Mikarabee is snuggled at the top of the Santa Cruz Mountains, 2,700 feet above sea level, just outside the sleepy town of Malvern. Malvern boasts one of the world's healthiest climates, its air fresh and clean. From Mikarabee you will see some of the most amazing sunsets and breathtaking views of Jamaica's South Coast.

Being at the top of the mountain, Mikarabee has the privileged pivotal point from which you can explore. Drive 25 minutes down one side of the mountain and you will find yourself in Treasure Beach, a string of sleepy fishing coves, bays and untouched beaches. The people of Treasure Beach are laid back and friendly, and there are plenty of good places to eat. For more information about Treasure Beach, click on the link www.treasurebeach.net

A 20 minute drive down the other side of the mountain, heading inland, will take you into Santa Cruz. Home to approximately 4,000 people, this busy market town is a definite 'must visit' place if you want to pick up a bargain and barter with the locals. They are friendly, fast talking and fun!!

Drive down the mountain for 25 minutes in another direction and you will find yourself in Black River, the capital town of St Elizabeth. Full of history and rich culture, it's an authentic market town and is home to various safari tour operators, all waiting to take you for a trip down the river to shake hands with some crocodiles.
