Frenchman’s Cove, named after a historic battle between the British and French, is a secluded Caribbean retreat in Port Antonio, Jamaica. Established in the 1960s, it offers 18 villas and rooms surrounded by lush nature and biodiversity, blending history, beauty, and tranquility on 48 acres. Frenchman’s Cove gets its name from an old legend about a fierce battle involving cannon fire and swashbucklers between the British and the French near the cove. According to the tale, the British emerged victorious, and injured French soldiers took shelter in the cove, which is how it earned its historic name. Located above the calm waves of the Caribbean Sea, surrounded by vast parkland and lush tropical vegetation, Frenchman’s Cove has been a private retreat for over five decades. Established in the 1960s, it set the standard for Caribbean excellence while remaining secluded from public view. The private villas and The Great House have hosted everyone from royalty to rock stars.
