Returning to Westmoreland
After two years of focused philanthropic work supporting the Rastafari Indigenous Village, Rastafari Way returns to not simply to host another retreat, but to deepen the journey.
Introducing the Rastafari Way Wellness Immersion: a deeply rooted cultural and wellness experience created for those seeking to reconnect with their roots, deepen their relationship with nature, experience Rastafari livity, and remember the wisdom held within community, tradition, and the land.
Since the launch of Rastafari Way in 2019, we have been intentional about creating experiences that do more than welcome visitors to Jamaica. Our intention has always been to protect, preserve, and promote Rastafari culture while creating meaningful reciprocity with the people, land, and grassroots communities that make this work possible.
In 2027, we are bringing the immersion to Little Bay, Westmoreland, on Jamaica's western coast, a breathtaking cliffside waterfront setting just outside Negril. Our choice of Westmoreland is intentional. Following Hurricane Melissa, the parish was among the areas significantly impacted. While our host property didn't experience damage, its team responded by opening its doors to support and shelter first responders during the recovery effort. By bringing our community into this region, we hope to continue directing energy, resources, and meaningful economic activity toward the people and places contributing to Jamaica's restoration.
This is more than a retreat. More than tourism.
This is an invitation to enter more deeply into relationship with Jamaica, with Rastafari, with nature, with community, and with yourself.
Meals at the retreat center around traditional Rastafari Ital cuisine, prepared fresh with locally sourced ingredients. Guests will enjoy three daily plant-based meals, along with herbal teas, natural juices, and smoothies made from fresh fruits and vegetables.
Our experienced Ital chef guides the culinary experience, sharing traditional preparation methods and introducing guests to a variety of raw and cooked plant-based dishes. The focus is on authentic flavors, cultural tradition, and enjoying nourishing food in a communal setting.
Westmoreland is a parish deeply connected to Jamaica’s agricultural, coastal, and cultural heritage. Located at the island’s westernmost edge, it is known for its fertile lands, fishing communities, rivers, caves, coral reefs, and the rugged beauty of its coastline. From the historic landscapes of Savanna-la-Mar to the quiet shores of Little Bay, Westmoreland carries a spirit of resilience, rootedness, and connection to the land.
It is within this landscape that we will gather at Coral Cove Wellness Resort, nestled along the unspoiled shores of Little Bay. Founded from a vision of holistic wellness and cultural authenticity, Coral Cove offers an intimate setting where nature, Jamaican culture, community, and personal restoration meet.
The property reflects an ethos that resonates deeply with the Rastafari Way: living closer to nature, honoring traditional knowledge, and creating space for transformation.
For us, Coral Cove is more than accommodation, It will be part of the immersion itself, a place to slow down, listen to the land, experience the waters and coastline, share in community, and reconnect with the deeper rhythms of Jamaica.
We aren't simply going to Westmoreland to stay. We are going to be in relationship with it.
