A soulfully designed boutique hotel on Jamaica’s north coast, honoring the quiet strength and boundless love of one unforgettable woman.
Story of The Mabella
The Mabella is a tribute to legacy, love, and life’s most meaningful moments. Nestled on Jamaica’s vibrant north coast, our boutique hotel offers a sanctuary where you can celebrate milestones, reconnect with family and friends, and create lifelong memories.
A Legacy of Love
The Mabella was created in honor of Mabel — a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and quiet force of resilience. Her life was shaped by grace under pressure. When faced with hardship, she chose not to rest, but to rebuild — creating a home rooted in warmth, courage, and generosity. She raised five children, welcomed generations into her embrace, and taught those around her what it truly means to love without conditions.
Her spirit of strength, generosity, and hope lives on in all parts of this hotel. The Mabella is more than just a place to stay — it is a living tribute to her legacy and the power of creating beauty and connection in the face of life’s turning points.
A Place to Remember
Just off the lobby, we’ve created a small nook filled with the things she held dear — simple, personal treasures that tell a quiet story of strength, beauty, and resilience. We invite guests to pause here — to reflect, to breathe, to remember someone they love, or simply to be still. It’s a gentle space, much like she was.
“Her legacy lives on in every corner of The Mabella — in the way we welcome, the way we serve, and the way we celebrate people and life in all its forms.”
Designed for Togetherness
Every space at The Mabella invites connection — whether you’re gathering with family, celebrating a milestone, or simply enjoying time with people who matter most. Our property was thoughtfully designed to bring guests together in ways both joyful and meaningful.
Deck
A spacious outdoor deck featuring our treasured fish tank and lush views — perfect for sunset dinners, celebrations under the stars, or quiet morning reflections with coffee or tea.
Saltwater Pool, Gazebo & Gym
Cool off, relax, or gather by the pool. With a shaded gazebo nearby, it’s an ideal setting for casual hangouts, birthday toasts, and barefoot joy. Or burn off some calories in our outdoor gym space.
Flowing Indoor Spaces
Wide breezeways, open lounges, and flexible event areas allow guests to move freely and connect — whether it’s a welcome toast or a quiet heart-to-heart.

👪 Family Reunions — Share meals, memories, and laughter across generations
🌿 Retreats & Workshops — A soulful setting for small group connection and creativity
Planted in Nature, Inspired by Care
Mabel found joy in the simple things — fresh herbs plucked from the garden, the sweetness of homegrown fruit, and the calm of a quiet place to sit and breathe. That spirit is alive here.
Our property is surrounded by flourishing fruit trees, fragrant herb gardens, and open spaces designed to help you reconnect with nature. Enjoy the coastal breezes as you relax by the saltwater pool or stroll through our gardens, all while enjoying modern comforts such as a gym and thoughtfully curated local experiences.
Rooted in Community, Growing Together
At The Mabella, we believe a hotel is more than a place to stay — it’s a hub of connection and care. Inspired by Mabel’s generosity and love for family, we actively engage with our local community to create opportunities and celebrate culture.
We proudly host an Artist of the Month series, showcasing the talents of Jamaica’s vibrant creatives. Our week-long youth camps introduce children to new experiences, fostering growth and learning for those who may not otherwise have access.
When you stay with us, you become part of this ongoing story — one of growth, creativity, and shared joy.
“Legacy means leaving the door open for others.”

A Stay to Remember
We believe the best stays are about more than beautiful rooms. They are about the people you’re with, the memories you make, and how you feel when you leave.
Whether you come to celebrate a milestone or simply to rest and reconnect, The Mabella welcomes you with open arms — just like Mabel would have.
