Bessa | Riverfront 2BR Loft, Private Roof Terrace ➠ U11

THE TRUE NORTH presents… Bessa River Loft | 2BR + Rooftop Terrace ➠ U11

Set across two levels above Jacks River — the river below, the tropical canopy around you, Jamaica all yours — the Bessa River Loft is the most expansive residence at The Riverside. With 1,941 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space, two bedrooms, and a private rooftop terrace, the loft is built for couples traveling with kids or friends — the King bedroom and Twin-bed second room split naturally — and designed for guests who want more room to settle in and more ways to experience the landscape.

From the rooftop, the river and tropical canopy sit at eye level. Below, The Riverside's dedicated riverbank pool is surrounded by bamboo and lush tropical foliage, creating one of the most peaceful and immersive settings at Bessa.

A Loft Above the River

Bessa combines the privacy of a private residence with the support of managed hospitality. River Suite guests have their own space to settle into, while an on-site team is available to arrange the details of a more effortless stay — from private chef service and in-villa massage to transportation and other personalized requests.
