Round Hill Resort and Villas
This ultimate legendary resort just gets better. Round Hill
offers absolute luxury. This world-famous estate was conceived by well-known
Jamaican entrepreneur, John Pringle. The 100-acre peninsula was part of
Lord Monson's Round Hill Estate which was first a sugar plantation and
later changed over to coconuts and pimento (all spice) which are still
produced today.

Twenty-nine acres were subdivided and prominent American and European
socialites were invited to build "cottages" and invest in the hotel. Shareholders
have included Noel Coward, Adele Astaire, Bill Paley, Lord and Lady Ednam,
Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Hammerstein, Clive Brook, Jack and Natasha Wilson,
the Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Tiarks and Viscount
and Viscountess Rothermere. Many celebrities and socialites vacation at
Round Hill including Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, Michael Douglas, Joan
Collins
.
The hotel operates on the same basis today with 27 villas being owned
by individual "shareholders". Each villa is owned by someone rich or famous.
When the owners are not in residence the cottages are available for rent
either as individual suites or complete two, three or four-bedroom cottages
with or without pool. Villas have been formerly owned by legends like
Paul Newman and Bing Crosby. A more affordable alternative is a room at
Round Hill's Pineapple House Hotel.

What They Are Saying About Round Hill
- "Winner of the 2002 World's Leading Villa Award" - TRAVEL WORLD NEWS
- "Today, there is something endearingly unglitzy about Round Hill.
It is still one of the world's great resorts, but its character is curiously
low-key, even slightly old-fashioned in the nicest sense...Harrison
Ford and Melissa Manchester come en famille, as does Paul McCartney."
- CONDE NAST TRAVELER
- "From the beginning, Round Hill has attracted a high-octane clientele.
JFK and Jackie honeymooned there. CBS Chairman, William Paley, and playwrite/songwriter
Noel Coward were among the original owners. Today Ralph Lauren is a
shareholder. The Hollywood connection remains strong..." - FORTUNE
