Freestanding Cabanas Along Belizean Atoll

Of the three atolls off Belize’s coast, Turneffe Atoll has the most biologically diverse coral reefs, since the mangrove-speckled islands act as nurseries for tropical fish, manatees, and dolphins. Located on an island within Turneffe Atoll, Blackbird Caye Resort overlooks a 2-mile-long private beach nestled among coconut trees and 1,300 acres of jungle.

With ocean temperatures hovering around 82 degrees, scuba diving and snorkeling are Turneffe Atoll’s main attractions. More than 70 diving and snorkeling sites are within a 15-minute boat ride of Blackbird. Explore shallow reefs on snorkeling trips, which take you among coral, sea fans, and brightly colored fish. Use the resort’s complimentary sea kayaks to navigate mangrove-laden lagoons and spot dolphins. The following activities are available at the island for purchase: three daily dives including the tanks, weights and weight belts, two daily snorkeling trips, paddle boarding, kayak expeditions, and one weekly trip to Lighthouse Reef where the famous Great Blue Hole is located. This excursion includes 2 other sites and barbecue lunch at the private island of Half Moon Caye.

After a day spent exploring the sea, retire to your modern private beachfront cabana. All of the cabanas come with air conditioning and private porches with hammocks. The newly renovated duplex cabanas are especially nice for two couples traveling together, since they consist of two cabanas with one queen bed in each and a shared front porch overlooking the ocean.

Each day, the resort’s palapa-style restaurant at the main dock serves three meals of fresh island cuisine. Dinner is a sit-down affair with your choice of meat, chicken, or fish, plus a housemade dessert. You can also grab a snack or drink while lounging by the recently installed infinity pool, which overlooks the pristine Caribbean beach. If you walk down the beach’s two whitewashed docks that extend into the Caribbean, you might spot bonefish, barracuda, stingrays, and nurse sharks.

Turneffe Atoll, Belize: World-Class Scuba Diving and Snorkeling

Located about 25 miles off the coast of Belize City, Blackbird Caye Resort is only a short boat ride from the Great Blue Hole, one of Belize’s most iconic natural landmarks. Located near the middle of Lighthouse Reef, the Great Blue Hole is a 484-foot-deep limestone sinkhole that forms a nearly perfect circle in a brilliant shade of navy blue. As divers descend into the hole, they see limestone stalactites and stalagmites hanging off the walls.

Half Moon Caye Natural Monument in the southeast corner of Lighthouse Reef is home to some of Belize’s most exotic land animals as well as a diverse assortment of underwater creatures. Rare red-footed boobies nest on the cay for about 10 months out of the year.
