“I can’t wait for Jamaica’s first luxury glamping weekend with CampLuxe! I have packed all the essentials — sunglasses, swimsuits for days by the beach, kaftans to lounge and everything else in between. I’m already day dreaming about all the delicious food l’ll be enjoying during the weekend!” shared Kaci Fennell-Shirley

Fennell Shirley is not the only one. The weekend is fully booked and, according to the mother-daughter duo of Karen and Khloe Clarke, co-principals of An Elegant Affair Event Management who have kept a tight rein on numbers opting instead for a quality experience versus heavy numbers.

“Glamping is camping done fabulously!” shared Karen Clarke, the stylish Californian, who immediately upon her return to Jamaica introduced An Elegant Affair, Mind, Body & Soul retreat, an ultra-luxe weekend affair that attracted the likes of Hollywood actresses Gabrielle Union, Gina Torres and Malinda Williams, as well as other Los Angeles fabellas.

Her focus this weekend, June 10-12, is to host those who prefer contact with nature and local experiences without giving up comfort or luxury at The Rock’s first-ever premium glamping experience.

Assisting with the CampLuxe experience are Frenchman’s Cove Jamaica, Tourism Enhancement Fund/Tourism Linkages Network, Taste Jamaica, Mastercard, Rainforest Caribbean, Sparkles Production, CPJ, Select Brands, and Heineken.

Congrats, Karen & Khloe Clarke on this initiative!
