I just got back from the beautiful South Coast of Jamaica where you can explore Jamaica off the beaten path and find farmers who sell their vegetables to the local restaurants and Treasure Beach residents with smiles brighter than the Jamaican sun.

The sleepy fishing villages with peaceful lifestyles will keep your face to the cool ocean breezes and the fresh salt air in your hair.

There are beautiful cottages and resorts dotting the cliffs along the coast; each providing picture perfect scenery while creating the desire to just settle down and wait for the sun to set.   While visiting several unique resorts,  Jakes stood out for something many visitors may only take small notice of….. the beautiful doors; some wood carved, while others were painted.  But, all are beautiful, offering an opportunity to capture beauty that may have gone unnoticed.

Jakes started as a decades long love story between the Densham family and the village of Treasure Beach on Jamaica’s south coast.  Now a cliff side resort, the collection of unique cottages and villas creates a beautiful boutique resort filled with charm, character and serenity.  Jason, the Densham family’s son, runs the 26 room property.  Open year round, you are sure to call Jakes home, after one visit.

Take a few minutes to enjoy the doors.  And, you too may ask, “what lies behind them, who has walked through them, what have they kept out, what have they let in….. the doors of Jakes are the entry into a beautiful world where nature and luxury come together in perfect unity.
