Touch down in the Garifuna fishing village by commuter flight, road transfer, or rental car, and feel the shift right away as salty air, easy smiles, and coastal rhythms set the tone. At Hopkins Bay Resort, beachside living meets community spirit, inviting you to enjoy beach games, volleyball matches, and access to bikes and kayaks for exploration. With its prime location, the resort balances adventure with the comfort of beach house-style accommodations, blending relaxation and excitement at every turn.

Where Caribbean dreams find their beachfront home.

Each beach house pairs handcrafted local wood furnishings with modern comforts, creating a stay that feels both rooted in place and effortlessly relaxing. At Hopkins Bay Resort, culture is not just something to observe, it is something to experience, from Garifuna drumming and beachside bonfires to lively dance performances. Spend the day paddling through mangroves or biking through the village, then come back to poolside lounging or a hammock nap with the Caribbean breeze.

The Rhum Shack Restaurant puts Garifuna cuisine front and center, celebrating bold flavors from the sea and the land with ingredients sourced from village fishermen and nearby farms. Fresh caught fish and vibrant tropical fruits are served in an open air setting where ocean breezes are part of the experience. Known for crafting what many call the world's best piña colada, the bar and kitchen deliver more than a meal, each dish is a celebration of local tradition and Belizean coastal bounty.
