Hammerstein Highland House Villa sits high in the hills with breathtaking views of Montego Bay. This six-bedroom luxury villa, only 20 minutes from the Montego Bay airport, presents you with a grand tropical retreat featuring private indoor and outdoor living areas, extraordinary dining, and unforgettable sunsets. Once owned by Dorothy and Oscar Hammerstein (where he wrote The Sound of Music), this very private, 7000 square foot estate is located on 17 acres lush tropical acres.  

Nestled in an idyllic mountain setting with mango trees, papaya groves, towering palms and vivid gardens, the Highland House boasts some of the most astonishing views of Montego Bay. From three stories, a groomed green lawn draws your eye toward the sea. Scenic pathways and secret stairways connect the estate's various environments, which are centered around a marvelous fresh water pool. Immerse yourself in the visual grandeur of the Caribbean from any of the five verandas.

The numerous living spaces provide something for everyone. Enjoy a bird's eye view of the sea from the rooftop sundeck. Play card games or take an afternoon nap in one of the many cushioned sitting areas on the terrace and around the pool. For movie time, the main gathering hall features comfortable sofas, high-peaked ceilings, and large plantation doors that invite the scenery and breezes inside. Downstairs you'll find a wet bar, darts, and pool table.

From candlelit dinners at dusk on the terrace to formal feasts at the grand roundtable, the Highland House dining areas are as delicious as the cuisine. Breakfast and lunch can be served next to the pool under a canopy of vines and greenery.

A short walk from the house takes you to the newly added pavilion designed to immerse you in tropical beauty. The wooden screened structure seems one with the landscape, and provides a secluded place for yoga, Pilates, ecstatic dance, and even special events.
