Truly development-ready private islands are rare in Belize. Paradise Caye is a 2.63-acre titled island in the Blue Ground Range, off the coast between Dangriga and Hopkins. It has already been filled, elevated, seawalled and built on. A new owner can skip years of groundwork and permitting and focus straight away on a private estate, a boutique resort or a high-end rental.
The island sits in protected water a short boat ride from the mainland. That makes staffing, building, provisioning and guest transfers simple while keeping the privacy that island buyers want. The Belize Barrier Reef is less than 4 miles away, about 20 minutes by boat. The water around the island is so clear that the snorkeling right off the shore rivals a reef trip. Long eastern and western waterfronts give views in both directions, and most of the shoreline can take deep-draft boats with a short pier.
On the island:
– Two master cabanas, about 700 sq. ft. each, with Belizean hardwood floors, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, air conditioning, en-suite baths and large sea-view balconies
– A 1,500 sq. ft. thatched overwater clubhouse with kitchen, dining space and a wraparound deck, ideal for a restaurant, beach club or spa
– Beachfront palapa bar and BBQ area
– Renovated piers, wooden walkways and mangrove pathways
– Professionally installed seawall, with mature coconut palms throughout
– Staff house, storage and utility areas
– Diesel generator, solar integration, rainwater catchment and island-wide water system
The optional Sittee River base:
This mainland property sits right beside Sittee River Marina and its fuel service. It gives the island a secure place to park, store gear, stage supplies and welcome guests.
– 300 ft x 50 ft riverfront parcel
– 2-bedroom waterfront cottage
– Guest casita with private bath and kitchenette
– Covered workshop and storage
– Boat parking with direct transfer to the island
Ideal as a luxury eco-resort, private family estate, wellness retreat, dive or fishing lodge, or high-end vacation rental.
