Lux Travel- Jamaica & Morocco

Ok, to move away from all the nonsense that is Lindsay Lohan, let me tell you about 2 great destinations that are all about relaxation and luxeness.


1. Jamaica, W.I
Why? Because the beauty and laid back vibe of the island is incomparable.
Go If? You're tired of hearing about the daily spoils of the 'wack pack' (Britney, Paris, Lindsay etc.)
Stay where? So many to chose from, but my picks are from the Island Outpost Properties. Jake's, The Caves, Strawberry Hill and GoldenEye.
Why? Quite simply, because all of these locations embrace the true beauty, naturality and luxness of this island paradise.
What Else? It's no coincidence that the owner of the Island Outpost properties is Chris Blackwell, who also founded Island Records. The label whose roster included Jamaica's best known and most loved export, the Honorable Bob Marley. A true legend. Jake's, located in Treasure Beach, St. Elizabeth is definitely my top choice. With its Moroccan themed riad styled shacks it is the must rustic and unspoilt. A bohemian oasis that is super affordable without any compromise to lux. The Caves, located on the west end of Negril, is a gorgeous and mellowing romantic hideaway, with actual grottos carved into the caves (one of the grottos is used for dining!). Strawberry Hill, the most exotic and adventurous of all the properties is nestled amongst the moutaintops in the famed Blue Moutains (yes, the coffee). It is really a phenom of nature and the ultimate in privacy. GoldenEye, in scenic Oracabessa, St. Mary, is a hidden rural paradise. It is also the former home of Ian Fleming (uh huh as in Bond, James Bond). And for those of you who want to own a piece of paradise, Island Outpost is now offering villas for sale on the GoldenEye property. Now thats luxeness at its best!

2.Marrakech, Morrocco
Why? Because you live for the chicness of this fashionable locale.
Go If? You love an exotic mix of fashion, food and fun.
Stay where? Riad Farnatchi
Why? Intimate (only has 8 suites) and sexy are just two of the many reasons.
What else? From the Atlas Mountains to the historical and fabled souks, Marrakech is an ancient city that must be experienced. The total luxeness and coziness of the Farnatchi, makes it even more easier to visit this old worldly yet modern day Zion. Riad Farnatchi's roof top terrace and beautifully appointed suites, furnished with traditional decor, including hand made beds with exotic hung fabrics only add the allure. Two other noteworthy mentions are: Amanjena (lux, lux, lux but not as intimate) and Kasbah Tamadot ( Richard Branson-pardon me, Sir Richard- of the Virgin Brands is the owner. 'Nuff said!)
