Sandals Dunn’s River Villaggio Golf Resort & Spa
Inspired by the great Italian Renaissance period… and named after the world-famous waterfall located minutes away… Sandals Dunn’s River Villaggio Golf Resort & Spa combines Mediterranean elegance with Jamaican charm, creating Caribbean luxury on a grand scale. From an open-air lobby with soaring columns and winding staircase reminiscent of an Italian palazzo… to the rippling waters of Jamaica’s largest freshwater pool, highlighted by a cascading waterfall that mirrors the image of its famous namesake.
What to expect: Blending Caribbean and Italian Renaissance design, the resort attracts young couples seeking both rest and relaxation and lively group activities. (Guests must be adult couples at least 18 years of age.)
Amenity highlights: A 411-meter (1,350-foot) beach features thatched shades, hammocks, and a massage cabana. Sprawling some 91 meter (300 feet) around a rock-garden waterfall, the resort’s main pool features a 40-seat swim-up bar. A lagoon-style pool with swim-up bar surrounded by a wood sundeck encircles a two-story open-air pavilion sheltering a piano bar that opens nightly for singalong. Adjacent to each pool, a spa tub accommodates 30 guests.

The majority of amenities and activities at Sandals Dunn’s River Villaggio Golf Resort are included in the room rate; guests will not be charged extra for most amenities and activities.
This resort underwent a $14-million-dollar renovation and refurbishment project in 2005. Improvements include a new lobby and rooms; porte cochere entry; the Red Lane Spa, featuring indigenous ingredients; and butler service in superior suites.
A long drive lined by tall palm trees leads to the resort. An Italian Renaissance-style open-air lobby contains a fountain pool, twin spiral wrought-iron staircases, potted plants, and overstuffed seating. Near the lobby, a grove of tall trees shades an area for quiet contemplation and conversation. Two-person hammocks are available throughout the resort.
An air-conditioned health spa with two couples’ rooms, one featuring a two-person spa tub, offers massage, body wraps and scrubs, hydrotherapy, and facials, while a separate beauty salon offers hair braiding, paraffin treatments, waxing, and hair and nail care (surcharges for all services).
The spa occupies a two-story building with both Caribbean accents such as bleached-wood ceilings and mahogany trim and Roman accents such as rose marble. It features a semi-open two-story pavilion decorated with Roman wall paintings and potted plants that contain a 16-person spa tub, warm and cool plunge pools, and pairs of saunas and steam rooms in a marble shower area.
