Bird Island (just 6 miles from Placencia, Belize) offers the unique opportunity of having your very own island all to yourself with either your loved one, family or group of friends in comfort and in absolute privacy. It is located inside one of the most beautiful shallow-water atolls in Belize. It offers the full spectrum - from true relaxation to endless choices of outdoor activities right outside your door. The original concept of Bird Island which we still adhere to after many years is to provide a uniquely fun island experience at a very-affordable price but giving up very little. While our competitors emphasize super luxury foremost (and have to charge thousands of dollars per night), we rather offer true comfort but also fun things to do.

While our competitors emphasize super luxury foremost (and have to charge thousands of dollars per night), we rather offer true comfort but also fun things to do. A recent guest (Melissa) said it best in her review - "Be prepared to never stay at a typical resort again because everything will pale in comparison." If comradeship with only people you know while having the choice of doing many fun activities together like kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, underwater exploring, fishing, fire chats is your interests, while being totally free in an informal private setting, you will definitely be coming to the right place as one can surmise from the hundreds of very kind and grateful reviews we have received from our guests over the last 8 years. And when staying at Bird Island, there is no need to go on expensive tours anywhere else since you really are already 'there'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Notes: (Updated February, 2024) >> Reservations: It is important that the reservation is indeed accurate as to the number of guests actually coming since it helps us plan for your stay that much better. The island's capacity is 8 persons. >> Price: The base price is $895 for the first two (2) guests. $100 per person per night beyond that. >> Length of stay: We have a minimum of 4 days; most guests book for 5 days. We do leave a 24-hour window between guests for general cleaning and maintenance. >> The overall sequence of events for our guests on the day they are going to the island is: 1- meet at our Bird Island office if already staying in Placencia or meet you at Placencia airport if arriving the same day as reservation, 2- personal equipment outfitting at our office; 3- go food shopping (very close by) and off we go. The entire process takes approximately one hour since Placencia is a small village. >> General Meeting Place: Unless other arrangements have been made, the best meeting place is at our Bird Island office at 11am (or later) on the day of departure which is right on main street in Placencia, where the sidewalk crosses the main road in the very middle of town. Placencia is a small village with one mainstreet. >> Getting to Placencia from Belize City Airport is now much easier with the just-opened coastal road that bypasses the mountains roads and the city of Belmopan. Price does not include the transport from Belize City to Placencia, though now it is a simpler and very inexpensive affair. ~By Shuttle: The shuttle service we recommend is Truly Wild - their prices each way are: $275usd for 2 people, $300usd for 4 and $325usd for 6 people . (2.5 hour drive or less.) ~By Rental Car: The auto rental establishments we have heard the best opinions on is Pancho's - (their prices ranging from $75usd-$100usd). Also Crystal (their prices ranging between $53usd-$100usd). Their places of establishment are right at the Belize City international airport where you will be landing. (2.5 hr drive or less.) ~By Air: (Maya or Tropic Air) About $130 USD each way per person. Only 40-minute flight. When it is only two persons involved, flying is the most inexpensive option. (Note: If going to Bird Island the same day as arriving, the shuttle/rental car route works best if one is arriving in Belize International Airport by 2pm or so since it is now only a 2.5hr drive to Placencia. Plus (1) hour for food shopping and 20 minutes to get to the island. It gets dark in Belize by 6:30pm. If arriving to Belize International well after 2pm it is best to ~fly~ to Placencia if leaving for the island on the same day. Staying a day in the village of Placencia prior to coming to the island is also a great idea since it is a safe and fun place to be. >> Exclusivity. Yes, when you book Bird Island, you will have the entire island all to yourself in absolute privacy. There is no staff on the island, unless you ask for our cook, which makes Bird Island the only truly totally-private island opportunity in Belize. >> Accommodations: The island has 4 separate places to stay in (with 7 beds) and each with their own bathroom. It can accommodate 8 persons, especially today when the island has undergone so many
