NO SCREENS, NO SCHEDULE: Round Hill Ushers in the New Era of Luxury Wellness Hotels in the Caribbean 2026
Storied Jamaican retreat emphasizes restorative Caribbean travel as the ultimate self care trend with Erika Bloom partnership
Montego Bay, Jamaica — December 2, 2025 — As the world slows down for the holidays, travelers are looking beyond fleeting fads and turning to restorative wellness travel ( a way to recharge without screens, schedules, or distractions ). In 2026, Round Hill Hotel and Villas, Jamaica’s most iconic retreat, will expand its holistic wellness offerings by welcoming a new curated lineup of Erika Bloom trained practitioners, strengthening its reputation as a premier wellness sanctuary in the Caribbean for renewal, balance, and connection.
Wellness has evolved beyond luxury spa days and juice cleanses; the ultimate luxury has become time and space to restore. At Round Hill, this philosophy is embedded in the resort’s DNA, a place where generations of guests have returned to slow down, reconnect, and embrace the simplicity of island life in Montego Bay.
“With packed professional and social calendars, our guests are increasingly looking for meaningful ways to escape and recharge. This collaboration with Erika Bloom practitioners elevates Round Hill’s wellness story,” said Josef Forstmayr, Managing Director. “It’s not about quick fixes, but about creating space for lasting balance and offering experiences that guests can continue to integrate into their lives at home.”
