There are views – but then there are the views from Point of View. A sweeping west-to-east ocean panorama and, to the south, forest-clad undulating hills and valleys that are nothing short of bewitching.

Built on the summit of Barnes Hill and on one level with exceptional privacy, Point of View embraces all that is so beautiful and inherently creative about Jamaica; its architecture, natural stones, burnished mahogany, and gardens that celebrate the vibrancy and colour for which this quixotic island country is renowned.

There are five bedrooms to choose from; four of them have king beds and one with twin beds. All open out onto the long, covered veranda.

All of the bedrooms have a private en suite bathroom with Waterworks fittings. The primary bedroom has an indoor and outdoor shower and a free-standing white porcelain bath positioned right in front of a wall that can be opened revealing the valley below. Bathing will never be the same again.

Living in Jamaica is all about the world outdoors. All of this is encapsulated at Point of View and the veranda with its comfortable seating, tables for dining and infinity pool and lawns in front is designed so that everything can be taken in. But if from time to time there is the need to step away, there is an indoor sitting room where deep sofas await and interesting books line shelves and sit on tables, ready to be read.

There are many surprises at Point of View; bird cages amidst flower borders, a kitchen garden and apiary that tastes every bit as good as it looks and a gazebo. Except this is not a normal gazebo. Slightly oriental in its graceful lines and with a large circular dining table, it is cantilevered so as to offer a panorama of falling and soaring valleys, the ocean as well as trees and flowers. At dawn it stands above the mist swirling below, at dusk it salutes the setting of the sun and at night it is lit overhead by stars in the inky sky and by the flickering of flames in the nearby fire pit.

Imagine 2,200 acres of bewitching natural beauty where rolling hills and valleys tumble down to one and a half miles of private shoreline and beach club. An escape where you never need visit a grocery store, prepare a meal, where a team of nannies is available to entertain the children and all you need consider if whether to bask languidly in the private swimming pool, take an active tennis lesson, join your husband for a round of golf, skim the waves on a Hobie Cat, gather your thoughts on an early morning jog around our blissfully quiet estate, explore a nature trail or simply do nothing at all. This is the Tryall Club, home to an informally luxurious wellness lifestyle that is as unique as it is different and one where classical, warm Jamaican hospitality prevails.

Dining at Tryall Club

• Relaxed and informal and located right beside the sea, the Beach Restaurant & Bar is open for both lunch as well as dinner. The menus incorporate the fresh produce grown in our organic garden. Irrigated by water from our own mountain spring, the organic garden is tended by two specialized agricultural staff. It grows a wide variety of salad leaves, herbs, arugula, tomatoes and other vegetables.
