THE TRUE NORTH presents… Bessa Beachfront Suite | 2BR | Oracabessa ➠ U74

Where the Caribbean Sea meets the Jacks River—and nature takes center stage.

Set along the Oracabessa Fish Sanctuary, this two-bedroom residence offers something few beachfront stays can match: direct access to one of Jamaica’s most carefully protected stretches of coastline, where seasonal conservation activities include the release of turtle hatchlings into the sea.

Inside, 1,300 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space opens onto a private terrace with ocean views. Two King bedrooms sit on either side of the shared living and dining area, while a sleeper sofa brings the total occupancy to six. The fully equipped kitchen makes longer stays feel effortless, while a collection of board games, curated teas, and personal touches from the owners gives the residence the warmth of a home.

Located entirely on the first floor, the residence is just steps from the Bessa front desk and surrounded by eight acres of preserved tropical landscape. Settle in, feel at home, and stay longer than you planned.

Within easy reach:

• James Bond Beach — approximately 5 minutes away
• GoldenEye — Ian Fleming’s former estate, now a Chris Blackwell resort with restaurants and beach facilities
• Galina Lighthouse — a short drive along the coast
• Firefly — Noël Coward’s former hilltop home, approximately 15 minutes away
• Ocho Rios area — including Dunn’s River Falls, Mystic Mountain, Shaw Park Gardens, and Fern Gully, approximately 20–30 minutes away

Who This Home Is For

This residence is especially well suited for:

• Two couples traveling together, with a King bedroom for each couple
• Families with children, with the sleeper sofa providing additional flexibility
• Couples seeking a peaceful, nature-forward escape
• Travelers interested in marine conservation and the seasonal turtle releases
• Longer and mid-term stays where a full kitchen and in-unit laundry make a meaningful difference

This residence is a better fit for travelers seeking the privacy and independence of a personal home with resort support than for those looking for a traditional all-inclusive experience.
