Savor Jamaica's Freshest Flavors
Part of the magic of an Idle Awhile villa vacation is the opportunity to experience authentic island cuisine prepared exclusively for you by your villa’s personal chef. You can have our staff do the shopping at the local market or stock your fully equipped kitchen yourself – either way, you’ll enjoy flavorful, island-inspired meals prepared with the freshest local fruits, vegetables and seafood -- prepared just for you. A few of our favorites include:
- Local fruit plate featuring pineapple, paw-paw, banana and watermelon
- Jamaican breakfast featuring ackee and codfish with Johnny cakes and fried plantains
- Shrimp or Lobster Salad
- Jerk Chicken, cooked on an open flame
- Fish Platter featuring catch of the day
- Curried Goat, a spicy and traditional Jamaican dish
