Have you ever dreamed of visiting a celebrity home or vacationing at the same resorts of the rich and famous?  Well, now you can actually vacation like Reggae royalty.  Thanks to the Marley Family you can vacation in the same place that Bob Marley and his family spent their summer vacations.

A former Governor’s mansion, the property was discovered by the Marley’s in 1976 while Bob was recovering from an assassination attempt.  They loved it so much the family spent summer vacations there until 2004.  During renovations, Mrs. Rita Marley decided it was time to share this fabulous vacation home with the rest of the world.  The Marley Resort & Spa was officially born!

The resort welcomed its first guests in 2008 and is a living tribute to reggae legend, Bob Marley.  It is home to 16 luxuriousl Caribbean themed suites, each named after one of Marley’s most popular songs.  Guests can relax in the “Kinky Reggae” suite, the “Lively Up Yourself” suite, the “Jammin” suite or the popular “Positive Vibrations” suite just to name a few. Feel like a Queen when you stay in the “Royal Rita” suite which was the personal suite of Mrs. Rita Marley.  (Mrs. Marley personally re-designed this suite during the renovations).  The Marley Resort & Spa also has the perfect suite for honeymooners.  Celebrate your love in “The One Love” suite, which has been transformed into a private oasis with dual rainfall showers and an in-room Jacuzzi.  Feel like reggae royalty in the “Legend” suite which features a private balcony, separate living room and the signature Marley bed, so luxuriously cloud like that you must experience it for yourself. 

Perfectly located on the pristine white sandy Cable Beach, the resort also features the exclusive “Simmer Down” restaurant.  The restaurant features authentic Jamaican cuisine prepared by the family’s own private chef, Mama Lur (Ms. Lurline Pile).  Guests can also enjoy live reggae music and their favorite cocktail at the resorts famous “Stir It Up” bar.

Our favorite feature of the resort is the music gallery/museum which takes visitors on a personal journey thru Bob Marley’s illustrious career with personal photographs and awards.

Experience a little slice of reggae heaven! One Love & One Heart, In only One Place... The Marley Resort & Spa!
