Cabin for 2 Persons – Your Hotel-ly Different Holiday

Jamaica unplugged! The owner, reggae musician Jamaica Papa Curvin, has lived in Germany for 40 years and ja few years ago he discovered his favourite property on the island. Now he lives in Jamaica and is looking forward to hosting guests with a genuine interest in his home country.

The Artist house is located on a vast property with stunning sea views and tropical garden, just above a rocky cliff.

From your front porch or sitting in the hammock or on the new build sun deck you will enjoy the beautiful garden and the panorama views of the sea. You can also discover exotic birds and butterflies in the lush vegetation on the huge property. In the evenings you can watch the light of fireflies.

If you want to, you can fish directly on the property or get refreshed by jumping from the cliffs into the sea, if the sea conditions allow.

You can lounge in several hammocks. During the summer months you can enjoy stunning sun rises and sunsets from here.

Enjoy our sun deck overlooking the cliffs, giving you a panoramic view of the ocean! Visit our CAVE! See photos.

Jamaican breakfast and/or dinner on request.

How about a trip to a beautiful waterfall not far from the property? Enjoy the beautiful location to swim or jump from the cliffs right into the water. l

Where you’ll be

Oracabessa, St Mary Parish, Jamaica

Within walking distance from your vacation cottage is the picturesque Fishermen´s Beach, here the beach has small pebbles - but it is a perfect spot for snorkeling and a refreshing swim. You can also purchase the freshly caught fish and various types of shellfish.
For a day on the beach we recommend the authentic Caribbean Sugar Pot Beach with bar and a restaurant with delicious seafood (lobster etc). It's about 13 minutes by car, you can also go by the cheap Route Taxi ( Jamaica - no problem;) Meet the locals, off the beaten track.

Lives in Oracabessa, Jamaica
Jamaica Papa Curvin has now reached the status of a Reggae Legend. Even before Reggae was born, Curvin came to Europe. He has taken a shine on ska and calypso, the precursors of reggae, in the early 1960s. From the "Bamboos of Jamaica" Curvin’s musical way led him over "Broadway" and "Malcolm's Locks" to "Boney M.". With "Boney M." Curvin toured as a drummer, even in the Eastern Bloc, which was closed for most other Western bands. His singing career began timidly at first but friends and musicians urged him to sing. Curvin could not let his drum go but because his instrument is anyway united with him he accomplished a rare feat: For years he has been playing drums while singing simultaneously. Meanwhile, he is the pure front man. After 40 years in Europe Jamaica Papa Curvin returned to the most beautiful island in the world: Jamaica. In Jamaica he runs a studio and continues what he already started in Germany: Supporting young talents. The secret of his authenticity: "I see my audience as a part of me, when I speak to my audience, I have a feeling I'm talking to myself", Curvin reveals.
