Redefining Luxury at Turtle Inn

Have you set your sights on a Caribbean getaway this year? If yes, a “star quality” resort should land atop your wish list. When it comes to the dually Caribbean and Central American country of Belize, few accommodations in the region have the cachet of Francis Ford Coppola’s Turtle Inn.

The famed auteur and his wife Eleanor found this Placencia, Belize property in 2001 and decided to turn it into a small haven for folks craving a getaway steeped in tropical luxury.  With only 25 thatch-roofed cottages (each meticulously designed and filled with Balinese furnishings), Turtle Inn is a chic and intimate refuge for the wanderlust-stricken. 

Embracing Indulgence: Turtle Inn’s Offerings

Despite its intimate scale, Turtle Inn exudes extravagance. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure, the property offers an array of experiences to captivate your senses. Indulge in the art of slow living as you lounge surrounded by lush tropical gardens and serene beach scenery. Indulge your inner epicurean and dine at any of the resort’s award-winning restaurants, including flagship restaurant Mare. Or, bask in the beauty of relaxation at the Sunset Spa, whose skilled masseuses are all trained in the ancient art of Thai massage. 

Beyond Turtle Inn itself, Belize holds a world of adventures waiting to be experienced. Explore ancient Maya sites (there are 900 of them in Belize, with more being excavated!).  Visit the world’s only jaguar preserve at the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. Experience the majesty of the Rio Blanco Waterfalls. Or, simply explore the idyllic finger of land that is the Placencia Peninsula. Regardless, the Turtle Inn crew will be more than happy to make arrangements for private or group tours.

Enjoy a Fourth Night Free

Extend your Belize vacation and stay an extra night, on the house. Turtle Inn’s popular “4th Night Free” travel deal runs from May 1 to November 15, 2024. It’s their best value offer of the year. And, it might just be the sign that it’s time for that long overdue getaway.

Regardless of whether you’re hoping to celebrate a special occasion or simply seeking a transcendent escape, Turtle Inn beckons, promising an unforgettable retreat that exceeds expectations.
