Although there are many hotels that could meet a lot of your family's needs while on vacation, let’s face it, the idea of doing everything to your own unique rhythm is its own special form of joy.

If you just happen to decide to have an impromptu 2 am game of hopscotch with the kids or organize a special paint-and-sip evening, a villa is a perfect option to have your vacation, your way.

Every family is unique and being able to choose a villa that is perfect for the special people in your life is a luxury experience.

Rest assured that any one of the properties listed on Villas by Linda Smith will have you and your loved ones well taken care of.

Let's explore the luxury villas for a perfect family vacation in Montego Bay.

Cliffside Cottage

Perhaps your family is looking for a property hidden away on the edge of the sea, with all the charm of a cozy beach cottage yet with enough space for 10.

You'll enjoy modern amenities, blending the charm of the seaside cottage with ultimate comfort.

Cliffside Cottage has breezy rooms that flow from one to the other with views of the pool perched on the cliff and the sea beyond on one side and the glittering lights of Montego Bay in the distance on the other.

The large cut-stone private terrace is the perfect spot for lazing about and catching up with open-air spa treatments and long talks.

Fun movie nights await you with a fully stocked DVD library and cable tv.

Staying at Cliffside also gives every member of the family the opportunity to spend their days filled with activities from access to nearby golf and tennis as well as fitness club with access upon request to the luxurious Tryall Club facilities, which even has its own kids club.

If you choose to hang out back at the villa, you’ll be just as pampered, as the staff will indulge you with delicious meals all day and serve you wine as much as you'd like.

Dance under the stars before you retire to your air-conditioned bedrooms with private baths for a good night’s sleep after the perfect day in paradise. 

Aqua Bay Villa

With a perfect blend of modern sensibility and the beauty of nature, the beachfront Aqua Bay Villa also has full access upon request to Tryall Club’s luxuries.

You may be hard-pressed to leave this villa with its sleek contemporary design, the warmth of wood accents, and comfortable furnishings.

Your biggest decision will simply be whether you would prefer to stay indoors or head out into the tropical sunshine.

A waterfall at the entrance of the villa ushers you through to the serenity of the large central living area with a built-in bar inviting you to lounge, while ocean access, a heated infinity pool, lap pool, hot tub, and sunny lidos call to you from outside.

Lazing about soaking up the sun while eating delicious meals prepared by the chef isn’t your only outdoor option.

With Tryall Club membership access, you’ll have a variety of other ways to play and so will the children at the Hummingbird Kids Club.

Even rainy days here leave something to look forward to with a full gym, including two Peloton bikes (just bring your shoes) with a private massage room to work on those muscles after.

For those who just want to chill, an air-conditioned, tv room with comfy seating & a 75” TV with Apple television, Amazon Fire television, and cable television call to you along with a Sonos sound system throughout the house.  

You’ll find it won’t be so easy to go home again after staying in this stunning four-bedroom villa that can sleep up to 10 quite comfortably.

Villa Christina

This stunning five-bedroom Tuscan-Esque luxury villa can accommodate 12 people quite easily and offers a range of modern amenities as well.

A fully equipped gym and Peloton bikes are available to make sure you won’t have to change your routine at all.

Simply bring your shoes and ride before stepping into the private spa area with steam facilities, plunge pool, private garden, and loungers to reward all your hard work.

Afterward, the cool, covered verandah, sun deck, heated infinity pool, and sunken sitting room are there to enhance that absolutely relaxed feeling.

The staff will be on hand to ensure that you are pampered at every moment, no matter your bliss.

Villa Christina is a golfer’s dream destination.

Ccaddies can meet you right where the villa sits on the 11^th hole to tee off on a 36-hole championship golf course, with further access to two more 18-hole golf courses, White Witch and Cinnamon Hill, all yours with membership access provided with your booking.

Access is also available to the Half Moon Beach & Tennis Club with options for all ages including lessons for both adults and children.

Book horseback riding lessons for the children. 

As you sit by the wet bar on the stunning grounds of this villa and sip a chilled glass of Pinot Grigio, you can almost believe you’re in wine country except for views of the stunning Caribbean Sea and the warm tropical breezes, in other words, the best of all worlds.

Always Sea Island

For some, being able to look around and instantly feel connected to the rich history of the island is why they choose Always Sea Island Villa again and again as their favorite family holiday getaway.

Driving through the impressive gates of the villa immediately transports you to a state of relaxation and indulgence in every moment.

Sharing days and nights with your family whether it’s by the pool with sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea or playing doubles on the property’s own private tennis court will become the only thing on your to-do list.

The wide verandah running the length of the house lends itself to evening cocktails and conversation. Chef Brenda is known to win the little ones over when she invites them to join her to help make her delicious chocolate chip cookies.

English and French colonial meet Jamaican island design underneath vaulted wooden ceilings and starry skies for delicious al fresco dining.

You’ll fall asleep to those same high ceilings in air-conditioned comfort right after showering in one of the famed sunken showers of this six-bedroom villa that can comfortably sleep 12 people with connecting rooms for the children.

The sweeping lawn is enhanced by gently swaying Royal Palms along with local tropical fruit favorites.

Seated on the cool 125-ft long, L-shaped verandah, you’ll be swept up in the graceful elegance and feeling of this beloved home away from home.

Coach House

Step into true old-world elegance in a stay at the Coach House on the Good Hope Estate, a former plantation. Although the name may seem diminutive, the seven-bedroom, private cut-stone country house on 2000 acres of glorious estate land with sweeping views is anything but.

The villa comfortably sleeps 12 people while allowing for a great deal of individual privacy. 

A large outdoor terrace compliments the 50-foot-long infinity pool with stunning views of the undulating hills of the Cockpit Country, also the perfect setting to use the outdoor movie projector on a starry night.

The fully staffed hour may tempt you to stay in this setting that feels like a slice of paradise, however, a part of the charm of the Good Hope Coach House is its access to all the Good Hope Estate has to offer.

Perfect for children of all ages (including mom and dad!), a world of activities from ATV-ing and horseback riding to their family-friendly Jungle Adventure Falls waterpark and ziplining await.

For the adults, Appleton rum tasting and even high tea can be enjoyed one afternoon. For those who crave the beach, it’s a 15-minute drive away and is meant for Good Hope guests only.

The 110-ft stretch of beach is perfect for a day that will leave the whole family ready to head back up the hill for a delicious dinner and a spectacular sunset before the kids snuggle into Netflix and chill.
