Half Moon Resort
The Resort
Nowhere is Jamaica's colonial elegance more evident than at the sumptuous Half Moon Resort, nestled in the tropical paradise of the island's northern coastline, some 10 miles from Montego Bay. No less than two miles of private white sandy beaches unfold in front of the five-star complex, while the warm and attentive service from the resort staff will help to make your experience an unforgettable one.
Follow in the footsteps of royalty and celebrity by choosing Half Moon - and its famous crescent-shaped beach - for your next golf escape to the Caribbean. The eco-friendly resort is a comprehensive destination that is superbly equipped for golf and leisure visitors; a top class Trent Jones Senior-designed championship course awaits, as do fine dining, an outstanding spa and truly idyllic surroundings.
Golf
Having hosted many prestigious professional events, including the European Seniors and the Jamaica Open, Half Moon is rightly regarded as one of the best courses in the Caribbean. Resort guests are invited to tackle the original Robert Trent Jones Junior layout - subsequently revised by his Roger Rulewich, a prominent student of RTJ - which makes full use of the stunning Caribbean landscape.
A championship standard course of better than 7,000 yards at its peak, Half Moon is nonetheless accessible for all standards of golfer, and the conditioning is of the highest order. The award-winning course is proud to boast a collection of knowledgeable local caddies who will no doubt enhance your golfing experience.
Resort guests at Half Moon also have the opportunity to sample the local courses at Cinnamon Hill and White Witch courtesy of reciprocal arrangements, adding variety to an already impressive Caribbean golf escape.
Rooms
The old world charm of Jamaica's colonial era is infused with distinct Caribbean character throughout the Half Moon Resort's accommodation collection, all of which are appropriately luxurious; rich, dark wood contrasts with crisp, white linen and the occasionally vivid Caribbean touch, rounded off with the backdrop of the turquoise and azure hues of the sea and the lush, tropical gardens.

Il GiardinoFrescoed ceilings and the richly textured, romantic setting are hallmarks of Half Moon's wonderful Il Giardino, a classically Italian dining room presenting an enticing menu.
Seagrape TerraceEnjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner and glorious views over Sunset Beach from the Seagrape Terrace, a laid back, shaded outdoor dining experience that is a perennial favourite.
The Prince of WalesThis traditionally styled English-theme pub's name is no mere throwaway; Charles, Prince of Wales has indeed visited twice - the ultimate seal of approval for this laid back haunt.
Beach BarbequeNothing could be more distinctly Caribbean than a barbeque on the beach, and Half Moon certainly does not disappoint on that front; the 'come as you are' dress code is perfect for the simply grilled meat and seafood menu.

Fern Tree, The Spa at Half Moon is a phenomenal 68,000 sq. foot facility that ranks among the best of its kind, an award-winning holistic retreat that offers a unique indoor / outdoor sanctuary for resort guests. Savour the views of the lush gardens or reserve a sea bungalow over the Caribbean with your partner, setting the scene for signature treatments which combine the most modern techniques with the use of ancient remedies, herbs and aromas.
