8 Days / 7 Nights

This package is for those who are interested in a private island experience and the ultimate in luxury, privacy and service. Cayo Espanto is a private island resort located just west of Ambergris Caye. To get there you can take a puddle jumper from the International Airport to Ambergris Caye where the resort will pick you up and take you by boat to the island. Or you can charter a private helicopter to take you directly to the island. This ultra-exclusive resort is where paradise and luxury come together. It is for the discriminating few who demand the best life has to offer. There are only 5 villas spaced out around the island to offer complete privacy from each other. The villas are elegantly decorated and have every amenity you can imagine: infinity pools, private docks, wrap-around verandahs and more. You even get your own butler, who responds “it will be my pleasure” to your every request! The chef actually visits you each day to discuss what you would like to eat where nothing is off the menu. Here, it is all about 2 words, privacy and service. The staff to guest ratio is 3 to 1, imagine that. It has been featured on the cover of Caribbean Travel & Life magazine and visited by several celebrities like Tiger Woods and Leonardo Di Caprio. If you want the ultimate Belize private island experience, this is the place to go.

Service & Attention to Detail at Cayo Espanto Private Island Resort

This is not necessarily a tour, but the service and attention to detail offered on this private island deserves its own description. The staff are meticulously trained and work mostly without you ever seeing them. Your personal butler will tend to your every wish. Meals are prepared with care and from the best ingredients. The massage included in this package is given surrounded by a relaxing natural setting, whether it’s on a cool dock over the sea or under the shade of palm trees. The private beach picnic is set up on a deserted nearby island. The staff will prepare everything before you arrive. You can stay as long as you like and just call when you’re ready to be picked up. The almost invisible staff insures that your private island experience really turns out like a dream.

Private Excursion to the Maya Ruins Of Lamanai by puddle jumper (you'll get there in 20 minutes instead of a 2 hour boat ride)

This mystical Maya ruin, located in northern Belize, had one of the longest histories known in the Maya world, being continuously occupied from 1500 BC to 1675 AD. It offers one of Belize’s largest ceremonial centers, perched right along the New River Lagoon. It displays all the major phases of Maya architecture from Preclassic to the Postclassic Periods. Howler monkeys and many species of tropical birds live in the surrounding jungle. Nearby lay the remains of an old sugar mill as well. What makes this site unique is that it was still inhabited when the first Spanish conquistadors arrived. How Lamanai survived the cataclysm that devastated the other Mayan cities is unknown.

Private Snorkeling or Scuba Diving Tour of Hol Chan Marine Reserve & Shark Ray Alley.

This diving and snorkeling site is located just 20 minutes from the island. It was named as one of the best animal dives in the Caribbean. Hol Chan is centered around a channel that cuts the Barrier Reef, surrounded by a variety of coral and marine life. Shark Ray Alley, as the name says, is where you will find a lot of nurse sharks and also plenty of southern sting rays. They are quite harmless, but make for an exciting dive. Within this marine reserve there are many Scuba diving sites, which include spur and groove canyons, walls and even swim-through tunnels.
