JAMAICAS HIGHEST RATED RESORT

Half Moon Resort

NOVEMBER 6 - 9, 2026

Set on 400 acres of manicured grounds and two miles of private white sand beach, Half Moon By Salamander Hotels & Resorts, is one of the Caribbean’s most celebrated five star resorts, consistently ranked among the region’s finest by the world’s leading travel authorities. Timeless British colonial architecture meets relaxed Caribbean elegance, with grand verandas, crisp white interiors, and oceanfront villas that feel both refined and effortless. Jamaica’s golden era of glamour lingers here, where it is said that Ian Fleming found inspiration for his James Bond novels on these very shores.

our leadership theme

One Love, One Vision

Built around the theme One Love, One Vision, this intimate gathering unites 100+ of the top 1% of spa and wellness leaders who believe our industry is stronger when we move forward together. In a time of rapid change, digital overload, and increasing pressure on teams, leadership can feel isolating. This room changes that. You will explore how to turn disruption into opportunity, lead with emotional intelligence in a digital first world, reduce burnout, align culture with performance, and create measurable impact through community and collaboration.

More than inspiration, this is shared perspective at the highest level. When the right leaders align around one vision, the ripple effect extends far beyond individual properties and into the future of wellness itself. If you care about shaping what comes next rather than reacting to it, you want to be in this room.

Frequently Asked Questions

You've got questions, we've got answers!

Who is the Spark Leaders Summit designed for?

Spark is created for spa directors, resort wellness leaders, general managers, and executive-level professionals who oversee spa programming, guest experience, operations, or brand partnerships. The summit is ideal for leaders who want to elevate their strategic thinking and connect with peers at the highest level of luxury wellness.

What makes Spark different from other industry events?

Spark blends leadership development, immersive wellness experiences, and curated brand discovery in one intimate environment. The summit is centered on collaboration, reflection, and practical insight, giving you both professional growth and personal renewal. Attendees consistently share that Spark offers deeper connection and higher-value conversations compared to traditional conferences.

How many attendees should I expect?

Spark is intentionally kept intimate. The event hosts a curated group of spa executives and premium wellness brands. This structure ensures you have real time to connect, participate in conversations, and experience programming without feeling rushed.

 Are wellness treatments included?

Yes. Spark includes guided wellness immersions, experiential treatments, and hands-on product evaluations. These experiences help you understand what will resonate with your guests and how each modality can elevate your spa’s offerings.

What is the dress code for the summit?

Spark is relaxed luxury. Attendees typically wear comfortable resort attire during sessions and wellness experiences. Evening receptions are elevated but not formal. We encourage breathable fabrics, sandals, and anything that allows you to move comfortably throughout the day.

Can my brand or property send multiple team members?

Yes. Many properties send two leaders so they can divide sessions, reflect together, and return home with aligned strategy. Space is limited, so early registration is recommended.

What is included in my registration?

Registration covers leadership sessions, wellness immersions, brand discovery experiences, daily breakfast and lunch, evening receptions, and all summit materials. Accommodations and travel are separate unless your sponsor package includes them.

How do the brand interactions work?

Brands participate in Spark by joining sessions, immersions, and conversations with leaders throughout the summit. The environment is natural and relationship-driven, allowing you to evaluate partnerships, learn from each other, and begin meaningful connections that support long-term growth.

Should I book my travel through the resort?

After registering, you will receive a link to book with our preferred group rate at Half Moon Resort. We recommend booking early to secure the room type you prefer and to ensure your stay aligns with the summit schedule.

Can I bring my partner or family?

Half Moon is a family-friendly property, but the summit itself is a professional event. Partners and families are welcome to enjoy the resort during the day, but only registered attendees may join Spark programming.
