Rockhouse, an award-winning boutique hotel perched over Pristine Cove on Negril’s west end, was established 50 years ago in 1974 when two architects, who met while working for Frank Lloyd Wright in Chicago, found paradise and designed their perfect island getaway. A long-cherished destination for stylish travelers, Rockhouse has an impeccable 30-year commitment to regenerative travel. While prioritizing the guests, and nurturing the spirit of the amazing team, the Rockhouse undertakes environment best practice (Green Globe Certified) while putting back into the community through the Rockhouse Foundation.
Rockhouse: The Book celebrating 50 years of Rockhouse, brims with over 170 stunning images, including archival photos and historical details from the hotel and Negril throughout the years. Music artist, Shaggy, contributes the foreword and journalists Brigid Washington Ransome and Summer Eldemire weave the love story that ties it all together. Learn more and Pre Order you copy here.

EAT
A morning swim in the Caribbean sea really works up the appetite: allow us to nourish you one of the most talked about restaurant on island. The Rockhouse Restaurant offers new Caribbean cuisine – a lighter, modern interpretation of Jamaica’s classic dishes incorporating local ingredients picked from our very own organic farm and hydroponic greenhouse. Also on property is the Pushcart Jerk Center and Rum Bar serving authentic local favorites including oxtail, curried goat and smoked and seasoned chicken, pork, and fish with all of the classic fixings of “yard” cuisine. The favored spot for lunch is the Pool Bar & Grill which serves a fresh grill menu straight off the jerk pan.
Your biggest decision for the day will be choosing between dining on the deck at the Rockhouse Restaurant, ordering local style at Pushcart or lunching at the Pool Bar!
Dine With UsSPA
Our spa has one mission: to help you unwind by any means necessary. How does a massage in a cabana overlooking the Caribbean sea sound? How about a Blue Mountain coffee scrub in our tropical gardens? There’s a reason we’re a two time winner of the World Travel Award for Best Spa in Jamaica.
