Round Hill has a distinctive style that is noticable as soon as you drive through the gates. Bounteous gardens, secluded golden sand beaches, a world-class spa in an 18th-century house at the edge of the sea, plenty of privacy and warm, friendly staff all add up to low-key luxury and timeless glamour. This legendary resort just gets better.

The facilities

Amenities include a fresh water pool at the edge of the Caribbean Sea, a private beach with a fully-equipped watersports center (and some complimentary services). PADI diving, deep-sea fishing boats and yachts are available for charter. Round Hill also boasts five all-weather courts (two are illuminated for evening play) for tennis.

Located at the spa is a fitness center equipped with treadmills, step master, bicycle, and free weights and personal instructor for exercise classes. One main restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner on the seaside terrace, upper terrace or Georgian Room. The cocktail bar serves afternoon tea daily, complimentary for all hotel guests.

The rooms

Guests may choose from Pineapple House with 36 superior and deluxe rooms overlooking the Caribbean Sea and Round Hill's seaside fresh water pool, or one of the 27 private villas dotted over the hillside, most with private pool. Each room invokes tropical beach living with mahogany bamboo beds and sumptuous upholstered furniture, not to mention breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea.
