treasure beach
A community where you’re not just a visitor, you’re a neighbor.
Treasure Beach isn’t a tourist destination. It’s a living, breathing village on Jamaica’s south coast where ancestry, community, and creativity flow as freely as the sea breeze. This is a place where roots run deep, home to generations of families who can trace their lineage to shipwrecked Scots and Irish who mixed with the native Taino people.
Here, the land tells a different story, one untouched by plantation history, allowing a distinct sense of ease, freedom, and belonging to thrive. You feel it in the air, in the quiet dignity of the people, in the warm greetings exchanged on morning walks.
This is a fishing village, yes, but it is also a creative haven, a refuge for artists, farmers, and dreamers alike. The rhythm of life here is gentle and communal. People build together, heal together, and celebrate together. After Hurricane Beryl, it was the people of Treasure Beach who rebuilt—shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart.
To arrive in Treasure Beach is to be invited into a model of coexistence. A place where visitors are welcomed with genuine kindness, and where value is co-created, not imposed. It is your home for a moment, not just of hospitality, but of beautiful harmony.
