All-inclusive private island resort off Dangriga with over-water cabanas and beachfront cabins. Romantic adults-only retreat with excellent snorkeling, kayaking, and personalized service. Secluded paradise experience.

Coco Plum Island Resort is an all-inclusive adults-only retreat on Coco Plum Caye, a small private island approximately nine miles off the coast of Dangriga in Belize's Stann Creek District. The resort occupies the entirety of the caye, creating an exclusive experience within the lagoon waters of the Belize Barrier Reef system. The island is reached by private boat transfer from the port of Dangriga, a crossing of approximately 20 to 30 minutes over calm, shallow Caribbean waters. Accommodation options include over-water cabanas built directly above the lagoon on wooden piers and beachfront cabins positioned along the island's sandy shore, each air-conditioned with private decks overlooking the sea. The all-inclusive rate covers all meals, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and a range of non-motorized water sports including kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear. The resort's restaurant serves three meals daily with an emphasis on fresh Belizean seafood, tropical fruits, and Caribbean-influenced cuisine. The surrounding reef waters allow snorkeling directly from the island's shore and private pier, where nurse sharks, rays, and reef fish are regularly observed in the clear shallows. Scuba diving excursions to the Belize Barrier Reef and the Blue Hole Natural Monument — a UNESCO World Heritage site — can be arranged at a surcharge through the activity desk. The island operates as a self-contained unit with its own electricity and fresh water supply. WiFi is available in the main lodge area, though the remote island setting naturally limits connectivity. Dangriga on the mainland serves as the gateway to onward excursions including Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, the world's first jaguar reserve, and the Garifuna cultural community of Hopkins Village, both approximately 30 minutes by road from the port. The dry season from November through May offers optimal weather with calm seas and excellent reef visibility. Given the all-inclusive model and limited accommodation capacity, advance booking is essential, particularly for the over-water cabanas, which are among the most sought-after units on the Belizean cayes.
