An Exclusive Look Inside Round Hill Hotel and Villas in Jamaica

Welcome to another episode of Home Away from Home! Homeworthy's founder Alison Kenworthy and her family make themselves at home in one of the most exclusive and breathtaking spots in the Caribbean—Round Hill Hotel and Villas in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Nestled on a secluded 100-acre peninsula, Round Hill is a retreat where timeless elegance meets unrivaled privacy. Just a 25-minute drive from the International Airport, it’s the perfect blend of convenience and paradise.

We’re here to discover why Round Hill has become the ultimate home away from home for so many, including legends like John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy, who honeymooned here, as well as modern stars like Justin Bieber, Penelope Cruz, and Prince Harry.

Round Hill is renowned for its impeccable service and beautiful accommodations. The Great House, a colonial-style mansion designed with breezy sophistication by Ralph Lauren, offers sweeping ocean views and a nod to the resort’s glamorous past. Lush tropical gardens bursting with bougainvillea and palm trees lead to a stunning infinity pool that seamlessly merges with the Caribbean horizon.

And today, we’re sitting down with the hotel's beloved Josef Forstmayr, who has been the managing director here for an incredible 28 years. Josef’s dedication has helped shape Round Hill into the iconic haven it is today.

Stay tuned as we dive deeper into the world of Round Hill, from its storied past to its current allure, and discover why this extraordinary resort is truly a home away from home for so many.
