English author Ian Fleming penned all 14 of his famous James Bond novels from his home in Jamaica's Oracabessa Bay, which he dubbed "GoldenEye". Now a part of GoldenEye Hotel & Resort, the five-bedroom villa features Bond-like amenities including a private swimming pool, a sunken garden, a private butler and cook, and direct access to a private beach.

Now, Bond fans can follow in Fleming's footsteps, with a new overnight package available through the end of October from $3,767 which includes: 

- Four nights in a Lagoon Cottage, Beach Villa, or the Fleming Villa with daily breakfast

- Guided snorkeling tour of Fleming’s beloved reef

- Fishing excursion with local fisherman on a traditional wooden fishing canoe, with your catch cooked for dinner

- Private tour of playwright Noel Coward’s home Firefly followed by cocktails and canapés (Coward and Fleming were neighbors and close friends)

Guests will also have the run of the larger GoldenEye Hotel, set on 52 acres of private beaches, tropical forests, secret coves and a lagoon. Start the day with stand-up paddle boarding off the hotel's white sand bay, then hit Bizot Bar for breakfast overlooking the beach. Follow it with a trip to. GoldenEye’s Field Spa, located on the lagoon so guest can swim or kayak from their cottage to the spa. We'd opt for a massage in one of the open-to-the air treatment rooms. End with a sunset yoga class, followed by grilled Caribbean lobster tail overlooking the tropical forest at the hotel's Gazebo restaurant.
