Round Hill Hotel & Villas Announces New Michelin-Star Culinary Experience for Thanksgiving 2025

As part of the "Culinary Constellation" series, the resort welcomes celebrated Chef Jordi Artal of Barcelona's Michelin-starred Cinc Sentits

MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Round Hill Hotel & Villas announces the next chapter of its signature culinary program, A Culinary Constellation: Michelin-Star Chefs at Round Hill. Curated by Executive Chef Martin Ian Maginley, the series brings world-class talent to Jamaica through exclusive, limited-time dining events.

This Thanksgiving, Round Hill welcomes Chef Jordi Artal, the chef behind Barcelona's two-Michelin-star restaurant Cinc Sentits. Known for modern interpretations of Catalan cuisine, Artal brings a distinctive perspective that underscores Round Hill's commitment to offering trend-setting gastronomy for global travelers.

Thanksgiving Culinary Highlights

Over the holiday weekend, guests can experience a two-day culinary journey crafted by Chef Artal:

• Culinary Encounter – November 27
  An immersive afternoon tasting that introduces Artal's blend of Catalan heritage, modern technique, and multisensory storytelling influenced by his Silicon Valley background.
  
  
• Thanksgiving Buffet Dinner – November 27
  During Round Hill's festive Thanksgiving buffet, Artal will present a signature station dish, offering guests a rare taste of Michelin-level artistry within a traditional holiday feast.
  
  
• Grand Finale Dinner – November 29
  A five-course tasting menu on the Hanover Terrace, with dishes such as bluefin tuna croustade with piparra gel and caviar, spiny lobster tail with cilantro cream spheres and Red Stripe sauce, and grilled beef tenderloin with whipped celeriac and red wine-black pepper glaze. Dessert highlights include smoked ice cream with allspice-infused toffee and Tia María caramel—an evening designed to connect flavor, memory, and emotion.

"For me, cooking while traveling is about creating a dialogue between my roots and the place I'm visiting," said Chef Jordi Artal. "At Round Hill, I look forward to blending Catalan traditions with the vibrant flavors of Jamaica and sharing that story with every guest at the table."

As part of the collaboration, one of Chef Artal's signature creations will be introduced as a permanent dish on Round Hill's menu, giving future guests a lasting taste of the partnership.

A Global Culinary Vision at Round Hill

Launched in 2024, Round Hill's Culinary Constellation series has already featured two internationally acclaimed chefs; Chef Artal joins as the third in the lineup. Looking ahead, Round Hill will also collaborate with award-winning celebrity Chef Rocco DiSpirito in March 2026, further cementing its position as a Caribbean leader in luxury gastronomy.

"With Culinary Constellation, our goal is to bring the world's most innovative chefs to Round Hill and give our guests access to experiences they won't find elsewhere in the Caribbean," said Executive Chef Martin Ian Maginley. "Chef Artal's Thanksgiving pop-up exemplifies the artistry and storytelling that define this series."
