Managed by Salamander Collection and located just ten minutes from Sangster International Airport (MBJ) in Montego Bay, Jamaica's tourism capital, Half Moon sits along a two-mile stretch of pristine coastline. A member of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts Legend Collection and Jamaica's highest-rated resort by Forbes Travel Guide, the property remains a cornerstone of the country's tourism landscape.
"The reopening of Eclipse at Half Moon is a powerful signal of confidence in Jamaica's tourism sector and our national recovery. As one of the Caribbean's most iconic resorts, Half Moon has long set the standard for excellence, innovation, and authentic Jamaican hospitality," noted Edmund Bartlett, Jamaica's Minister of Tourism.
He continued: "The resort's return not only restores hundreds of jobs but also strengthens our tourism value chain, benefiting communities and the wider economy. I commend the Half Moon team for their continued investment and unwavering commitment to Jamaica."
Overlooking the glistening waters of the Caribbean Sea, the luxurious Eclipse at Half Moon honours Jamaican culture and reflects its surrounding natural beauty. The resort features 57 beachfront accommodations, a stunning infinity-edge pool, swimming coves, and multiple bars and restaurants. To celebrate the reopening, which comes in time for Easter, Half Moon presents a special "Welcome Back Home" offer, and will also reopen its newly reimagined Villas, which offer six- and seven-bedroom accommodations. Additional legacy accommodation options will reopen later this year.
Following the passage of Hurricane Melissa in October 2025, Half Moon temporarily closed, allowing time not only to thoughtfully restore and renovate, but to also place equal focus on the wellbeing and recovery of more than 850 team members, many of whom were directly affected by the storm.
