When a resort goes to the trouble of getting Ralph Lauren to design its interiors, you know you’re in for something special. Round hill’s charming managing director, Josef Forstmayr, and his friendly, professional team leave no detail to chance in their desire to make your stay here a truly wonderful experience. The spacious, ocean view rooms and stunning villas exude style and comfort and, alongside the beautiful spa, make the perfect retreat for a peaceful and relaxing holiday.

There are 36 spacious, air-conditioned oceanfront rooms and 26 villas. The rooms are all located in the two-storey Pineapple House, close to the main facilities and overlooking the ocean and pool. All feature interior design by Ralph Lauren and are simply stunning with white stone floors, four poster beds and large bathrooms with bath and separate rain shower. The Ocean View Rooms are on the upper floor and have vaulted ceilings and louvred windows that open up to glorious views of the bay; Ocean View Balcony Rooms are on the ground floor and feature a spacious, private terrace. One Bedroom Suite, ideal for honeymooners, are nestled into the hillside and feature a separate living room, walk-in rain shower and a soaking tub. The Two to Six Bedroom Villas can also be reserved in their entirety and are especially recommended for families or groups of friends. Most have a private pool and each is individually designed and decorated to a very high standard with its own attentive staff.

The Seaside Terrace restaurant serves à la carte or buffet lunch overlooking the beach; dinner is generally à la carte with sumptuous themed buffets also on offer three times a week. The Grill at Round Hill serves breakfast and dinner seasonally from a rooftop location and there is also a cocktail bar as well as a pool and beach bar for drinks and lunchtime snacks.
