Description

Located at 17°27’43″N 87°52’15″W, this exceptional parcel sits within the world-renowned Turneffe Atoll, one of Belize’s most sought-after marine destinations. Offering sea access on both the front and rear boundaries, this is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial island property in a region experiencing steady growth in eco-tourism and high-end development.

Turneffe Atoll is the largest and most biologically diverse coral atoll in the Western Hemisphere — known globally for its world-class fishing, diving, and untouched natural beauty.

Property Overview

• Location: Turneffe Atoll, Belize

• Coordinates: 17°27’43″N 87°52’15″W

• Sea frontage (Front & Rear): Approximately 851 feet

• Side Boundary 1: Approximately 1,329 feet x 1,179 feet

• Configuration: Dual water frontage – front and back

Approximate Total Area

approximate 958,320 square feet Equivalent to roughly 22 acres

This substantial land mass provides exceptional flexibility for master planning and phased development.

Dual Sea Access – A Distinct Advantage

Few properties in Belize offer water access on both sides, creating:

• Natural cross-breezes

• Multiple docking opportunities

• Private beach development potential

• Sunrise and sunset exposure

• Marina or overwater bungalow possibilities

This configuration significantly enhances both luxury and resort-style development potential.

Distance & Accessibility

Turneffe Atoll is located approximately 30–35 miles east of Belize City, accessible by boat in roughly 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on vessel type and sea conditions.

Belize City offers:

• Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (international gateway)

• Major marinas and marine supply access

• Commercial banking and logistics

• Tourism transport connections

This makes the property remote enough for exclusivity, yet close enough for operational convenience.

The Area – Turneffe Atoll

Turneffe Atoll carries a rich maritime history, once home to coconut plantations and small fishing settlements. Over time, it has evolved into one of Belize’s most prestigious eco-tourism and sport fishing destinations.

The atoll is internationally recognized for:

• World-class fly fishing (permit, tarpon, bonefish)

• Exceptional scuba diving and snorkeling

• Extensive coral reef systems

• Protected marine reserves

• Sustainable tourism initiatives

The establishment of the Turneffe Atoll Marine Reserve strengthens long-term environmental preservation — a key driver of sustainable property value.

Marine Life & Natural Environment

The surrounding waters are home to:

• Vibrant coral formations

• Nurse sharks and reef sharks

• Sea turtles

• Eagle rays and stingrays

• Tropical reef fish

• Lobster and conch

• Dolphins and migratory species

This biodiversity attracts divers, anglers, eco-travelers, and yacht tourism from North America and Europe.

Investment & Tourism Growth Potential

Belize’s tourism industry continues to expand steadily, with increasing international attention on eco-resorts, sustainable island development, and experiential travel.

This property’s size and layout allow for:

• Boutique island resort development

• Private estate compound

• Luxury eco-villas

• Sport fishing lodge

• Wellness retreat

• Marina-based concept

• Phased hospitality development

With over 1 million square feet of land and dual sea frontage, the scale supports high-end, low-density luxury planning — a format currently in demand within Belize’s tourism market.

Why This Property Stands Out

• Dual sea frontage (front and rear access)

• Located within one of the Caribbean’s most biologically rich marine ecosystems

• Close proximity to Belize City and international travel access

• Scarcity of comparable Turneffe inventory

A Strategic Long-Term Coastal Asset

Island and atoll properties in Belize continue to attract international investors seeking stability, tourism-driven income, and long-term appreciation.

Turneffe Atoll offers a rare combination of:

• Accessibility

• Ecological prestige

• Development scale

• Growing tourism recognition

• Natural scarcity

This is more than a waterfront parcel — it is a large-scale coastal investment positioned within one of Belize’s most celebrated marine environments.
