“An intimate resort set on a spectacular private island surrounded by reef. Yellow wooden cottages have beautiful varnished mahogany and teak interiors. There's a spa and a large outdoor pool but the beaches and surrounding diving and fishing are the real lures. Ideal for couples or families.”

Turneffe Island Resort

Belize is enjoying a moment with the opening of several new luxury hotels, but time stands still (in a good way) at this classic fishing lodge.
