MOËT & CHANDON PRIVATE BEACH
MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica – June 4, 2026 – Round Hill Hotel & Villas is welcoming summer 2026 with a new, exclusive partnership and a full calendar of seasonal programming. Anchoring the season is The Moët Private Beach, an adults-only activation in collaboration with Maison Moët & Chandon that brings the house’s signature champagne experience directly to Round Hill guests throughout the summer season.
"Round Hill and Moët & Chandon share a legacy built on timeless elegance and the art of celebration,” shared Round Hill Director of Sales & Marketing Josy Karabolad. “Bringing The Moët Private Beach to our guests felt like a natural pairing: two houses with deep roots, united by a commitment to creating moments that feel both effortless and extraordinary."
Open Mondays through Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., exclusively for Round Hill guests, the activation occupies the resort’s private beach alongside the expansive spa lawn. Guests can relax and linger on cushioned double daybeds shaded by Moët & Chandon-branded parasols in the house’s signature red and white. A custom-built Moët & Chandon champagne cart is stationed on the sand, offering Moët Ice Impérial and Moët Ice Impérial Rosé served in branded goblets throughout the day. The resort's white-uniformed staff attend to guests throughout the day, reflecting the standard of personal service that has defined Round Hill for over seven decades.
The partnership centers on the Ice Impérial collection, Moët & Chandon’s champagne range conceived specifically for serving over ice. The format complements Round Hill’s warm-weather Caribbean setting and the unhurried pace of a day spent at the beach.
“Our guests have an instinct for the exceptional, and so does Moët & Chandon,” said Managing Director Josef Forstmayr. “This partnership brings two storied brands together in a setting that feels true to both. The Moët Private Beach adds a new dimension to the Round Hill experience, one that reflects the caliber of hospitality our guests have come to expect and love.”
The Moët Private Beach will run throughout the summer season, with the resort's annual Fourth of July celebration serving as its marquee weekend event. A complimentary third night is available for guests booking the holiday weekend, ideal for those wishing to maximize all of the resort’s holiday offerings:

Round Hill: Your Summer Starts Here
"While Round Hill was once considered a winter getaway, we are seeing more of our discerning guests choose us as their preferred summer destination, and we understand why," said Forstmayr. "The beauty of Montego Bay rivals the finest coastlines of the Mediterranean, with the warmth and soul of Jamaica that you simply cannot replicate in Europe. We are just a few hours from New York and Miami, with none of the jet lag and all of the elegance. For families and couples seeking a world-class summer escape closer to home, Round Hill delivers."
