Almond Hill

Caribbean / Jamaica / Montego Bay

Almond Hill was designed by Prince Kasimir Korybut in 1993. It was brilliantly renovated, creating a contemporary beautifully decorated home with french doors opening from all of the bedrooms to the garden and bathrooms. Almond Hill is a lovely private home located on a former 500-acre coconut plantation just 22 minutes west of Montego Bay and a five-minute drive from Round Hill where guests enjoy complimentary resort membership.

A stunning renovation has created the all-new design of picture-perfect bedrooms and modern en-suite bathrooms. Notable are two outdoor showers, one off the master bedroom, and another by the pool. 

Tall library shelves in the high-ceilinged living room house an abundance of books, movies, cable television, and a 6-speaker sound system. Bring your favorite DVDs and enjoy Almond Hill’s outdoor movie theater.   Your staff can serve popcorn and ice cream for a fun evening!

Down a gentle slope, a few steps from the house is the large private pool. Its poolside gazebo is a favorite spot for shaded lunches and private laptop time.

Perhaps best of all is Almond Hill's design around the comfy verandah ~ cooled by trade winds and located for its superb view nine miles across the sea to the harbor and town of Montego Bay. A haven for reading and napping, afternoon tea, and conversation, the verandah is most memorable for wonderful candlelight dinners served here with the romance of distant lights of the town and cruise ships reflecting on the bay.

While extraordinarily private behind its iron entrance gates and not actually within Round Hill proper, Almond Hill is situated in the Round Hill Estate, a five-minute drive from the Round Hill gatehouse, hotel, beach club, and excellent Continental restaurant.  Each week, two themed beach party buffets welcome Almond Hill guests for various fees. 

If you left your pets behind while you take a vacation, be advised that Almond Hill is home to some lovable family dogs who are granted free run of the house and grounds but can be kept away if you require!

The staff is awesome, friendly, kind, informative, and skilled. Meals were beyond expectations - including the cooking classes that will let us take a bit of Jamaica home with us.

The pictures do not do justice to the house. Beautiful in every way and very well decorated. Love the outdoor showers and outdoor living spaces.

Our two families had an amazing time at Almond Hill. The staff was impeccable – all of our needs were perfectly met and the house is beautiful. The staff went above and beyond in ensuring that our child with food allergies was safe and very well fed! We could not have asked for more thoughtful people and are extremely grateful. Plus the food and cookies were fantastic!

House/Curtis – March 2018

Dear Linda,

Another fabulous stay at Almond Hill! As always, the Almond Hill staff are excellent – they are the villa’s best asset. New decorations and upgrading are excellent. We shall come back to my ‘second home.’ Thanks to all!

Robert F.

The staff was very warm and welcoming. We, as a family love the food – celebrating with a meal, and bringing the girls to the restaurants they like the best. Clearly, Tracey loves the food as well. She gave the girls and Andrew and I the experience we wanted. One that we would go back for. The home is very loved by its owners – and we are grateful they shared their lovely home, their willing staff, and friendly pets with us.

One last shout-out for Jen - she is an utter delight! She works so hard and is so kind. Our baby grandson adored her.

-Beauregold Party

The staff is excellent and does whatever is necessary to make sure our stay is wonderful. The staff is such a critical element to a villa rental stay and they get an A.
We love the villa and think is perfect.
We will be back!!

-Hordell Party

Having booked Jamaica Villas frequently over the past 15 years, I am always impressed with the level of service. Staff are always friendly and accommodating - we never want for anything.
This was our first stay at Almond Hill, but it will not be our last. We previously stayed often at Goat Hill and we come to think of it as our second home. Now that the door has closed for us, we are thrilled to have found a new home away from home!! We will be back!
Thank you!

Loved it - beautiful home, people, and dogs.

Chaffer party

Everything about our stay was enhanced by the amazing staff. They were warm, gracious, helpful, every meal was amazing & beautifully served. The accommodations are lovely. We were incredibly comfortable in the elegant setting.

Giese Party

The villa is a true retreat set in paradise - beautifully laid out, excellent for a family get-together or for a group of friends. We traveled with 2 small children (ages 2 and 4) and we found it very easy and relaxing with the kids: lots of space to run around, a lovely pool and grounds that are well maintained. Outside the villa you are in the heart of a small Jamaican farm with chickens, goats, peacocks, cows, horses and very friendly locals. We did daily strolls and spent time with the farmers enjoying their laid back lifestyle. Access to the Round hill resort was a bonus - they have a nice beach and decent restaurants (although we much preferred the food prepared by chef Tracy at the villa). We enjoyed the walk to Round hill which is about 20 minutes (lots of uphill). The villa has lovely, hardworking and organized staff. They are always there for you, but never intrusive. Lots of attention to detail in all daily functions (like daily changing floral arrangements and tableware). A very well run operation. Thank you Tracey, Oleen, Gemma, Kenneth and Matthew for this unforgettable holiday and everything you did to make us feel so special and welcomed. We will be back.

Elizabeth R.

Fitzsimmons Family

Awesome! Beautiful! Fabulous! Ms. Oleen, Tracy, Gem, Mr. Richard and Mathew were amazing!

Tammy C.

The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and like family. They anticipated needs that we did not know we needed. Our stay was beyond excellent.

Jasmine F.

The villa is well kept. We loved the traditional design f the location with all the modern accommodations. The villa is far better than any resort we have been to.

This place exceeds our very high expectations. It was truly "peace and love."
