Lost In Paradise brings Bajan flavour to Jamaica

Last Friday, the lush grounds of The Gardens at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel were transformed into a dreamy, floral oasis for Lost In Paradise, a vibrant, drinks-inclusive experience that added a fresh, flirtatious twist to the Jamaica carnival calendar.

A celebrated staple of the Caribbean party scene, the signature Bajan event, made its highly anticipated Jamaican debut through a dynamic partnership with Xodus Carnival. The result was a seamless fusion of cultures, energy, and elevated fete experiences, bringing a unique island synergy to life. Patrons were immersed in an atmosphere designed to enchant the senses. From the moment they entered, guests were surrounded by whimsical floral installations, soft, romantic lighting, and stunning photo backdrops that set the tone for a night of beauty, connection, and celebration. The aesthetic struck the perfect balance between elegance and playfulness, creating a space where every corner invited a photo and every moment felt unforgettable.

The night pulsed with energy as a line-up of top-tier Caribbean talent took the stage. Dynamic soca artiste Adam O led a very vibrant set of performances starting with his song Warming Up. Following that, Trinidadian DJ Major Penny invited Voice, V'ghn, and Skinny Fabulous on stage to thrill the crowd with a very impromptu performance, keeping the crowd moving, and fuelling an electric vibe that carried throughout the evening.

At the heart of the experience was a premium, drinks-inclusive offering, headlined by Courvoisier. The brand's signature smoothness and sophistication were woven into the fabric of the event, elevating every sip and adding a refined touch to the night's indulgence. The curated bar experience ensured that guests enjoyed a seamless flow of high-quality cocktails, perfectly complementing the event's upscale ambiance.

"Lost In Paradise was about creating a feeling, something soft, beautiful, and immersive, yet undeniably vibrant," said Dominic Bell, communications manager, J Wray & Nephew Ltd. "Partnering with Xodus Carnival to bring this experience to Jamaica was a natural fit, and the response was everything we envisioned and more."

With its successful Jamaican debut, Lost In Paradise has firmly established itself as a must-attend event within Jamaica carnival, offering a refreshing take on the fete experience, one that is equal parts chic, spirited, and unforgettable. As the night came to a close, one thing was clear: paradise found a new home in Kingston, and it left guests already longing for its return.
