When World Bride Magazine set out to explore Jamaica, W.I., we were met with an island of breathtaking contrasts—from majestic mountains to the brilliant Caribbean Sea. With countless resorts and private villas, choosing where to stay can be overwhelming. But we found a true hidden gem: Villa Della Palmares, a private sanctuary tucked in the hills of Montego Bay.
Owned, designed, and landscaped by Claudia W. Moran, this hilltop retreat offers sweeping views of lush greenery and the ocean beyond. It’s an ideal escape for couples looking to unwind after months of wedding planning. Whether lounging by the expansive pool or strolling through its manicured gardens, the villa offers peace, privacy, and luxury in equal measure.


Claudia’s thoughtful attention to detail and warm hospitality make the experience unforgettable. The villa features two elegantly appointed bedrooms with spa-like en-suite bathrooms, as well as a charming “Tiny House” designed to give guests a taste of minimalist, intimate living.
“Tiny houses were becoming quite popular,” Claudia shared. “I wanted couples to experience that closeness—it’s something they really enjoy.”
Conveniently located just 15 minutes from Montego Bay Airport, Villa Della Palmares offers seamless access with chauffeured transfers. Guests can explore nearby resorts for fine dining or venture into downtown “MoBay” to soak up the vibrant local culture. Reggae music pulses through the streets, and the island’s famous cuisine is never far away.


Jamaica has long been a haven for artists, musicians, and travelers seeking inspiration and relaxation. Its welcoming spirit, tropical climate, and rich cultural heritage continue to draw visitors from around the world. And at Villa Della Palmares, guests discover more than just a place to stay—they find a home away from home.
The villa’s glowing five-star reviews reflect the magical experiences shared by couples who return again and again—not just for the beauty of the property, but for the way Claudia makes them feel truly cared for.So, if you’re looking to turn your honeymoon or romantic getaway into something extraordinary, Villa Della Palmares should be at the top of your list.
