More than a sublime island retreat, Panorama is a contemporary villa set on naturally landscaped gardens. This self-contained haven boasts all the sophistication of modern global living while blending with the natural beauty of the island. A stunning 360-degree view of the serene John Crow and Blue Mountain peaks, the Caribbean Sea and a surrounding palette of lush vegetation with paved walkways and a semi open-air private parking area provide an idyllic backdrop for this Jamaican Eden. The perfect accommodation for groups or families, Panorama embodies all the warmth and authenticity of true Jamaican culture while catering to a sophisticated standard of service and accommodation.

From its early days as one of the battlegrounds of the Maroon Resistance to its Banana Empire glory years and its more recent Hollywood heyday, Port Antonio has a history that runs as deep as its Jamaican roots. One of Jamaica’s most compelling chronicles of human dignity is the Maroon Resistance. Originating as a small group of Spanish-owned slaves, the Maroons recalibrated the historical tide by engaging in a guerrilla style harassment of the British troops that resulted in a long history of uprising, resilience and conquest. Unlike other Caribbean islands and overpopulated, all-inclusive attractions, Portland’s beaches are generally secluded, unspoiled getaways defined by their unique character and pristine beauty. Whether it’s enjoying the untouched glamour of Frenchman’s Cove, the local energy at Winnifred Beach or the rejuvenating waters of Long Bay, Portland is a self-made mecca of natural attractions that resonate with the history and cloistered elegance of the area. There is also the stunning Scatter and Reach waterfalls and bamboo rafting down the Rio Grande River, an excursion made famous by swashbuckling screen star Errol Flynn during his Hollywood prime.
