Villa
Lovely Hikaru has undergone a very sensitive renovation, honoring the striking modern clean lines, while adding some new touches overseen by our very talented designer Sophie and her Building Team under the direction of Mr Luke. We now have 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, 3 of which featuring outdoor stone showers, a new kitchen house with polished concrete floors and counters, a much larger open living room with built in concrete couches, restored original vintage Quaker furnishings, ceilings opened to the metal roof lined with white tongue in groove board, African fabric covered furniture, new locally made Ratan lighting, high efficiency white 3- blade ceiling fans, and AC units in the 6 bedrooms (for those who want them- many will not so that they can be soothed by the ocean/mountain bree...Lovely Hikaru has undergone a very sensitive renovation, honoring the striking modern clean lines, while adding some new touches overseen by our very talented designer Sophie and her Building Team under the direction of Mr Luke. We now have 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, 3 of which featuring outdoor stone showers, a new kitchen house with polished concrete floors and counters, a much larger open living room with built in concrete couches, restored original vintage Quaker furnishings, ceilings opened to the metal roof lined with white tongue in groove board, African fabric covered furniture, new locally made Ratan lighting, high efficiency white 3- blade ceiling fans, and AC units in the 6 bedrooms (for those who want them- many will not so that they can be soothed by the ocean/mountain breezes and the sound of the crashing waves). You will now enjoy a covered chic seating area on the lower seaside facing terrace, and a covered front porch with built in seating. We will certainly preserve the many wonderful mid-century features of this home. Villa Hikaru is pleased to announce the completion of a second bedroom (with a bunk bed) in Garfield Cottage! This separate cottage located just behind the main villa has been gorgeously restored into the perfect tiny house, offering an embracing space for four additional guests with their own kitchenette, bathroom, a screened porch off of each bedroom and deck! It has been named Garfield Cottage in loving memory of one of the owner's Jamaican born physician father who loved such structures. This is only rented with the main villa to assure your privacy during your stay. With the addition of Garfield Cottage Villa Hikaru now comfortably houses 12! And we are thrilled to say we've gone solar which means we are fully powered by the Jamaican sunshine! This unspoiled area is one of the few fisherman's villages that welcomes tourist -- not a tourist area that tolerates fishermen. Our six-bedroom beachfront villa includes a 50-foot lap pool, private tennis and croquet courts, and wonderful cook-housekeepers. You can walk deserted beaches, or snorkel, body-surf, or fish. You can photograph and share the lives of our fishermen neighbors; or you can enjoy the privacy of an acre-plus lot, shielded by trees and flowers. Privacy: We're in a fishing village, but shielded by heavy plantings on an acre and a quarter. And you even pick your own tropical fruit! Our village neighbors will welcome you if you choose to visit, but will not intrude. Watch for returning fishing boats from our patio, then walk 300 yards to the harbor to watch fish weighed and sold -- and bring some home! Or walk to the west over a series of all-but-deserted beaches, half-mile scallops of sandy beach separated by reef spurs you can climb over or wade over in reef shoes. We allow two tradespeople -- a basket maker and wood carver -- to come into the back yard to show their wares. Miss Venecia will tell you they're there; it you say no thanks, they'll pack up and leave. You can walk a hundred yards down our lane, if you'd like, to learn to play grown-up dominoes at a neighbor's bar. Touristic things: Our groundskeeper leads a walk into the hills behind us, pointing out birds and orchids. You can drive to Black River, or hire a local boatman, to see the historic slave-trading block, visit the colorful local outdoor market, or -- best of all -- go up the river a few miles, through mangrove forests and open marshlands occupied by colorful birds and crocodiles. On the way home, stop at the famous Pelican Bar for a drink. The night sky and views : With almost no light pollution, the stars are brilliant. Go for a midnight dip in the pool, but once there turn the pool lights off to enjoy the magnificent sky. Only one Dipper at a time to the north; the Southern Cross rising over the ocean during the night. Our wide patio catches an onshore breeze most of the day, and gives you a panoramic view of the Caribbean at your doorstep so wide you'll have to turn your head to take it all in. All this while Miss Venesia and Miss Elesha keep house for you, shop and prepare and serve all meals, and make it a very special vacation.

heaven on earth
the villa is beautiful, comfortable, perfectly situated and user friendly , the staff is thoughtful and lovely, the locale is serene and stunning- this alchemy all adds up to heaven on earth. there's room for a large family to spread out in magic nooks and crannies allover the property then reconvene at mealtimes. we can't imagine a better set up. plus-the team at treasure tours is a dream.

