The Tyrall Club has officially unveiled its brand new spa, The Spa at Tryall, earlier this month. The private luxury property in Montego Bay, Jamaica is shifting its amenities to include more wellness-leaning offerings to cater to guests looking to truly unwind and find inner peace while on vacation.
“From the lush forests and serene beachside to the laid-back culture, Jamaica naturally evokes a sense of serenity and relaxation,” explained spa creator Leesa Jones, who was appointed to lead the project, bringing over two decades of exclusive spa experience to the club.
“By working with local partners, including a Jamaican architect, we are proud to bring that energy to our guests who visit The Spa at Tryall through distinctive new treatments, sounds, and style.”
The new space includes a variety of innovative and classic rejuvenating treatments, including sound therapy, yoga meditation, massage treatments, facials, guided breathing, and more offerings to evoke relaxation.
The spa has also leaned into a ‘farm-to-spa’ concept that will include the use of herbs and spices from the on-site garden for treatments and beverages. It will also include local products from a wellness CBD line that uses plants grown right on the farm.
Designed by local architect Nancy Maffessanti, who worked alongside her father when building the original resort in the late 1950s, the sprawling spa has traditional Jamaican design with local artisanship that stays true to the original concept of the property. The handmade treatment sinks were created by local potter David Pintom while the prints and art throughout the space was curated by Jamaican artist Patrick Waldemar.

Prime Minister Andrew Holness will deliver the Keynote Address during the Live Celebration of Global Tourism Resilience Day on the final day of the second Global Tourism Resilience Day Conference. Minister Bartlett will also address the high-level summit. This year’s staging follows Jamaica’s efforts to bolster resilience in global tourism by proposing the official designation of February 17th as Global Tourism Resilience Day annually, which yielded great success, as the United Nations (UN) ratified the move last February to facilitate its observance globally. The much-anticipated conference will be attended by government ministers from several countries, policy advisors, academics, executives of several international organisations, international business leaders, among other key stakeholders. The event forms part of efforts by the Ministry of Tourism and its tourism partners, including the Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre (GTRCMC), to boost resilience in global tourism. The Prime Minister’s address will be followed by remarks by international speakers from Malaga, Spain, Kenya, and Saudi Arabia. Following a brief book launch, a Ministerial Round Table discussion will be held with UN Tourism Secretary-General H.E. Zurab Pololikashvili and representatives from across the globe.
