The Vibe: Private hideaway with celebrity credentials

If you think the name Goldeneye sounds familiar, look no further than the iconic James Bond novels, all of which were penned by Ian Fleming at this very location. This is the original estate built by the British author outside of Oracabessa in the 1950s; a private hideaway that has played host to the glitterati and literati for decades. Fleming’s original villa (with the writing desk just as he left it) forms the centrepiece of the property, along with other suites and cottages, some with straight-to-sand access. Activities to bear in mind? Dine al fresco in the Gazebo restaurant perched amongst the tree tops or kayak right on over to the spa.
