Silent Waters is one of the most glamorous private homes in the Caribbean. It is distinguished by world-class architecture and design, breathtaking location, and exquisite accommodations and service. The excellent staff includes the head chef, assistant chef, butler, housekeepers, laundress, driver, night watchman, maintenance supervisor, gardeners, marketing assistant and property manager … 14 in all.
This property is 6 miles west of Montego Bay on the North Coast Road. Located on one of the highest mountaintops overlooking Montego Bay and the Caribbean Sea, the site consists of 18 acres. Silent Waters consists of twelve buildings, helicopter pad and tennis court. Five villa suites (9 air conditioned bedrooms) accommodate as many as 18 guests. Addition of the owner’s private villa (1 air conditioned bedroom) enables 20 guests.
Built in 1998, the owners desired a destination that would accommodate affluent clientele while providing the highest level of privacy, intimacy and security - for their guests as well as for themselves. Twelve buildings are carefully positioned on 18 acres of the most lavish gardens, tranquil ponds and breathtaking views. Five villa suites plus owner's master suite are each positioned in such a way as to prevent seeing the other villas. The paved entrance road is elegantly landscaped with stately Royal Palms. Black and gold wrought iron gates designed by the owner and brought from Thailand mark the entrance to the property. Hand-carved teak doors from Bali lead to multiple interior areas in textures of Travertine marble, Brazilian granite, cedar and teak. Colorful gardens are accented with ancient carved Balinese, Burmese, Thai and Chinese statuary. Serene lily ponds and turquoise pools stocked with Koi fish, separate various living spaces within the villa compound … heavenly for yoga retreat. Privacy is assured. Sophisticated electronic security and video monitors ensure that only invited parties may enter the villa compound.
The hub of the villa compound is the 900-square-foot Main Pavilion. A few steps across the terrace are the breakfast gazebo, dining room and open-air bar with television with VCR and DVD and cushioned seating for 22. An 80’ infinity edge reflection pool wraps around the al fresco breakfast gazebo and dining pavilion. A garden path leads up the mountain to the very private owner’s villa which accommodates two more guests.
The Head Chef is one of Silent Waters’ greatest prizes. From his state-of-the-art commercial kitchen and grill, he creates a repertoire of artistically presented Continental, Nouveau and Caribbean cuisine. The dining pavilion is located in a wraparound reflecting pool and has a 330-degree view of Montego Bay and the sea as well as the exquisitely landscaped grounds. The dining table is a rare rainbow-colored 15-foot slab of Brazilian Bahian granite. Seated dinners here can accommodate 14 guests. For more casual dining, the Gazebo commands a 360-degree view and can accommodate nine guests for seated meals. A spacious bar and entertainment area around the pool enable hosting of an intimate cocktail party … seated dinner for 54 guests … or a gala al fresco cocktail party for 150 guests or more. Event costs vary depending on menu and guest count.
On one of the highest plateaus overlooking most of the property is the “world class designed” private tennis court built by the Jamaican Davis Cup Pro, Richard Russell. It is constructed of DecaTurf, the multi-layer cushioned surface of all of the U.S. Open tennis courts and is lit for night play. The viewing pavilion has comfortable seating and a granite wet bar and fridge stocked with cold drinks. Guests are invited to use the Playmate Ace Plus Pro with Direction Ball Machine and Playmate Alumalift Pro Ball Serving Machine. Rackets are available for the guests. For the tennis aficionado, the court’s design and views are unmatchable. From this spot, steps lead to the Silent Waters lighted helicopter pad on the property’s highest elevation.
