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.

With only four cabanas and a staff-to-guest ratio of one-to-one, you will always feel you have the island to yourself.

A private, sea-front freshwater pool in every cabana, romantic dining on a personal verandah and alfresco showers are just some of the memories guests will take home with them.

Serene days begin with a breathtaking sunrise and breakfast brought to you in bed. The second-longest barrier reef in the world is only a short distance from Cayo Espanto and world-class snorkeling and SCUBA diving and fly-fishing are just a part of the adventure that awaits.

Adventurous days are followed by even more romantic evenings, as quiet hammocks swaying in the breeze lull you into relaxation.

As the sun disappears into the sea, and all of your desires are met. Let Cayo Espanto exceed all of your fantasies of your own tropical paradise.

Your private island dining, led by chef Todd Unkefer, will surpass your expectations. His medal-winning creations will be tailored with your personal cravings in mind. Our chefs recently won 25 percent of the medals awarded at the 1999 Taste of the Caribbean culinary competition which involved more than 500 chefs.

Additional amenities include: air-conditioning, private golf course, transportation between Cayo Espanto and San Pedro, private tours, peddle boats, sea kayaks, Red Cross certified staff, butlers pantry, CD library and stereo, satellite television, Internet connection, fresh towels laid by the pool throughout the day, oversized Frette robes, iced towels delivered while sunbathing and a bed dressed in Yves de Lormes sheets.