Perfect mid century modern ocean villa with incredible staff and cuisine
First, let’s talk about the staff. The cooks preparing your breakfast and dinner can out cook any of the restaurants we visited. Everything was so fresh whether it was from the ocean or the tropical trees. The fresh fish and shellfish were only hours from the ocean and AMAZING! Each day the pool is cleaned early in the morning, all the sidewalks and steps are swept, your beds are made and turn down at night. Yes, they spoil you. The staff couldn’t be nicer and I recommend spending some time visiting with them. The photos of this ocean villa do not do it justice. Perfect location for a group of friends or family vacationing together. The common area is a spacious living room with French doors overlooking the even larger veranda that is steps from the ocean. The bedrooms, off the veranda, are spacious, beautifully decorated, and each have an outdoor shower off of its private bathroom. If all this wasn’t enough, there were private areas scattered throughout the estate to enjoy a book or grab some me time. The beach is quite private as we only saw some local kids snorkeling in the reef and occasionally playing soccer.There is a mix of sandy beach and reef so there is plenty to keep you entertained. The few times that the ocean was too rough to swim we used the lap pool. A short distance away there are some small local dining spots that are worth visiting. The booking agent for this villa also arranged a boat tour of the Black River and a car to take us to local scenic points. This place is an incredible value as we have never had a more beautiful place to stay or better food and yet paid less then we have on previous vacations.

Paradise!
I spent a wonderful relaxing week with a group at the villa this February. The minute I saw the Treasure Beach fishing boat on the side of the road I knew I was entering a magical place and immediately felt a sense of peace. Treasure Tours took care of everything. All of our arrangements from the rides to and from the airport, groceries for the week, tours and taxi rides were flawless. Kudos to Rebecca and her team! They work hard to make sure everything is on point and were just a phone call away if we needed anything. Our rides were always there on time (most of the time they were early!) and the drivers were very professional. The villa was very clean and comfortable with many seating areas from which to enjoy the ocean views. Not once did I use my room air conditioning, enjoying the ocean breeze at night. Every morning, the hummingbirds visited the many beautiful flowers located on the property. The staff was wonderful. They were very accommodating and friendly. The food was excellent! We enjoyed lobster, coconut shrimp, Ackee, fried chicken, festival, pumpkin rice and many other delicious Jamaican delicacies. Fresh fruits and freshly squeezed orange juice was served every morning with breakfast. The beach was peaceful and I took many walks on the beach, feeling safe while doing so. The hut down by the beach was a treat! I would recommend the villa to anyone who wants a peaceful vacation in a quaint, friendly, safe, seaside area. I would definitely vacation here again.

Perfection on Jamaica's South Coast
My second visit to the Villa Hikaru in Treasure Beach was just as stellar as the first. The villa and gardens are simply stunning, the food is delicious, then the vibes are chill. The location cannot be beat, right on the best part of Billy's Bay beach. Patrick, Elesha and Nadine took great care of us and we can't wait to go back to see them next year for another perfect, relaxing vacation.

Paradise on Billy's Bay
My husband and I have been to Treasure Beach 4 times and this is our 2nd year in a row staying at Villa Hikaru. 4 out of 8 of us are returning and 2 new friends are experiencing Treasure Beach for the first time. My husband and I are becoming regulars and always look forward to sharing this quiet paradise with others. Treasure Tours always makes planning our group vacation as simple as possible and the staff at Hikaru takes it from there. The prepared meals are to die for, our rooms are just perfect, the grounds are very well maintained. These are the "basics" every traveler comes to expect, what they don't imagine is becoming a part of the family and community! The conversations, laughing and teasing, attention to details, fresh poolside coconuts, meeting their family members....it goes on and on. This is not a crowded, tourist-filled resort area. It is a SAFE, quiet fishing and farming community that takes pride in welcoming vacationers and including them in their true Jamaican culture and lifestyle. All that you do during your stay directly supports their community and that's a great feeling! I could write forever, but I think it's better for you to experience Treasure Beach and Villa Hikaru yourself, you will not be disappointed!!

