MARLEY RESORT & SPA OPENS ITS DOORS TO GUESTS
Internationally Acclaimed Artistic Family Brings One Love in the Bahamas
The Marley family officially opened the new, 16-suite Marley Resort & Spa in Nassau to guests on July 4th, 2008. The resort is an experience of art, history and spiritual sensibility where discerning travelers will be drawn to this hideaway for its blend of exquisite natural beauty, romantic heritage and rustic luxury.
"So many people celebrate my father's music and see that his message is prolific and still relevant today," daughter Stephanie Marley explained. "They keep his spirit alive. In return, we are inspired to share our piece of paradise here in a place we once called home."
Inspiration comes easy at this Island hideaway, once a governor's mansion. Rita Marley purchased the property after falling in love with it at first sight and the family used it as a summer getaway for many years. Today, it echoes the path of the Marley family.
An intimate world-class sanctuary, the Marley Resort & Spa celebrates the enduring creative spirit and traditions of the Marley family. Located on the private and secluded stretch of famed Cable Beach in Nassau, the resort is an elegant microcosm of African and Caribbean style with sculptured hand- carved doors, mosaic tiles, intricate stonework and sandstone walls. Its 16 luxurious themed suites blend the warmth of history with the ultimate in comfort and convenience, and unparalleled service.
Amid Nassau’s atmosphere of relaxed and artful living, Marley Resort & Spa is a true haven for travelers. Spanning past and present, its accommodations and amenities are as beautiful and unusual as its setting.
"Come and experience this nostalgic, mystical piece of paradise we once called home," they urge visitors. "Embrace our feeling of 'One Love' and 'One Heart' in only 'One Place'."
Generations of Marley music infuses the entire resort. Each of the 16 themed suites center around Bob Marley’s song titles, including Kinky Reggae, Nice Time, and Kaya, among others. Suites feature the ultimate in comfort, chic furnishings and up-to-the-minute amenities. Tropical rain showers, sumptuous whirlpool tubs, flat-screen televisions, high-speed internet and in-room Bose entertainment systems come standard. Unparalleled service, a result of a greater than 2-1 staff-to-guest ratio-begins the moment guests are greeted at the airport and continues throughout their stay.
For even greater luxury, three Royal Suites push the pampering to new heights. Royal Rita features a signature Royal Chaise Lounge, rich mahogany furniture, African prints, hardwood floors, and oceanfront views. Legend is designed with the King in mind, offering a separate living room, a signature Marley bed, private balcony, hardwood floors and fully stocked wet bar. One Love, the resort’s signature honeymoon suite, has an intimate, in-room Jacuzzi tub for two, dual rainfall showers and stellar views.
To ensure attention to the smallest detail, a personal concierge service is available along with in-room dining. A host of excursions – from diving to dolphin encounters – are available. Some guests may choose to stay in-house and lounge in the two, free-form swimming pools, or on the stunning beach. The resort also retains a "love expert," who helps with wedding, honeymoon and vow-renewal packages.
Marrying Rita Marley’s passion and traditional secrets, the Natural Mystic Spa offers treatments blending ingredients from Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean, as well as Rita’s herbal bath rituals. Limestone steam therapies are on offer, along with herbal body scrubs and wraps, nail care, and hot and cold plunges. This serene space includes a greeting room, the Uprising Tea Lounge, unique water passage, massage rooms, a couple's suite and beach-hut treatment areas.
Simmer Down, the resort’s restaurant offers gourmet Caribbean cuisine with some of Bob’s favorites on the menu as well as classic family recipes. Organic produce and fresh seafood play host here, where diners have the option of sitting on the beachfront patio, interior dining room, or in the courtyard. A stage hosts various artists playing melodic renditions of Marley tunes with instruments.
The resort’s Music Gallery offers a behind-the-scenes look at Bob’s life and the Marley family’s music – a legendary passageway of his life and spirit. Also on property, the boutique features daughter Cedella Marley’s Catch-A-Fire clothing line, exclusive to the boutique, as well as the works of African, Jamaican and Bahamian artisans.
"The Marley Resort & Spa is a place where personalized service and attention to detail is our first priority. The vibe elicits the true feeling of rediscovery and relaxation,” added Stephanie. “We just hope the vibe that inspired our family will inspire each guest to live their own legend.”
Rates start at $450 per room, per night now through December 14, 2008, and based on double occupancy, include continental breakfast and subject to 22% tax and service.
