“Lashings” means a copious amount of something – especially food or drinks and the Lashings Boutique hotel is perfect for just that, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy a glass of rum punch and jerk chicken with steamed vegetables, while admiring the Caribbean Sea. Lashings Boutique hotel is located in Treasure Beach – known as the “little place with the big heart”- in St. Elizabeth. Treasure Beach is a string of fishing villages on the unspoilt south coast of Jamaica.
Known as the home of community tourism, this is an area with no chain resorts and tourist traps, instead all its properties are owned by individuals with a common goal – to support each other for the benefit of all. Staying at Lashings hotel not only is an unforgettable experience but a fulfilling one – as you are directly giving back to the local community. In addition to supporting local artists, Lashings prides itself in sponsoring the local football team, Likkle Swimmers children’s charity, the AngelFish recycling scheme and many other local causes.

The top-tier room is the penthouse suite, which has two master bedrooms with an open design, that is both minimalist and contemporary in concept that comfortably fit a family of 4. Each room has a king size bed with A/C, a flat screen TV, a desk, en-suite bathroom, closet space and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to the balcony.
The wooden deck balcony is very spacious with arm chairs, a coffee table, a hammock, and a dining space overlooking the Caribbean Sea and the gorgeous infinity pool.
The penthouse suite also has a separate kitchen space that is fully equipped with dishes, silverware, glasses, pots and pans, an electric tea kettle, a full size fridge and a gas stove.
To provide the best ocean views, the penthouse suite is tucked up in the hill and there are many stairs to climb to get up there — but it’s totally worth it!
