and breathtaking views will erase any memories of work or travel.
Cabarita Lookout is located in close proximity to James Bond Beach, Dunn's River Falls, Dolphin Cove and Fern Gully. For the more adventuresome, try rafting the Rio Grande, boating to Black Sands Beach and hiking to the amazing Tacky Waterfall and freshwater lake, exploring Cockpit Country or deep sea fishing with local fishermen. Or just kick back and relax around our new 32'x14' pool and be catered to by Cutty, Sharon and Racquel. Early mornings join Cutty as he goes down to the beach to pick up the "catch of the day" from local fishermen. Sharon's cuisine ranges from local to international. You are free to design your own menu.
Cabarita Lookout comfortably sleeps three families or three couples with extra beds available. The van and driver are available from 7 am to 9 pm during your stay. Whether you are looking for an active family vacation loaded with activities for you and your kids or just a quiet private getaway with friends, Cabarita Lookout promises memories you'll treasure forever.
Thinking of a romantic Caribbean wedding? While Cabarita Lookout is just 2 years old, we have hosted a 5 weddings and a rehearsal dinner during our first two years. I hope you’ll agree, the results were stunning. We have a wedding planner on staff, Verlie Carty, who has a fabulous Jamaican nursery filled with gorgeous tropical flowers. Our planner is also a talented maker of cakes and event coordinator. The weddings all included the ceremony with pastor, fabulous meal of lobster, Mahi Mahi and chicken, and dancing under the stars - and for under $100/per person - a modest price according to current American standards. And the wedding parties have been thrilled with the entire affair! If it is an elegant, romantic and private wedding you’re looking for, Cabarita Lookout may be your answer. Please feel free to call us or email us with your questions and desires.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2009
My husband and I have had a love affair with Jamaica for over 20 years. The first year we visited Jamaica we were taking a drive east of Ocho Rios when we rounded a corner and saw the most spectacular coastal view we'd ever seen. My husband said, "Some day we'll have a home with this view." Little did we know, 12 years later we would be volunteering in orphanages in just this location! After 9 years of volunteer work, we found the perfect property with the view we had fallen in love with 20 years earlier. We purchased the land and built Cabarita Lookout! While we still bring mission teams to stay at Cabarita Lookout, we have also opened the villa up to guest rentals.
Why the Owner Chose Port Maria
We actually purchased land in a location we love and built our own villa. As described earlier, we believe Cabarita Lookout has the most spectacular view in all of Jamaica, a land and people we love. Cabarita Lookout is located about 30 minutes from Ocho Rios in a quiet community atop a hill, sitting adjacent to Noel Coward's estate "Firefly." We are close enough to Ocho Rios to enjoy its fine dining, night life and beaches, yet far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet our hilltop perch affords. Cabarita Lookout views the Caribbean and northern coastline, yet we are surrounded with lush vegetation including banana, mango, lime, papapa and ackee trees. Our caretakers, Cutty and Sharon, have also planted a vegetable garden which provides fresh lettuce, tomatoes, squash and beans. Cutty goes to the sea for fresh fish and lobster and Sharon adds the fresh fruits and vegetables from our land. Cabarita Lookout is a unique property that provides the perfect getaway for the more adventuresome or for those who just want to kick back around the pool and take in a view they'll remember forever.
The Unique Benefits of this Villa
The benefits of staying at Cabarita Lookout are many. Sharon, our cook, creates fabulous meals out of fresh fruits and vegetables and local fish. We often take a boat from Kokomo, our local beach bar, and set out for pristine unpopulated beaches; my favorite is Black Sands Beach where we hike to an amazing waterfall and fresh water pool. Each morning I love to swim laps in our amazing "pool with a view." I love to dine at Toscanini's Restaurant in Ocho Rios and enjoy the night life. I love to sit on the master suite veranda with a glass of wine and melt into the view. I love to have breakfast on the veranda and watch the sun rise over Jamaica. I like to bicycle in the hills surrounding Cabarita Lookout. I love to swim at Moxon's Beach Club and be waited on hand and foot by their amazing staff. But most of all I just love being at Cabarita Lookout, "far away from the maddening crowds," and looking out on my little piece of paradise.

