Previous Page
Discover your own private island at Cayo Espanto, where paradise and luxury
come together as one. This new, five star, world class resort is for the
discriminating few who demand the best life has to offer. We invite you to spend
enchanting evenings and unforgettable days overlooking the Caribbean while our
staff overlooks nothing.
Located three miles from San Pedro in the calm waters of the Western
Caribbean, off the coast of Belize, Cayo Espanto is truly a spectacular
and private retreat. Although Belize is less than two hours from Miami
and Houston, it remains virtually undiscovered.
Select your accommodations from our four premium Caribbean front villas or
two smaller Caribbean front bungalows, all on a private island spanning four
acres. Cayo Espanto, a private island paradise combines the ultimate in luxury
and seclusion. With only six houses and a staff to guest ratio of two to one,
you will always feel you have the island to yourself.
Travel Info
Guest will fly into Belize International Airport on US Airways,
American, Continental or TACA Airlines. Flights are available from Charlotte (3
hours and 37 minutes), Miami (1 hour and 40 minutes), Houston (1 hour and 55
minutes) and Dallas (2 hours and 30 minutes).
Upon arrival, guests clear immigration and claim their luggage. Wheeled carts
are provided at no charge. Guests are permitted to bring one to two bottles of
liquor or eight bottles of wine into Belize per person.
Next, guests clear customs where they will be greeted by a variety of
friendly baggage handlers. They will assist you with your luggage once you
arrive at customs and beyond. They will do all the lifting onto and off of the
customs counters for you if you allow them. Gratuity for baggage handlers is
usually fifty cents - one dollar US per bag. Margie, from the Cayo Espanto Staff
will meet you outside Customs. Guests flying to San Pedro, will proceed around
the corner to Maya Island Air where they check in for their flight. This airline
uses planes ranging in size from 20 passenger Caravans to Cessna 172s. Round
trip travel on Island Air costs about $125 US. You can pay with a credit card.
We will make all the arrangements for you. Flights are frequent. A five
passenger Cessna 206 can be chartered for about US$350.00 (one way). This is an
excellent option that can reduce wait times.
The flight time is 17 minutes and includes beautiful views of various islands
and the second largest barrier reef in the world (it will be on your right).
Keep an eye out for manatee as you leave the mainland and look for rays and
dolphins as you get closer to the islands.
Before boarding, ask your pilot to let you know when Cayo Espanto is in view.
Just before landing in San Pedro, you will see Cayo Espanto to the left (you
should recognize it from photos). You will be met at the San Pedro airport by
our staff and taken via golf cart directly to one of our shuttle boats just a
few hundred yards away. You will enjoy a 7 minute ride to Cayo Espanto. Your
luggage will be handled for you the entire time.
