About this trip

Fitness and wellness come together at Half Moon Resort's luxurious property in Montego Bay, Jamaica.  Yoga and meditation on the beach; strength training in the open air.  Workshops that provide a wealth of information on health, nutrition, style, beauty, fitness, career, and mental health, to name a few.  You won't return the same.

Half Moon Resort

A destination in itself, set on 400 acres of manicured grounds with two miles of beachfront.

Half Moon has individually-appointed rooms, most of which have views of the Caribbean Sea.  All of our guests can enjoy  the extensive facilities of this destination, which include the largest  award-winning spa oasis in Jamaica, an 18-hole par-72 championship golf  course,  an equestrian centre with 28 horses and the Sugar Mill,  awarded as Jamaica’s best restaurant.

As a discerning traveller, you will enjoy the luxury of space and  tranquility Half Moon has to offer. Imagine your first morning taking in the  panoramic view of the horizon, and watching the sunrise having just  concluded yoga meditation in our overwater bungalow. Then, cycle to the  Seagrape Terrace for breakfast before beginning a day of a customized wellness experience.


During scheduled siestas or breaks, you can choose to lounge on the beach, play a round tennis or  golf, visit a local art gallery, or go horse riding along the beach.

I had a wonderful time. The accommodations,, activities, food , people were fantastic...
By Cathy M for Fit Doc Wellness Retreat 2019 - Montego Bay on Oct 19, 2019
The Fit Doc Wellness Retreat 2019 was an amazing experience from the time I registered to the departure from the hotel. I had a great time and met some wonderful people. The Fit Doc crew was also amazing, patient and kind. They ensured that everything set up so nicely from the All White Party to the sessions and last night party where we danced all night. The hotel and grounds was very nice and the staff were courteous and friendly. This is an experience I will never forget and looking forward to the next retreat. Thank you Dr. Reed for this retreat and giving us an opportunity to open up our minds, body and soul in the wonderful country of Jamaica

This trip was phenomenal, transformative, and so well planned. I attended with one of my best friends. The hotel accommodations were gorgeous. The food at the resort was delicious, organic, flavorful, and varied. The view from my ocean view balcony suite was breathtaking. Hearing the ocean in the mornings when I opened my balcony door put me in a peaceful state for the day. I was able to meditate on the balcony while hearing the gentle beating of the waves against the shore. The staff at the resort were courteous, and always went out of their way to assist the guests. This retreat had a line up of some of the finest orators that I have heard in my 40 something years on this planet. They left me truly inspired to live my best life and gave me the tools that I needed to be the best version of myself possible. I am definitely looking forward to next year. I will be bringing my spouse next time. Many thanks to the Fit doc and the planning committee for this unforgettable experience. P.S. I am wrote this after finishing my morning meditation with my spouse.
