The Caves, Island Outpost's seductive oceanfront sanctuary in Negril Jamaica, presents an unequaled haven for weddings and honeymoons. Dramatic cliffs, mesmerizing ocean views and stunning accommodations set the stage for a vacation in paradise.
The spectacular cliff location, perched above Negril's volcanic formed caves, overlooks the Caribbean ocean and offers thirteen exclusive cliffside accommodations: one- and two- bedroom cottages and suites, and a four-bedroom deluxe villa. The property also features two main dining gazebos, private cave dining and the coolest rum and cigar bar in the Caribbean.
The colorful wooden thatch-roofed cottages are naturally ventilated and feature large mosquito-netted beds, louvered windows, handcrafted wood and wicker furnishing, one-of-a kind artwork and outdoor showers (all ground floor suites, including the one-bedroom cottages, have air conditioning.)
For the utmost in privacy, The Caves offers the Clandestino Villa-four-bedrooms, a private pool and 3,500 square-feet of wood and stone nestled on a fully enclosed half-acre of naturally landscaped jungle gardens. Cut stone walkways, two-car open-air parking area and automated main entrance gate outline the property.
The Caves offers a breathtaking backdrop for your unforgettable wedding or honeymoon. Private caves are available for intimate wedding ceremonies, while other options include an upper deck patio with the famed Negril lighthouse in the background, a light and airy gazebo positioned in the foliage and a cliff edge suspended above the ocean. Personal attendants, a florist, cake designer, spa and salon services in addition to professional photography and video services are available.
The Caves recently unveiled a host of refurbishments that help brand the property as the perfect destination for the sophisticated traveler. In addition to tantalizing menus and upscale accommodations, The Caves include a sensual cliffside Jacuzzi, convenient floating sun deck, allowing guests to drift serenely in the Caribbean Sea and a rejuvenating spa.
The property is located on the westernmost tip of Jamaica, adjacent to the historic lighthouse, just one hour by car from Sangster International airport in Montego Bay, and with easy access to the nightlife and legendary beaches of Negril.
