Villa Makana on the Beach on Jamaica is a truly spectacular estate right on the water in scenic Discovery Bay. Located on the desirable north shore between Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, this magnificent 9,500 square foot, seven-bedroom home comes with a full staff and desirable onsite amenities, making it the perfect choice for intimate weddings and family gatherings.

Villa Makana is tucked away amid lushly landscaped grounds at the edge of the Caribbean Sea. The outdoor area is beautifully designed to take advantage of the contours of the natural environment. Walk down the stone stairway to discover a private stretch of beach with powdery white sand and turquoise water lapping at the shore. A shaded gazebo is strategically placed on a point jutting into the sea, capturing cooling island breezes and providing glorious views of tropical Jamaican sunsets. The circular outdoor hot tub is surrounded by palm trees, flowering shrubs and tropical vegetation, enhancing the illusion of being immersed in the warm waters of a natural pool. The 36-foot infinity edge swimming pool seems to blend with the waters of the sea. Villa Makana has it all, from a professional sized floodlit tennis court to wellness area for personal massages and an air-conditioned gym with a Bowflex, treadmill and Stairmaster. Take advantage of complimentary snorkel equipment and sea kayaks on the premises, with more water sports available nearby.

Villa Makana is beautifully furnished indoors and out for a memorable Jamaica-style vacation. Enjoy comfortable sofas in the living room, a long dining table and a combination family room/home office with apple computer, printer, telephone and fax. There is wireless Internet throughout. The villa features ten flat screen cable TVs with one in each of the seven bedrooms.

Have your personal chef prepare sumptuous meals in the gourmet kitchen, and ask to be served outdoors in the al fresco dining area. Villa Makana is child-friendly, with adjacent bedrooms and onsite play areas for children.

Villa Makana additional amenities:
Puerto Seco Beach – Complimentary to guests on Discovery Bay. Located near the entrance of Fortlands Road (a 10-15 minute walk or 3 minute drive from your villa), is the newest water park & beach club to the North Coast.  For various fees, guests may enjoy the large aqua park, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaks & paddleboards.

My family and I stayed at the Makana last month in Discovery Bay, Jamaica and the experience exceeded our expectations! My family is made up of multiple generations from 60’s to 5 years old to celebrate some birthdays, anniversaries, and just life, and there was something for everyone.

The property was clean, well manicured and maintained, and beautiful with all the amenities a private villa generally have including a private beach, hot tub, pool, patios, air conditioning, tennis/pickleball/basketball court, gym, kayaks, etc. The property felt light, open, spacious, and calming. There was an on-site full service staff and private chef and their service, accommodations, and knack for learning and anticipating our needs was top notch. They kept reminding us that we were on vacation and it was their job to serve us and we just relax and enjoy. Chef Denise and Tonya prepared fantastic dishes from scratch and made with pride and love. And the housekeeping staff along with Kevin, Devin, Henry, and Courtney took excellent care of us. One night the staff had a bon fire on the beach and the kids got to make s’mores and another night they arranged for a live band to come and perform for us. So much fun! We truly felt rested, at ease, and joyful!

The weather was fantastic and the warmth was great for my soul and energy. I felt re-grounded and connected to the earth and myself. I was outside and in the water everyday and being in consistent contact with nature does wonders for our mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health, well-being, and peace of mind.

Thank you for a memorable experience. We will be back!

It has taken me a few weeks to come up with the words to describe our trip to Makana Discovery Bay. This vacation was a trip of a lifetime and the villa and its staff provided us with everything we could have dreamed of for a vacation. The entire staff was attentive to our every want or need. Devon, Kevin, Courtney and Henry did their absolute best to make sure the week was enjoyable We had 3 young children in our group and the staff did all they could to make those children happy. Every day brought a culinary delight from Chef Denise and her kitchen staff. I'm sorry I don't know the housekeeper's names, they were magical as they moved throughout the villa to clean our rooms retrieve dirty clothes to wash, and return them. We met with some of our friends we traveled with over the Thanksgiving weekend and we are still sharing memories and laughs from our week at Makana

Isle Blue provided us with the opportunity for a once -in- a- lifetime vacation. I can't recommend them enough

Common Questions
Do we share the villa? click to close
No. You will not share the villa with another party. The villa is exclusively yours. If a larger villa offers a lower bedroom rate category, the villa will remain exclusively yours but the unrented bedrooms will be locked off.
For example, a 5 bedroom villa that offers a 3 bedroom rate will be the exclusive use of the guest but two bedrooms and their en-suite bathrooms will be locked off. Capacity is capped at 2 guests per bedroom.
Are we protected from fraud? click to open
Yes. Isle Blue stands behind you throughout your entire vacation. Unlike other companies, each property we offer has been hand picked to ensure that our standards are met. All property managers are vetted and payments are required to be held in escrow. Our primary obligation is to ensure your satisfaction and to have an exceptionally memorable vacation.
Can you explain the reservation process? click to open

Early check in may be possible but is at the sole discretion of the property manager. Early check in permission may not be granted until 24 hours prior to arrival.
Can we arrange a late check out? click to open
A late check out is rarely granted due to the turnover needs of a villa. A late check out may only be granted 24 hours prior to your departure from the property and only when there is no check in scheduled on the day of your check out. If a late check out is urgently needed please contact us.
Are transfers to the property included? click to open
Select villas may include a one way or roundtrip airport transfer while others may provide an escort or meeting point. Arrival logistics will be handled by your dedicated concierge as well as other concierge needs. The property's transfer policy will be listed under the Policies section.

The arrival procedures vary from villa to villa, select villas may include welcome provisioning while other properties will provide basic arrival information.

Since these vacation homes are one of a kind properties, the cancellation policy is strict. We highly recommend considering trip/travel insurance to protect against any unexpected cancellations or issues that may arise.
For more details, please visit Travel Protection
What happens if the property becomes unavailable after I reserve? click to open
In the unlikely event, the rented property becomes unavailable due to a major issue that may affect a guest's experience or a transfer of ownership, Isle Blue will coordinate with the property manager to find an alternate property of equal or superior standard that is subject to the guest's approval. If an alternate property is not acceptable to the guest, the guest will receive a full refund.

Yes, we accept all major credit cards. American Express, Visa, Mastercard and Discover are accepted. Please note that credit card charges may be subject to additional fees. There are no fees with payment by wire transfer or check.
In the near future, we expect to accept a greater variety of payment methods and currencies via Stripe.

Housekeeping tends to be a standard among vacation homes but the frequency may vary greatly depending on the property manager’s standards. Most properties will offer daily housekeeping (except Sunday and holidays) while other villas may only provide a mid-week cleaning.
