To mark the release of the 25th instalment of Britain’s most beloved spy franchise, you can live the life of luxury espionage in a stunning villa on the island of Jamaica. See: Inside the stunning former Bahamas estate of Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII Fleming Villa was where the author of the iconic series of spy novels spent time while working on his books. Boasting picturesque views of the Caribbean Sea, the villa sits along the stunning beachfront of GoldenEye Resort. Whether you want to laze in a hammock slung between the trees, or float across the lagoon-like shallows of the swimming pool, this home is the epitome of luxury. Amenities include tennis, yoga, and water sport equipment for exploring the idyllic surrounds and the villa is also equipped with its own private butler service and a personal chef. The interiors are stylish and easy breezy, reflecting the laidback nature of the island; think whitewashed rafters, dark wood and botanical prints. The bedrooms are peaceful, relaxing sanctuaries with polished concrete floors and epic views over the azure ocean. The master bathroom is also a bohemian yet refined space, offering double sink area and local wood-crafted vanity units. There’s also an indulgent outdoor bath so you can take a soak and star-gaze at the same time. If you’re a James Bond fan, or simply like the finer things in life, other locations fit for a spy on Airbnb include a chalet in the Italian Alps that sits 3,000 metres above the town of Bormio, and a glass-walled, hillside villa in Cape Town. Bond fans can also take their ‘mission’ one step further on Airbnb by indulging in a whole range of experiences across the globe. From speedboats and supercars, to skiing and tailored suits, there’s everything needed to live the lifestyle of the secret agent. Is it martini time yet? We take ours shaken, not stirred… See: Page8 hotel teams up with National Portrait Gallery for upcoming David Hockney exhibition
