Situated within the Sapodilla Cayes Marine Reserve in southern Belize, Sapodilla Private Island offers an exclusive retreat amid one of the Caribbean’s most pristine environments. The island lies near the southern tip of the Belize Barrier Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The property’s design blends contemporary comfort with the natural beauty of its surroundings. Elevated wooden walkways connect spacious, open‑air living areas to private suites, each positioned for uninterrupted ocean views. Interiors feature locally sourced hardwoods, neutral palettes, and hand‑crafted décor, creating a refined yet relaxed atmosphere.
Privacy is central to the Sapodilla experience. The island is reserved for a single booking at a time, ensuring guests have exclusive access. Staff are based nearby, arriving only when needed to prepare meals, guide excursions, or provide housekeeping — a balance that allows for attentive service without intrusion.
From May to September, the island’s sandy shores become a seasonal nesting ground for sea turtles, including hawksbill, green, and loggerhead species. Guests visiting during this period may, with care and guidance, witness one of nature’s most remarkable spectacles as female turtles come ashore under cover of darkness to lay their eggs.
The surrounding marine reserve offers exceptional opportunities for snorkeling, diving, and kayaking. Waters teem with tropical fish, rays, and sea turtles, while the mangrove ecosystems attract a variety of bird species. Guests can also arrange fishing trips, island‑hopping tours, or sunset cruises with the island’s dedicated boat captain.
An all‑inclusive package covers gourmet dining prepared by a private chef, beverages, daily housekeeping, and use of non‑motorized water sports equipment. Menus highlight fresh local seafood, tropical fruits, and Belizean flavors, tailored to individual preferences.
With its combination of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and personalized service, Sapodilla Private Island delivers a rare level of seclusion and comfort — an ideal choice for couples, small groups, or anyone seeking a private Caribbean escape that feels both luxurious and authentically connected to its environment.
