Get a Taste of Jamaica
with Chef Ashley
This exclusive six-day retreat, June 6-11, 2025, celebrates Chef Ashley’s heartfelt homegoing, blending wellness practices with exquisite culinary experiences inspired by her rich Jamaican heritage
Retreat with LoveHER and Chef Ashley - a Jamaican-born now living in St. Croix, USVI, where she brings the rich culinary traditions of the islands to life through her soulful cooking at her restaurant Jubilee.
We meet Chef Ashley in St. Croix in March 2024. She shared how deeply she was inspired by her homeland, Jamaica—a place she misses and loves dearly. She told us about her long-held dream of welcoming people to Jamaica and creating a personalized culinary experience that highlights the island’s rich flavors and traditions.
Inspired by her vision, we reached out to Ashley and proposed that we bring her dream to life. And so, the Jamaica Epicurean Wellness Retreat was born—a celebration of Jamaican culture, wellness, and culinary excellence, led by Chef Ashley in her homegoing to the island of Jamaica
