Janus on Round Hill


Description


Welcome to Janus on Round Hill, a luxury private 4 bedroom villa elegantly perched at the highest point on one of the largest individual tracts of land on Round Hill in the stunning Montego Bay. Together with its 4 bedroom cottage, it can accommodate up to 16 people.

Encyclopedia Mythica: Janus is the Roman god of gates and doors, beginnings and endings, and hence represented with a double-faced head, each looking in opposite directions.

Villa Janus is one of the most stylish Jamaican luxury villas located in the exclusive Round Hill Resort, chosen by Condé Nast Traveler for its Gold List of "the best places to stay in the whole world." Janus has very recently been completely renovated and has been designed to combine style and comfort immaculately. The lavishly chic interior design at Villa Janus is complemented by hand-crafted sculptures and original art. The sensational panoramic views of both the east and west, sunrises and sunsets are simply magical.

Villa Janus is one of the most idyllic places to entertain family and friends. In the main villa, not only will you find world class interior design with priority on comfort and style, you will also find breath taking views from every angle of this specially-selected vantage point. Each night, twinkling lights from the town of Montego Bay sparkle across the water, enhancing the romance of this remarkable location. Janus features a large library of books and extensive collections of movies. The Great Room also features a gleaming baby grand piano. The spacious grounds are a paradise of gently rolling land, colourful gardens, soft grass and stately Royal Palms that are all completely private. Underground irrigation ensures lush life of this beautiful space.

Originally designed by the Princess of Lichtenstein, the glamorous Janus perched atop seven acres on the chic Round Hill in an superb gated neighbourhood will whisk you away with its luxury and beauty. Immediately next door is the home of the world-renowned international entrepreneur often featured in Architectural Digest, Town & Country, Marie Claire, Fortune etc. for his philanthropy and signature collections of high-end home decor, fragrance, furnishings, jewellery and apparel. Fifty yards to the other side of Janus is the seven-bedroom home once owned by an Academy-Award-winning producer and director. His villa was vacation home to many well-known movie stars.

Downhill is the Tennis House, an ideal spot to entertain children and adults alike. It is a throwback of game tables (chess, checkers, poker), antique Foosball, darts and other icons and games machines from decades past, bocce ball on the lawn and a 72” Apple TV inside. Here too is a full bathroom with shower and a modern kitchen that includes a 10-burner DCS gas stove, 2 fridge-freezers and ice maker. The wonderful Janus staff can serve dinners for up to 18 guests on the porch, overlooking the professional hard-surface court, lit for night play and bordered by a viewing gallery for onlookers.

Of special interest is that several years in sequence, Janus was the holiday home of Paul McCartney and family. It was in the Janus study that he composed Paul McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio, his first major foray into classical music, released in June 1991 to significant media attention, to commemorate The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra's 150th anniversary. Years later, McCartney’s signed messages of appreciation still appear in the Janus Guest Book.

STAFF When you stay at Villa Janus, you will be personally cared for by The Villa’s own butler, cook, housekeepers, gardeners and personal laundress. You will feel welcomed and pampered throughout your stay. The staff will be on hand to look after your every need and ensure your comfort at all times.
