The historic Round Hill hotel and villa resort opened its doors in 1952. Conceived by John Pringle, a visionary Jamaican-born entrepreneur, it was designed as a private haven for celebrities and hosting the likes of John F. Kennedy, Paul Newman, and Bob Hope.
The resort is surrounded by pristine natural beaches and investors contributed to building the hotel, while also constructing their own private cottages on the estate.
Originally a pineapple plantation also growing sugarcane and coconuts, Round Hill now boasts over one hundred acres of beautifully manicured grounds. Its lush landscape features tropical flowers, stately palms, and graceful colonial architecture. The resort cascades down the peninsula, leading to a crescent-shaped golden sand beach.
The rooms, designed by Ralph Lauren, evoke carefree beach living. Expect white stone floors, romantic four-poster beds draped in muslin, and oversize bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs and cascading rain showers blends seamlessly with the relaxed island vibe.
