AKIMAT Jamaica
Wellness Escape

EXHALE is designed for women who are ready to pause, reset, and reconnect with themselves. Whether you're a busy professional, entrepreneur, caregiver, wellness enthusiast, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, this retreat offers space to rest, recharge, and be supported.

Not at all. All wellness activities are beginner-friendly and designed to meet you where you are. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or stepping onto a mat for the first time, you'll feel comfortable and welcomed.

Your retreat package includes luxury accommodations with authentic Jamaican meals, daily wellness activities, guided yoga and meditation sessions, sound healing experiences, the Rio Grande bamboo rafting experience, the Frenchman's Cove beach excursion, group welcome and farewell dinners, curated wellness gifts, and dedicated AKIMAT Concierge support.

The following are not included unless otherwise stated: airfare, travel insurance, spa services, airport transfers, personal shopping and souvenirs, and additional excursions outside the itinerary.

Absolutely. EXHALE is intentionally designed with space to relax, enjoy the property, visit the spa, journal, explore, or simply do nothing at all.

Yes! Many retreat guests attend solo. In fact, solo travelers often form the deepest connections during the experience. You'll arrive as strangers and leave as sisters.

Yes. The retreat takes place in Portland, Jamaica, one of the island's most peaceful and scenic regions. Transportation, accommodations, and experiences are carefully selected and coordinated to ensure a safe and seamless experience.

Please book flights into Norman Manley International Airport (KIN) in Kingston. This is our retreat airport and the only one covered by our group transfer.

Kingston is roughly two and a half hours from Port Antonio by road. Montego Bay (MBJ) is four to five hours and is not covered, if MBJ is your only option, tell us at booking and we will quote a private transfer separately.

Shared round-trip transportation between Kingston and GeeJam is $95 per guest, added during registration. We collect your flight details in advance so arrivals can be coordinated with the property.

Arrivals are on Thursday April 22 and departures on Monday April 26. We will confirm transfer times once flights are in, so please hold off booking anything that lands very late or leaves very early until we have shared the schedule.

A deposit is required to reserve your space. Flexible payment plans may be available. Final payment dates will be provided upon registration.

Your deposit reserves your place and is non-refundable, as it goes directly toward securing your room and our venue commitments.

Beyond the deposit:

More than 90 days before the retreat (before January 22, 2027), all payments beyond your deposit are fully refunded.

90 to 45 days before (January 22 – March 8, 2027), 50% of payments beyond your deposit are refunded.

Within 45 days (after March 8, 2027) — payments are non-refundable, as our accommodation and vendor commitments become final at this point. We will apply 75% of what you have paid as a credit toward a future AKIMAT retreat within two years.

Transferring your place — up to 45 days before the retreat, you may transfer your registration to another guest at no charge. Just let us know.

If AKIMAT cancels — you receive a full refund of everything you have paid, including your deposit.

We strongly recommend travel insurance. It is inexpensive relative to the trip and covers the situations none of us can plan for.

EXHALE is limited to 20 guests, with a minimum of 12. Small enough that you will know everyone by the second day, large enough that you will find your people.

Rooms are shared by two, with a limited number of private rooms available. If you book alone, we pair you thoughtfully with another guest and introduce you well before you travel.

After registration, you'll receive a detailed packing guide. Think: resort wear, comfortable walking shoes, swimwear, activewear, light evening attire, and a white outfit for our All-White Farewell Dinner.

EXHALE was created by a wellness professional with over two decades of experience helping women navigate stress, burnout, and the demands of everyday life. This isn't about perfection. It's about creating space to breathe, reconnect, and return home feeling lighter, clearer, and renewed.
