Accessible only by boat, the resort offers upscale travelers a relaxed and authentic Caribbean escape with superb white-sand beaches and lush tropical environs. After earning distinction as the “World’s Best Caribbean Resort” from Travel + Leisure’s 2007 World’s Best Readers’ Survey, the resort has embarked on a $28 million enhancement, closing its doors though mid-2009. The island’s villa accommodations and estate homes remain open, however, for guest stays, rentals, and as enticing real estate opportunities. Arrayed across one-third of the island, Jumby Bay’s 12 villas are newly refurbished with casually elegant décor and private pools. Seven lavish and fully staffed private estate homes offer private pools and tennis courts, and full access to the many resort amenities.
