Four Hundred Acres of Pure Jamaican Splendor

Established in 1954 and celebrated as Jamaica's highest-rated resort by Forbes Travel Guide, Half Moon is a legendary 400-acre coastal sanctuary bordered by two miles of private Caribbean beachfront. Here, luxury is defined by the freedom of space, the unhurried rhythm of island life, and three distinct resort worlds tailored to your travel style.

Beyond your sanctuary, challenge the acclaimed 18-hole championship golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., surrender to botanical therapies at Fern Tree (A Salamander Spa) with overwater cabanas, or swim with horses in the warm sea at the resort's premier Equestrian Centre.
