Turtle Inn

A special sighting at Turtle Inn by our resident ornithologist, Melvin Arevalo — the Stygian owl is a rare and remarkable bird in Belize.🦉

More commonly seen around the property are birds such as the Hooded Oriole, Squirrel cuckoo and Cinnamon hummingbird.

Join Melvin for a guided stroll through the grounds, or venture with him to Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary and Mayflower Bocawina National Park for the chance to spot spectacular species like the Lovely Cotinga, Ornate Hawk-Eagle and Rose-throated Tanager, as well as a host of colorful toucans, parrots and hummingbirds, among Belize’s 590 recorded birds.🦜

At the tip of a slender 26-mile peninsula on the Caribbean Sea, Turtle Inn sits with coral cayes and the Belize Barrier Reef just offshore.☀️

“The Sunset Spa is designed after a traditional Balinese rice field hut with outdoor pavilions for al fresco treatments if you so desire, and it’s the perfect place to retreat to after a full day. From a range of traditional Thai massages, perfected by staff that studied at Bangkok’s Wat Pho Temple, and facial treatments featuring handmade products from , a San Francisco-based botanical skincare company with a devoted following, don’t be surprised if you find yourself coming back for more.” -