Out Stay at Cabarita Lookout was just Amazing. The Staff Sharon and Cutty were very professional and accommodating and always had a smile. We had a group of 6 plus an additional 35 people for a small wedding and everything was just exquisite. Sharon takes detail in preparing her meals we loved her pineapple upside down cake and her coconut cream lobster. After a long day exploring Dunn"s River Falls and James Bond Beach it was a relief to just come home and unwind by the pool with a glass of wine and a Red Stripe Beer. Cutty took us out everyday and he thrills you with beautiful island stories couldn't get enough. We found an extension to our family and you will you.
Owner response:Cabarita Lookout loves to hear rave reviews about our staff...because we think they are the best! As a new villa - just two years old - we strive to have the best possible food and service and we have been shown over and over that Sharon is a superb cook and Cutty the best-of-all story-telling drivers...it seems as though Cutty always becomes our guests "new best friend"! My husband and I recently took a high school team to work on a local primary school and the kids stayed at Cabarita Lookout - every night they said they couldn't wait until morning to see what Sharon had prepared. Not only is her food fabulous, her presentation is superb! While Cabarita Lookout is a lovely spot for a wedding or family gathering, it is also the perfect romantic getaway for a couple. The master suite sings romance with it's private veranda with massage table, lovely claw foot tub and amazing panoramic views - nothing tops the moon over the Caribbean Sea with a cool breeze blowing and not a worry in the world! Having breakfast as the sun rises on your private veranda is also enticing! Cabarita Lookout is also a great spot for families with children - on our last trip we actually witnessed a sea turtle hatch on the beach not far from the villa. We encourage our guests with children or teenagers to take them up to the school we support and spend some time with our Jamaican neighbor's children. Miss Jean, the principal of the local primary school, loves it when our guests visit and read to the children. Another terrific adventure from Cabarita Lookout is our trip to Black Sands Beach, a private, pristine beach about a 20 minute boat ride away. After swimming and a picnic our guests hike through the rainforest to the Tacky Waterfall - a 60-foot waterfall cascading into a fresh water pool. The local bamboo serves as a great raft to paddle under the waterfall - our guests love the trip! Cabarita Lookout offers a vacation much different from one you will find at a Super Club or hotel. We offer personalized service and opportunities to experience the Jamaican culture first hand. We love Cabarita Lookout and our staff and know you will too!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

From the amazing meals to the Black Sand Beach, I have had the vacation of my life. Sharon has been an absolutely incredible chef; Cutty is my new best friend; and the Blisses have made the past two weeks something that I will be telling stories about for years to come. Jamaica (and the view from the house) is BREATHTAKING. A home away from home is an understatement, I truly feel that I have found something that allows me to forget the worries of home and enjoy the beauty of my surroundings, which is not complete without mentioning the people of Jamaica, by far the most welcoming people I have ever encountered. Pam and Ed have made my time in the awe inspiring country that much more amazing. If I am fortunate enough to travel back to this country there is no question that I will be staying at Cabarita Lookout! Best wishes and many, many thanks.

I have found my new home away from home. From the moment I stepped off the plane here and arrived at Cabarita Lookout I felt I belonged in Jamaica - its welcoming climate, landscape, and especially people delight all visitors. My favorite part of this trip was wandering into Port Maria and discovering its treasures. The vegetable market makes for the best meals and fresh fish can be purchased from the local fishermen and the oceanside bar is a great place to enjoy music. The Blisses are wonderfully accommodating and delightful in their stories. When I’m next able to come to this island I’ll look forward to staying at Cabarita Lookout and enjoy the spectacular views. Thanks for a great trip

Our vacation was amazing!!! Cabarita Lookout is spectacular! Sharon, Cutty and Parson are the BEST! Everything was great, Sharon's cooking & desserts are to die for and Cutty is our new best friend, we'll never forget him. There was only 1 question he could'nt answer, it was immaterial anyway. Pam & Ed Bliss have to be an awesome couple. We will return and we will recomend this villa to our family & friends.

My family stayed at Cabarita Lookout for a week during the month of May. Sure enough, Cutty was waiting for us as the Airport and took us back to Cabarita Lookout. And the views....we will never forget waking up every morning at 5:30 am just to watch the sunrise over the Caribbean Sea. Breakfasts were heavenly - Sharon and Natalie are fabulous and catered to whatever we wanted. Cutty was a generous host - you honestly will feel like you've known him forever. Dunn's River Falls was spectacular so was the ziplining. But, the best was getting the "real flavor" of the culture. Staying at a resort offers very limited taste's of Jamaica's true culture. However, staying at Cabarita Lookout, you get the real deal. Taking the boat to Blank Sands Beach and Tacky Falls was truly amazing. My son is 3 and he managed (thanks to Captain Bruce and Alfred.) It was honestly very hard to leave...not just the vacation, but Cutty, Sharon, and Natalie. They are so caring, friendly, and warm-hearted. One of the best vacations our family every took! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!
