Set on a pristine private atoll off the coast of Belize, Turneffe Island Resort is celebrated for its exceptional flats fishing program. Anglers pursue bonefish, permit, and tarpon across miles of productive, lightly pressured flats, guided by experienced professionals who tailor to your skill level and conditions. When not on the water, guests can explore coral reefs through world-class diving and snorkeling adventures rich with marine life. Comfortable beachfront cabanas, fresh island cuisine, and attentive hospitality create a relaxed yet refined tropical experience unlike any other.
The fishing program at Turneffe Island Resort features world-class flats fishing for bonefish, permit, and tarpon across vast, lightly pressured waters. Guests can also enjoy exciting reef fishing for snapper, grouper, barracuda, and other hard-fighting species along the vibrant Belize Barrier Reef.
Accommodations at Turneffe Island Resort range from private beachfront cabanas to spacious villas, each offering ocean views, air conditioning, and elegant island décor. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and privacy, every option places guests just steps from the sea.
A 7–8 wt is ideal for bonefish, while a 9–10 wt works for permit and juvenile tarpon. For large migratory tarpon (May–Sept), use an 11–12 wt. Tropical floating lines are recommended. A full gear list will follow confirmation, and Frontiers can advise on gear or arrange rentals if needed.
Reaching Turneffe Island Resort is effortless, with international flights into Belize City followed by a scenic 1.5–2 hour boat transfer across turquoise Caribbean waters to the private atoll. Beyond world-class flats fishing, guests can explore vibrant coral reefs through scuba diving and snorkeling, enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, birdwatching, or simply relax on pristine white-sand beaches. The resort also features a pool, spa treatments, fresh island cuisine, and attentive, personalized service, ensuring an unforgettable tropical getaway for anglers, couples, families, & groups alike.
