Turtle Inn

This 25-room seafront escape features individual cottages, where just steps beyond your private deck Turtle Inn is a true labor of love.

Less than a year after Francis and Eleanor Coppola acquired this beachside refuge in 2001, it was swept out to sea by the forces of Hurricane Iris. Turning disaster into triumph, the Coppolas led a two-year reclamation project that has created a magnificent luxury hotel in Belize that consistently ranks among the best in Central and South America. This 25-room seafront hideaway combines natural wo

nders with luxury style. Luxury Belize resort dwellings are in individual thatched cottages, decorated with handcrafted Balinese furnishings and are naturally cooled by the ever-present sea breezes. Just steps beyond your private deck, the white-sand beach dissolves into the clear Caribbean Sea. In addition, the resort has two infinity swimming pools for your daily enjoyment. With its friendly, attentive staff, three restaurants, a rejuvenating spa and idyllic seafront setting, Turtle Inn is a perfect refuge for those seeking a truly relaxing and tranquil getaway. Our unique Belize location also provides a wealth of exciting activities. The coral reef just offshore offers some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving in the world, and our dive shop can accommodate both beginners and experienced divers. Inland hikes to hidden lagoons, boat trips up the Monkey River and a short bicycle ride into our local, typical Belizean town will enrich guests’ experience of Magical Belize.

A special sighting at Turtle Inn by our resident ornithologist, Melvin Arevalo — the Stygian owl is a rare and remarkable bird in Belize.🦉

More commonly seen around the property are birds such as the Hooded Oriole, Squirrel cuckoo and Cinnamon hummingbird.

Join Melvin for a guided stroll through the grounds, or venture with him to Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary and Mayflower Bocawina National Park for the chance to spot spectacular species like the Lovely Cotinga, Ornate Hawk-Eagle and Rose-throated Tanager, as well as a host of colorful toucans, parrots and hummingbirds, among Belize’s 590 recorded birds.🦜

“The Sunset Spa is designed after a traditional Balinese rice field hut with outdoor pavilions for al fresco treatments if you so desire, and it’s the perfect place to retreat to after a full day. From a range of traditional Thai massages, perfected by staff that studied at Bangkok’s Wat Pho Temple, and facial treatments featuring handmade products from , a San Francisco-based botanical skincare company with a devoted following, don’t be surprised if you find yourself coming back for more.” -

🌺 Every morning, our gardening team gathers fresh blooms from the property, placing them in the many bird baths scattered throughout the grounds—a ritual that brings beauty to each day.
