A personal server, who can advise on wine pairings, presents an exclusive menu prepared by the chef.

Environmental Program
Since its early days of being adapted for use as a resort, the buildings of Jumby Bay have been constructed with the purpose of being respectful to the environment. All buildings make use of the most durable and proven materials for this climate, including plaster faced concrete and block walls, rot-resistant wood doors, windows and framing. The finish materials have also been chosen to maximize durability and reduced maintenance. The 300-acre island has also implemented one of the most advanced utility systems, including a power, desalination plant and sewer treatment, all of which are self-contained, in the Caribbean and produces its own electricity and water. The island conserves its environment with the same passion. The only forms of transport are golf cart and bicycle, and an island nursery propagates thousands of trees, exotic flowers and native plants. The plant debris from throughout the island is also composted locally. Great care is taken to ensure the reef is not endangered, and the beaches have been set-aside as protected nesting areas for the critically endangered Hawksbill turtle.
