Welcome to Round Hill Hotel and Villas

Round Hill offers unparalleled luxury in a private setting.

In the early 1950s, Jamaican businessman John Pringle bought 98 acres on a peninsula eight miles west of Montego Bay, then sold shares of the former pineapple plantation to his celebrity friends.

The result was a luxurious resort named Round Hill that quickly became a favorite hideaway for movie stars of that era.

John and Jackie Kennedy honeymooned at Round Hill.

Round Hill's ties to the rich and famous continue to this day. Recent celebrity guests have included Paul McCartney and Michael Douglas.

Most notable, however, is designer Ralph Lauren, who owns one of the villas. While the villas were decorated by their owners, Lauren recently redecorated the hotel’s interiors, using an abundance of the color white to create a crisp, clean feeling.

Today, Round Hill is a real-life Garden of Eden that sprawls across 110 acres. The luxurious accommodations are set amidst lush, tropical grounds.

Guests can enjoy open-air dining on the terrace, swim in three fabulous pools, play tennis on five all-weather tennis courts, be pampered at the spa, and have breakfast prepared by their own private staff. In short, Round Hill offers honeymooners the chance to enjoy unparalleled luxury in an extremely private setting.
