All villas are great, but the Premium Villas are larger and have sunset views.
The property, currently celebrating its 50th anniversary, isn’t shy about honouring its place in pop culture history: Bob Marley and the Rolling Stones once jumped off its iconic cliffs, and reggae and dancehall ephemera line the walls.

Hotels Own Introduction
Rockhouse, an award-winning boutique hotel perched above Pristine Cove on Negril’s West End, has been a sought-after retreat for stylish travelers since its founding in 1974. Established by two architects who met while working for Frank Lloyd Wright in Chicago, the hotel was envisioned as the perfect island escape. With a 30-year commitment to regenerative travel, Rockhouse continues to blend luxury with sustainability.
Nestled within eight acres of lush tropical gardens and dramatic volcanic cliffs, the hotel features forty handcrafted rooms built from timber, stone, and thatch. Designed to harmonize with the natural surroundings, each space offers an immersive connection to Jamaica’s breathtaking landscape.
A morning swim in the Caribbean Sea is best followed by a meal at one of the island’s most talked-about restaurants. The Rockhouse Restaurant presents a fresh take on Caribbean cuisine, incorporating locally sourced ingredients, including produce from our organic farm and hydroponic greenhouse. For a taste of authentic Jamaican flavors, the Pushcart Jerk Center and Rum Bar serves up island classics like oxtail, curried goat, and smoked jerk meats with traditional fixings. The Pool Bar & Grill, a favorite lunchtime spot, offers a laid-back menu straight off the jerk pan.
The Rockhouse Spa is dedicated to helping you unwind in the most indulgent ways. Whether it's a massage in a cliffside cabana overlooking the sea or a Blue Mountain coffee scrub in a secluded garden, relaxation is always within reach. Twice named Jamaica’s Best Spa by the World Travel Awards, it’s the ultimate sanctuary for body and soul.
