the Caribbean. It is distinguished by world-class architecture
and design, breathtaking location, and exquisite accommodations
and service.

overlooking Montego Bay and the Caribbean Sea, the site consists
of 18 acres. Twelve buildings, helicopter pad and tennis court
occupy five acres. Five villa suites (9 air conditioned bedrooms)
accommodate as many as 18 guests. Addition of the owner's private
villa (1 air conditioned bedroom) enables 20 guests.

weddings (54 sit down maximum), receptions (150 or more), yoga
retreat, and more ...White sand beaches, beach bar and restaurant,

Hill Club 5 minutes west of the villa.
There are nine deluxe villas within 2 miles of the
property for those desiring to host their wedding at Silent Waters
and have their family and friends within easy commuting distance
of their villa headquarters property. If it is a wedding on the
beach --- then Pineapple Beach - just 2 miles away- is a private
beach available for renting for the ceremony.
The paved entrance road is elegantly landscaped
with stately Royal Palms. Black and gold wrought iron gates designed
by the owner and brought from Thailand mark the entrance to the
property. Hand-carved teak doors from Bali lead to multiple interior
areas in textures of Travertine marble, Brazilian granite, cedar
and teak. Colorful gardens are accented with ancient carved Balinese,
Burmese, Thai and Chinese statuary. Serene lily ponds and turquoise
pools stocked with koi fish, separate various living spaces within
the villa compound … heavenly for yoga retreat. There is
no road access to the densely-wooded property above Silent Waters.
Privacy is assured. Sophisticated electronic security and video
monitors ensure that only invited parties may enter the villa
compound.
The hub of the villa compound is the 900-square-foot
Main Pavilion. A few steps across the terrace are the breakfast
gazebo, dining room and open-air bar with television with VCR
and DVD and cushioned seating for 22. An 80' infinity edge reflection
pool wraps around the al fresco breakfast gazebo and dining pavilion.
A garden path leads up the mountain to the very private owner's
villa which accommodates two more guests. Maximum occupancy at
Silent waters including the owner's villa is 20 guests.
Main Pavilion:
100 feet of sliding glass doors disappear into pocket walls to
open the central Pavilion to a breathtaking panorama of sea, sky
and mountains. The Pavilion opens to a marble terrace, infinity-edge
swimming pool and sunning area overlooking the Caribbean Sea and
Montego Bay.
A pair of 17th Century Buddhist temple attendant
statues stand guard over the Main Pavilion to ensure guests' peace
and serenity… as well as an 18th Century Thai Bible Chest
and 17th Century Burmese Buddhist monastery bell. The Pavilion
also includes a 48-inch television, surround sound home theater
with VCR and DVD and 200 CD - disk programmable surround-sound
music system.
A special feature here is the Yamaha Disklavier
DC2 II XG 5'8" baby grand piano of highly polished dark walnut.
The Mark II SG series system utilizes standard MIDI files on floppy
disk or CD ROM. This is the worldwide most acclaimed player piano
… the same system composers and recording artists use to
write and record. Recording and composing software are available
in the adjacent computer. The Pentium III computer also enables
immediate Internet access and is programmed with games for adults
and children.
Dining and Entertaining:
The Head Chef is one of Silent Waters' greatest prizes. From his
state-of-the-art commercial kitchen and grill, he creates a repertoire
of artistically presented Continental, Nouveau and Caribbean cuisine.
The primary dining area can be glass enclosed or open on 3 sides.
Reached by stone stepping pods traversing the reflection pool,
the dining pavilion is located in a wraparound reflecting pool
and has a 330-degree view of Montego Bay and the sea as well as
the exquisitely landscaped grounds. The dining table is a rare
rainbow-colored 15-foot slab of Brazilian Bahian granite. Seated
dinners here can accommodate 14 guests. For more casual dining
(or for overflow from the main dining pavilion), the Gazebo (also
in the reflecting pool) commands a 360-degree view and can accommodate
nine guests for seated meals.
A spacious bar and entertainment area around the
pool enable hosting of an intimate cocktail party … seated
dinner for 50 guests … or a gala al fresco cocktail party
for 150 guests or more. Event costs vary depending on menu and
guest count.
