A Private Island Stay Surrounded by the Waters of the Belize Barrier Reef
Our readers love overwater bungalows, and this private island stay off the coast of Belize might be one of the most affordable ways to experience them. 🌊
Crystal-clear Caribbean water surrounds this tiny private island just off the coast of Belize, where thatched bungalows stretch out over the sea and hammocks sway above the waves. Thatch Caye Resort – A Muy’Ono Resort (rated 4.8/5 on Tripadvisor) sits on its own small island near Dangriga and is known for its relaxed barefoot atmosphere and incredible snorkeling along the Belize Barrier Reef.
The resort is especially popular with couples and travelers looking for a quiet tropical escape with overwater stays and ocean views in every direction. Rates here can climb well over $2,000 per night, but we spotted several dates around $664 per night in June and July with a two-night minimum stay, which is a fantastic deal for a private island overwater bungalow.
We’ve highlighted the best dates we found for each month below. Want to travel at a different time? Just change the date range on Trivago and check the latest rates.
Imagine waking up with the Caribbean stretching in every direction, stepping onto your private deck, and slipping straight into warm turquoise water before breakfast. Many of the bungalows sit directly over the sea with 180-degree ocean views, hammocks, and breezy rooftop decks that are perfect for sunset drinks or late-night stargazing.
Days here revolve around snorkeling the Belize Barrier Reef, kayaking through calm island waters, relaxing on the sandy beach, and enjoying chef-prepared Belizean meals before unwinding at the laid-back Starfish Bar.
