Geejam, Port Antonio Geejam is the kind of stylish boutique hotel you’d imagine appeals to publicity-shy celebrities, but it’s not just the isolated location and intimate surroundings that draws stars close. “Geejam is a magical destination for those not looking to escape life but inspire it,” says co-owner Jon Baker, who developed the property at the foot of the Blue Mountains along with fellow music industry veteran Steve Beaver. Located on the property is Geejam Studios, which attracts world-renowned music and creative artists, who can record an album, rent out the studio, or have customizable workspaces set up at their private villa — a stay-and-play setup much in the tradition of George Martin’s Air Studios in Montserrat in the 70s and Chris Blackwell’s Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas in the 1980s. “Anything is possible at Geejam,” says Baker, and for guests (artistic and otherwise) that includes rooms, cabins and villas adorned with local artwork and vintage photos, drinks and dining at the poolside Bush Bar (which of course has a state-of-the-art sound system and a DJ booth in a treehouse), a cove beach, and a fitness center.
