“Having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own.”
― Andy Warhol
Site Overview
When Diplo first conceived of Pompey, his goal was to craft an architecture so extraordinary that it holds its own among the splendors of nature while also contributing to the vibrant culture here. He envisioned a place where the trill of cicadas and the chatter of rainforest birds could blend with the hum and crackle of vintage records, and the laughter of loved ones.
The first thing that you’ll notice about our landscape is its lushness, and there’s a reason for this. Jamaica boasts a huge number of endemic plants and animals that have evolved here in isolation, species found nowhere else on Earth. From our kaleidoscopic range of technicolor birds to populations of rare and unusual orchids, all of them supported by an idyllic tropical climate.
In the chaos of today’s mad world, the jungle here becomes an oasis of tranquility with a near-supernatural allure. It’s a place where ancient trees, bedecked with vines, stand in silent witness to centuries of history and folklore. This rich tapestry of biodiversity and cultural heritage has helped shape our area into the singular place it is today.
Portland's History
Washing up on these shores, the first thing you’ll notice is the Jamaican spirit, which has put this tiny island nation on the map. From the easy-does-it rhythmic pulse of reggae to the herbaceous aroma of Jamaican jerk cuisine commingled with cannabis.
“For a little island, this country has had such a powerful cultural impact around the world. There’s magic here.” ― Diplo
And there’s no dearth of things to do: from exploring Portland’s impenetrable interior by raft into unspoiled lands brimming with waterfalls to sipping Red Stripes in storybook lagoons that look more like Zoom backdrops than something real; all of it presided over by Portland’s mist-shrouded Blue Mountains, which offers many lifetimes of hiking and biking as well as coffee so famous that Japan even named a holiday after it, Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee Day. And when the sun goes down, grab a bite at one of our many coastal eateries, followed by an evening at the local vinyl bar, street party, strip club, etc.
