We will make sure you always remember your island experience. Brag to your friends. You rented an island. Belize Gold Standard Accommodation.

The space
RELAX, UNPLUG, UNWIND! Hideaway Caye is a beautiful, secluded mangrove island, right in the middle of one of the most untouched reefs in the Caribbean. The island has been kept in its natural state. Elevated walkways wind throughout the island. Your stay at Hideaway Caye will be unique because you will be the only guests staying on this island. The cabana is like a treehouse nestled in the mangroves with a breezy veranda and floor to ceiling windows. Fall asleep while listening to the wind and the waves lapping against the shoreline. The Cabana is equipped with a comfortable Queen size bed, also a full-size futon for an extra guest. The veranda is furnished with a large hammock and mahogany chairs to relax and enjoy the Caribbean breeze. Downstairs is your private dock with lounge chairs and a hammock for your relaxing pleasure. Whether you are looking for a place to just relax or a bit of adventure this place is for you.

Guest access
Guests have unlimited access to kayaks, paddleboards and snorkeling gear. Your private cabana and dock are nestled on one end of the island. The restaurant and bar are just a short walk from your private cabin and private dock area. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the restaurant.

Other things to note
Hideaway Caye is great for those that need to unplug and unwind. Adventure is everywhere out here from the moment you step on the boat. You will always remember this trip. Meals are included with your stay and consist of what we catch that day while snorkeling. You can even try your luck in catching it yourself. If you have food concerns, please contact us before booking. We can accommodate most food allergies and issues but being far from shore, and grocery stores can be difficult without prior knowledge.
Even if you aren't ready to book yet give us a big heart ♥️ and add us to your wishlist.


Other FAQ:

**How do I get there? From Belize International Airport you can take a local flight (Tropic or Maya Airlines) to Dangregia airstrip. From there you take a taxi to Sittee River Marina (Hopkin's Village)


**Is pick-up always at noon? Times can vary an hour here or there. Usually the wind picks up later in the afternoon. It is also more relaxing when traveling to spend a night in Hopkins Village before your adventure to Hideaway Caye.


**How long should I stay? Most people think 2 days is not enough. If you would like to decompress, unplug and get in snorkeling and kayaking 3 to 5 days is just right.


**Can I have more than 2 people? The cabana has a queen size bed and a full-size futon in the same general space. Price is based on double occupancy. The additional charge is $100 USD per person per day. Please be aware when bringing children, they must be able to swim, sometimes the boat ride to the island can be rough, we do have dogs (not vicious, just big) and wi-fi is only available around the restaurant/bar area.

**Do we have Wi-fi? Wi-fi is available in the bar/restaurant area. It is not connected when the bar/restaurant isn’t open due to its power consumption. If you would like it turned on just ask. There is not Wi-fi in the cabana, you're on vacation.
