"Travelers increasingly want to build a trip around something they can participate in, not simply watch" said Josy Karabolad, head of sales and marketing of Round Hill Hotel & Villas. "The Cup answers that demand in a very Round Hill way: personal time on court with champions, followed by the warmth and
ease of Jamaican hospitality. It has become a getaway our guests plan their season around and return for year after year."

Tennis and Pickleball at Round Hill all year

The Cup is Round Hill's biggest week on court, but the game never stops. The Tennis & Pickleball Experience includes:

• Three Har-Tru clay courts and a hard court, set above Montego Bay.

Where to stay: Caribbean Villas for Your Tennis Group

Groups of friends can make the Cup their own in one of Round Hill's 27 private Caribbean villas, with two to six bedrooms and the courts a short walk away. A villa gives a doubles group its own home on the estate, with full resort service, and the larger five and six-bedroom villas make room for partners, non-
playing friends and family.

Couples can stay in Pineapple House, where the 36 oceanfront rooms were designed by Ralph Lauren, a longtime Round Hill villa owner. Between matches, there is the spa, the Seaside Terrace, and the same views that brought Hollywood here to film How Stella Got Her Groove Back. Read Round Hill's story.