There is no place like Villa Hikaru
Our group of eight adults had the most amazing week at Villa Hikaru. The location and accommodations are unmatched and everything from pre-arrival through departure was outstanding. The Treasure Tours staff were friendly and helpful during the booking process. Our guests count kept changing and it was no problem for them to adjust the plans and payments. About a week before we arrived we corresponded about the food and menu. Every email was prompt and included all the answers we needed. It is always a little nerve-wracking to set up a reservation somewhere you’ve never been and pay thousands of dollars in advance but the outstanding customer service calmed any doubts we had. When we arrived at the villa the staff were friendly and welcoming. Their kindness only grew throughout our stay. Venesia and Elesha cooked the most amazing meals. We were not picky about the menu and said we wanted to try all the cook’s specialties. We were treated to breakfast feasts of omelets, pancakes, ackee, toast, bacon, fresh-squeezed orange juice, fruit platters and more. For dinner, we devoured fried chicken, coconut shrimp, lobster, curried goat, escovitch fish, rice and peas, vegetables and more. There was always a little sweet treat for dessert too. The women cooked breakfast and dinner but there were plenty of leftovers so we could raid the refrigerator for afternoon snacks. We spent our days swimming in the pool, wading in the ocean and relaxing in the many different seating areas. In the evening we played games, enjoyed some beers and listened to the waves. Patrick was around every day keeping the grounds beautiful and checking up on us. He never tired of answering our questions about Jamaican culture, food, plants, wildlife, history, etc. We loved getting to know him and learning about his life in Treasure Beach. One afternoon we were ambitious and walked the two miles to Jack Sprat’s bar. It was fun to see the center of town but we had everything we could want at the villa and hardly left again. We used the four bedrooms in the main building and the one bedroom cottage out front. The rooms were contemporary, clean and comfortable. Each room had its own bathroom with toilet, sink and shower. Three of the showers were outdoors with large rainfall showerheads. We loved rinsing off with a beautiful view of the oceans. This vacation will be hard to top but if we could change anything, it would be the depth of the ocean. The water only goes up to about your waist before there is a rocky reef that spans the length of the beach. You would need sturdy water shoes to get over it and find the deeper water (Assuming the water is safe for swimming that day. Patrick would be the guide for that.). While we missed getting dunked in the ocean, the pristine water and sand more than made up for the lack of depth.

A retro gem in Billy's Bay!
Apparently one of the first villas in the area, it has been smartly renovated to maintain that retro 60's feel so it feels authentic with personality, with the comforts of modern day (wifi, air conditioning). The property is expansive with beautiful gardens in keeping with the Treasure Beach vibe, including a stunning golden poinsienna tree. While there's lots of places to hang out on the property, the cabana area is really the most comfortable-- perfect place to read, nap, or look out at the ocean with a drink. The rooms are comfortable, but the outdoor showers are really unique. One has a fabulous view of the ocean. A short walk down to the beach-- and the best swimming area is right in front of the villa. Most times you have the beach all to yourself-- the public access is right beside the villa, so sometimes you're treated to sharing the beach with locals. A short walk on the beach leads you to a restaurant with a pool and a great view -- if you feel like leaving the villa (not that you need to!). This villa would be ideal for larger groups of 6+. We'll be back with friends! Note: this property has a lot of steps-- to access the pool and beach. Would be difficult for those with limited mobility.

5 Star Amazingness All-Around
Villa Hikaru exceeded all of my expectations. The villa itself is so beautifully designed, it has many spots to hang out in alone or as a group. It is spotlessly cleaned and I loved the very Instagram friendly decor and views. It is truly a magical place. Very quiet and private. The staff is just wonderful, Venesia, Elesha and Patrick and everyone at Treasure Tours took great care of us. The food was so so good. Treasure Beach is a must-go for me every Spring and I look forward to returning again next year.

Beautiful oceanfront retreat
Words can't fully describe this incredible gem. The Villa has a great floor plan with so many areas to sit, each with a unique "feel" to them, yet all so beautiful and relaxing. We thought, at first, that we wouldn't like the pool being away from the house, but this turned out to be one of our favorite things about the villa. I mean, how can you complain when your pool is steps away from the ocean?! This also helped to work off the massive amounts of the most incredible food consumed over 7 days. Vanessa and Elisha had their work cut out for them, feeding 8 very hearty appetites and boy did they step up to the challenge! They've never seen so much food consumed by guests and each meal won 5 stars by our group! Patrick was a treat, too, always hearing him singing as he took care of the grounds and bringing us fresh coconuts all week, telling stories and introducing us to his grand daughter. He also joined us at the Singing Chef, providing us with songs while we dined, boy he sure loves to sing! I have to say, the staff is now considered part of our family. We shared some special, at times spiritual, moments with them and we can't thank them enough for making this amazing trip with our friends one truly incredible memory. We look forward to seeing everyone again and thank you for all that you did for us and with us.

About the neighbourhood
The village of Billy's Bay is one of 5 villages located within Treasure Beach. Billy's Bay consists of a small stretch of road and a larger stretch of beach. It is mostly a residential area, however, local shops, restaurants and bars are in the village. We encourage you to walk out and enjoy the food served at the local cook shops, grab a cold Red Stripe at a local bar and sit down to play a game of dominoes with some new found friends. Walk down the beach to where the fishing boats are moored and see as the catch of the day is being brought in. There are several tours and experiences available in the area. As the Home of Community Tourism we encourage you to get out and experience true Jamaican life.
Getting around
Most everything is a 5 – 30 minute walk away. However, here are a few other options for getting around town. To get around you may rent bicycles or scooters or call us to arrange a ride. The cost for bicycle rental is around $25 US per day per bicycle. Bicycle tours are available. The cost for scooters is $40 US per day per scooter or $35 US per day for rentals 3 days or more. Scooter tours are available. If you are not into bicycles or scooters and need a ride into town we Treasure Tours can arrange for one of our drivers to pick you up.
