About this trip

Join us in this very special women-only get-away to the lush and beautiful island of Jamaica. It’s time for an adventure with your sisters in spirit. Give yourself the gift of a unique experience and book with us. Start your planning now. Next summer is going to be a big one for us as we celebrate our 7-year anniversary. We want you as you are: hide your hair or don’t care; married and musty; single and happy; brokenhearted and healing; or anything between or beyond, we welcome you.


This is for women of all faiths because we know that Jamaica has the power to connect you to yourself and the universal, adventurous nature of others with you! Plunge into fresh mineral baths, waterfalls, and lagoons. Savor the natural and gastronomic wonders of Stush In The Bush; down-to-earth organic farming; as well as exclusive fine dining in the hills. Climb the Blue Mountains (it’s ok, no special gear necessary), visit the Rasta School of Vision, and experience true local culture! This is your time to have an experience of a lifetime. Plan it and, as Jamaican’s say, reach!

I had a great time, met wonderful people, learnt about a different culture and made friends for life! Thank you.

Thank you Wafa & Burgundy Roots for a wonderful trip. Uzbekistan was beautiful, the itinerary was the perfect combination of group activities and flexible spare time, and everything was thought out to the smallest detail. We got an authentic experience of the culture and cuisine through the choices and stories of our wonderful guides. As someone who was there because of a general passion for history and a desire to visit all the former USSR countries in my lifetime, I was the only non-Muslim in the group but I never felt left out or like I didn't belong in the group. Regardless of faith, if you have an open mind, you will greatly benefit from this trip. I look forward to discovering more of Central Asia in the future, and to travelling with Burgundy Roots to other lands!

My husband and I had a fantastic time. The itinerary, the food and the accommodations were top notch. It was a perfect balance of touring and free time. Wafa makes it point to interact with all her guests. Her personal touch is much appreciated and keeps one wanting to come back.

A Truly Unforgettable Experience - Returned for Round Two! After my memorable experience traveling with Burgundy Roots to Egypt, I couldn’t resist coming back for another trip! The place that was high on my list was Jamaica and there was no way I could have chosen a better person to experience Jamaica with, than Wafa. This trip exceeded all our expectations. From start to finish, everything was flawlessly organized, and every detail was taken care of. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, offering a wonderful mix of adventure, relaxation, and cultural exploration. I was impressed by the knowledgeable and friendly guides, who made each day informative and enjoyable. The accommodations were top-notch, providing both comfort and charm, and the food was absolutely delightful – every meal was a highlight! The homemade meals were a chef's kiss. What really stood out to me was the sense of community and camaraderie among the group. We had an amazing group of people on this particular retreat and I found that despite our differences, and despite coming from different parts of the world, we created a bond and developed a beautiful friendship that will last for years to come. The shared experiences truly enhanced our trip. I am already looking forward to my next adventure with Burgundy Roots, if God wills.

I had the most special and amazing time on this trip! I went with my sister and the group was just a gift from the universe. Wafa did an excellent job organizing unique and once in a lifetime experiences that I wouldn’t have been able to do, find, or secure on my own. The food was amazing and the team was amazing. Another shout-out to Trivian who absolutely made the trip for me. She was kind, warm, funny, and caring. Highly recommend this experience!

I traveled with Wafa to do the Umrah... That was such a good experience. This trip is definitely the best by far. She is so professional and a nice person. I definitely recommend it to everyone who wants an experience that could change their life in a good way, bring more love in their heart, a closer connection with God and the chance to meet extraordinary people.

I have been on two Burgundy roots trips so far and I must say, the itineraries are very well thought out. Wafa and her team pay attention to every detail and leave no stone unturned to ensure a truly unique, hands-off and stress-free experience for all attendees. You get to visit some hidden gems , spend time in nature, enjoy delicious food with amazing COMPANY and learn more about Islam while you’re at it. Such a beautiful, spiritually uplifting experience! BEST TRIP(S) EVER!

Traveled with Burgundy Roots this summer to Jamaica and it was everything!!!! Wafa and her team were great! All the experiences and people I meet were a whole vibe. If you're thinking about traveling with them just do it, it will be so worth it.
