On March 2, Half Moon announced the opening of Eclipse at Half Moon. Eclipse at Half Moon is a celebration of authentic Jamaican culture reflecting its surrounding natural beauty. Just a ten-minute drive from Sangster International Airport, the resort features 57 new accommodations, a stunning infinity-edge pool, natural swimming cove, seven bars and restaurants, and an introductory opening offer to celebrate its launch.
The addition of Eclipse at Half Moon creates a triumvirate of accommodation options under the Half Moon brand, which is already rated as Jamaica’s finest property, according to Forbes Travel Guide. Guests can also enjoy two additional distinct resort choices: Founders Cove at Half Moon and Rose Hall Villas at Half Moon, which are located at opposite ends of the 400-acre property.
Managed by Salamander Hotels & Resorts, Half Moon is renowned for its legacy of excellence and hospitality. The property was founded 65 years ago, and three of the original founding families still remain as owners.
“Eclipse is a distinct luxury experience, and one that honors and complements Half Moon’s legacy and character,” said Guy Steuart III, chairman of the board at Half Moon. “Guests will discover our unique spirit of character and culture amidst traditional, elegant architecture inspired by our surroundings, and dimensioned within an abundance of roamable beach and gardens.”
Existing and Legendary Experiences
The two existing resort experiences at Half Moon are distinctly different, yet characteristically Jamaican: Founders Cove incorporates the iconic neighborhoods of Half Moon that were developed by the original owners of the property. Guests can stay at a combination of classic cottages centered around Sunset Beach, including the popular Hibiscus and Ocean Court rooms and suites. The area also features multiple dining options, including the renowned Cedar Bar. Rose Hall Villas offers 27 villas, available as 5-, 6- and 7-bedroom accommodations, and are perfect for families, groups and golfers, with each featuring a spacious living and dining room, outdoor living space and private pool. Each villa also comes with a butler, housekeeper and cook, while guests enjoy a personalized check-in experience.
Guests of the three resorts can enjoy access to all of Half Moon’s amenities and experiences, including a classic Robert Trent Jones, Sr.-designed golf course, and the Sugar Mill restaurant – consistently rated as Jamaica’s best. Horseback riders of all levels can enjoy the Half Moon Equestrian Centre, with everything from riding, jumping, and polo lessons to a thrilling Turf and Surf Experience. Water sports possibilities are also abundant with use of kayaks, paddleboats, standup paddleboards and snorkeling gear. Racquet sport enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy within Half Moon’s tennis, pickleball and squash facilities, featuring 11 courts and professional coaches offering clinics, private lessons, and tournament play. Meanwhile, kids are treated like VIPs at Half Moon with the expansive Anancy Children’s Village inspired by Jamaican folklore, available for guests ages three-to-12 years old to learn, play and discover.
