Curator’s statement

Jumby Bay holds a special place in my heart because it was where we celebrated my dad's 80th birthday with our extended family of nine. Staying in a private villa, we experienced impeccable service and unforgettable moments. Our butler, Nyoki, anticipated our every need, and Chef Garrett's culinary creations were nothing short of amazing. From the breathtaking views to the fun-filled activities like tennis, snorkeling and the kids club, every detail was perfect. It was a celebration that created lasting memories in a truly beautiful setting.
