A private escape.
The Mabella is a gated boutique property in Runaway Bay, Jamaica — 20 rooms and 8 distinct event spaces on a single property. You can book a room for a few nights, or you can reserve the entire property for your group. Most guests do both.

Why This Place Exists
Six years. One hurricane.
A grandmother’s name on the door.
The Mabella was built by a Jamaican woman who left a corporate career in the United States to come home after over 35 years and build something that mattered. Six years. A pandemic. Supply chain delays. A Category 5 hurricane.
It’s named for her grandmother, Mabel, who never got to see it — but is everywhere here.
When you celebrate here, you’re not booking a venue. When you stay here, you’re not filling a room in an inventory. You’re a guest in a place that was built on purpose.
