Getting Here
How do we get to the island?
On arrival day, we’ll meet you at Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport and transport you and your luggage to the resort on Turneffe Atoll. From the airport, we quickly stop at the marina, where you can freshen up before the approximately one-and-a-half-hour boat ride to the resort. Please note that there are no bathroom facilities on the boat.
Our boats are scheduled to transfer guests to the resort every Wednesday and Saturday. Arrivals and Departures outside the scheduled days will incur an out-of-schedule boat fee each way.
Guests can also travel to our resort on a chartered plane from the airport! We have a 2,000-foot runway where planes can land to drop off our guests! Two airlines offer this service – Tropic Air and Maya Airlines – both can be booked before arriving in Belize! Don’t hesitate to get in touch with our office for prices and booking details.
