Jamaica Inn

A family-run resort with a star-studded history, the Jamaica Inn has dedicated more than 65 years to tenderly caring for every visitor, from the hawksbill turtles who nest on its crescent-shaped beach to the likes of Sir Winston Churchill, who often retreated to its White Suite. Serenity and simplicity permeate every corner of the resort, from the spa’s cliffside saltwater sea bath to the bay-view terrace, a cocktail lounge where Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller toasted to their honeymoon. The resort maintains its low-key atmosphere by serving adults and kids ages 10 and up, and by nixing in-room televisions in favor of ocean views in every accommodation.
