Island Resort
Authentic family experience since 1987
As one of the original Belizean family-owned island resort properties with over 30 years of serving guests from around the world, we offer a unique guest experience. Enjoy the luxury of private all inclusive island comfort without losing the authenticity of a true Belizean ambiance. The resort has been operated as a fishing and diving lodge by the same family for three generations, with the original owner, Ms. Rosella Zabaneh and her daughters and grandchildren all still actively involved in the daily operation of the business. You will taste the home goodness in the fresh meals served at Charlie’s Dining. Ms. Ros is often in the kitchen along with the Chefs, putting her special “Mom’s Touch” to our traditional Belizean family-style Sunday dinners. And you will feel the love in the care and thought put into how each and every guest is made to feel at home here on our island paradise. Come join us and become part of our Blue Marlin family!

Unique island location
Blue Marlin Beach Resort is located on one of the most beautiful pristine islands in the Caribbean. South Water Caye, a 15-acre sub-divided private island less than one mile in length and 160 yards at its widest point, is rated by Rough Guides as “one of the most beautiful and exclusive islands in Belize”. It is located in the middle of its namesake Marine Reserve which is one of the largest protected marine areas along the 190-mile long Belize Barrier Reef. The Belize Barrier Reef System was first inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1996 in recognition of the site’s incredible biodiversity and cultural significance.
