About this property
Includes Snorkeling & Reef Fishing Tours and Dining
Welcome to Playa Del Sol Resort, your peaceful haven 10 miles north of Ambergris Caye, Belize.
Here, the Caribbean breeze, turquoise waters, and lush tropical gardens come together to create a tranquil hideaway designed for relaxation, adventure, and connection — far from the hustle and bustle of town. Most of our guests visit town only once and quickly realize they never want to go back.
Each guest group at Playa Del Sol enjoys complimentary snorkeling and fishing tours — explore the colorful coral and vibrant sea life of Mexico Rocks Marine Reserve, and experience the thrill of catching fish by the reef, guided by our experienced in-house team. Our 28-foot boat with a brand-new engine ensures comfort, speed, and safety for every excursion.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the magic of the island. Playa Del Sol is located only 800 yards from the Belize Barrier Reef, the second largest in the world, offering unmatched access to world-class snorkeling, diving, and fly-fishing.
With over 14 years of island experience, our team makes sure your stay is smooth, enjoyable, and completely secure.
Your stay begins with genuine Belizean hospitality — welcome cocktails upon arrival, followed by complimentary dinners served every night of your stay. Each evening features a freshly prepared Belizean or international dish made with local ingredients and island flair. It’s our way of saying welcome home — and one of the many reasons why most of our guests return year after year.
Start each morning with a breathtaking sunrise from the pier, then relax beside our one and only manta ray–shaped pool, or wander through the tropical garden, home to iguanas, hummingbirds, and ospreys. In the afternoon, indulge in a massage, facial, manicure, or pedicure from our in-house spa services — all available right here at the resort for your total comfort and privacy.
At the heart of Playa Del Sol is El Norte Bar & Grill, a lively, barefoot gathering spot serving fresh tropical cocktails, ice-cold local beers, and delicious Belizean and international dishes. El Norte stays open as long as our guests wish — the laughter often lasts as long as the moonlight. It’s a place where new friendships are made, stories are shared, and the rhythm of the island never stops.
The resort’s unique architecture blends tropical charm, Mediterranean elegance, and Belizean craftsmanship, creating a seamless harmony between indoor and outdoor living.
The guest house is bright and airy, featuring high ceilings, large windows, and open-plan living and dining areas. Handcrafted hardwood furniture and local artistry fill each space with warmth and character. Every room includes air conditioning and ceiling fans, and a state-of-the-art kitchen makes cooking a joy — though most of our guests fall in love with our food and prefer to ask for the recipes instead.
Enjoy outdoor dining beneath the palms, romantic moments on the pier, or relaxed afternoons at El Norte with island soul food and ocean breezes. Whether you’re celebrating love, family, or friendship, we’ll make it unforgettable — birthday cakes and private celebrations are happily arranged upon request.
For anglers, Playa Del Sol is truly special. Our location lies within one of Belize’s best fly-fishing zones, known for Bonefish, Tarpon, and Permit — the legendary “Grand Slam.” You can also fish directly from our private pier with our complimentary fishing gear, perfect for a peaceful sunset session.
We are also proud to be the only resort on the island with a private in-house boat service, offering complete flexibility for custom trips, snorkeling adventures, spearfishing, and island-hopping excursions — always safe, personal, and tailored to you.
When you’re ready to explore more of Belize, our team will help organize unforgettable adventures to Mayan ruins, the Blue Hole, cave tubing, zip-lining, the Belize Zoo, and beyond.
