Turneffe Island Resort

Staying at this resort puts you in the midst of one of Belize’s most interesting marine ecosystems. While you're here, you can easily plan lots of day trips to different nature destinations in the Caribbean, and put aside plenty of time to soak up the pastoral beauty of the resort.

Turneffe Island is an archipelago made up of small coastal islands near Belize’s renowned Barrier Reef. These islands are less crowded than Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye, featuring their own surrounding reef. Staying here places you just a short distance from Lighthouse Reef. The Turneffe Islands also host mangrove forests, creating habitats for rare birds, fish, and other wildlife. Birdwatching enthusiasts should visit the nearby red-footed booby sanctuary. With the area’s rich marine biodiversity, it’s an ideal location for snorkeling, diving, or fishing.

Every accommodation at the resort includes a screened patio furnished with teak chairs and coffee tables, and all rooms are adorned with local art. Comfortable, name-brand mattresses ensure a restful night, complemented by nightly turndown service and morning coffee and tea service.

Private bathrooms are equipped with upscale amenities and hairdryers. Guests have the option to shower indoors or enjoy a more adventurous experience with an outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off sand.

For a more secluded getaway, consider one of the private villas, which are larger and more luxuriously outfitted, featuring a wraparound porch and sweeping views of the Caribbean.

Free Wi-Fi is accessible throughout Turneffe Island, including the resort. If you need to make a call, you can use the satellite phone at the hotel office. While there are no TVs or phones in the accommodations, you can request a mini-fridge or minibar for added convenience.

The dining room serves meals family-style, with an emphasis on local, in-season ingredients. Expect a variety of fresh seafood, fruits, and Belizean specialties. Meals are served at set times, but you can drop by the dining room anytime for drinks or snacks.

You can explore numerous nearby beaches or take a dip in the resort pool. The on-site spa offers a wide range of massage styles, as well as facials, body scrubs, and mani-pedis for a rejuvenating experience.
