SO2 Bubbly Summer @ Round Hill
Luxury, celebration, and the art of living well will coalesce seamlessly this summer as part of Moët & Chandon’s first-ever exclusive year-long premium partnership in Jamaica with Round Hill Hotel and Villas. This was revealed on Thursday, June 4 to specially invited guests who enjoyed exclusive access to the offerings at an intimate soirée hosted by local distributors Select Brands along with representatives from both premium brands.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Round Hill’s newly minted private adult-only beach, the collaboration introduces the Moët & Chandon summer campaign in a beach club setting — an immersive luxury experience designed to align the brand with celebratory moments, whether grand or intimate.
