Turneffe Island Lodge is the only resort on the 12-acre island, so there's plenty of elbow room. In addition, there are only 14 guest rooms, all of which ring the perimeter of the island to catch the cool ocean tradewinds.

The cottages and facilities were built in the early 1960s. Though modernized in the mid-1990s, they have retained their original feeling of old Caribbean charm. Each cottage has ceiling fans, air conditioning, private baths and a screened verandah overlooking the Caribbean. The view is one of total tranquility — a few palm-tree islands in the distance and, except for the occasional passing sailboat, absolutely no sign of the fast-paced world left behind.

The lodge's tiny 12-acre island home is surrounded by one of the most fertile marine ecosystems in the world. Beautiful poling flats on both sides of the entire Atoll system which is 30 miles long and 8 miles wide. 

The productive interior flats, creeks, channels and lagoons are dotted by literally hundreds of mangrove that islands throughout the shallow interior of the Turneffe Atoll. It's home to millions of baitfish, crabs and shrimp serving as the first link in the undersea food chain.

The lodge is located on the Southern end of the Atoll in the heart of the most productive geographic area of the 30 mile long Atoll. No long boat rides to fish rolling tarpon every morning and the bonefish flats are minutes away. To preserve this special fishery, the lodge has limited the number of anglers each week and rotate fishing certain flats to insure the fish stay hungry and happy. English is the native language of Belize, a former English colony. Lodge guides have years of experience fishing these waters.
