The key to any fab party is always the ambiance… Whether its soft & sultry or bold & edgy, the first impression sets the tone for the complete experience. So when I arrived to the #MyDestinationExperience at the Goldeneye Resort I was left speechless. The exotic resort has hosted the worlds most prominent figures in arts & entertainment including Ian Flemings (creator of James Bond), Jay Z, Beyonce and Kate Moss. The exquisite destination was the epicenter of an exclusive celebration and entrepreneurial mash-up of Jamaican elites, Hollywood producers and American media.
#DestinationExperience, where a luxurious party meets somewhere between the infinity pool & the beach

Attendees were in for an exquisite treat! For the first time, the exclusive Golden Eye Resort in Jamaica shut it’s doors to be the destination & experience for trendsetters and high net worth professionals. The evening satisfied all the your entertainment senses, with sounds by DJ Ideal from Miami and DJ Shane – The Firestarter with local Jamaican appeal. DJ Shane was not the ONLY fire starter… The event included amazing dances from Fire Spitters that performed to the music and interacted with guest – I even made a special cameo!
The evening ended with a very special & sentimental touch… Guests gathered on the beach, barefoot and full of optimism as we lit sky lanterns and filled the Jamaican sky with our dreams. This particular aspect of the event really resonated with me, as I’ve always loved the beauty and depth of the fire lanterns. I truly enjoyed the experience mingling with Jamaican entrepreneurs, American media and Hollywood producers while dancing under the Jamaican twilight and sipping on bottomless Moet. I look forward to the next #MyDestinationExperience and an opportunity to visit a new exotic location.
