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. It's been featured in many publications over the years. The original concept of Bird Island was and still is to provide a very-affordable place and get to share it with only your loved one, friends or family in total privacy. There is no other guests nor staff staying at the island during your stay (unless you opt for our cook). It is offered at an exceptional price in comparison to other islands; as is islands tend to be so expensive in comparison to what is offered in the mainland because of the added cost of maintaining them. If relaxing, having a great time and being totally free in an informal, self-catering setting is what you are after, 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 specifically, there is no need to go on expensive tours since you really are already 'there'.

Retired not from work, but from the maddening crowd. Came to Belize in 2010. Started Bird Island in 2013. Military Service: Vietnam Era. Then traveled throughout Central and South America for 2 years, always thought I would be back. Went to Cornell University for 5 years. Lived in Sun Valley, ID area for 7 years and then in Prescott, AZ for 23 years until 2010. My two main hobbies have been fly fishing and bird hunting with my beloved English Setters which I had the supreme honor of having for three generations encompassing 37 years. Only when necessary.

There are other islands and reefs to explore. We have 3 kayaks (2 singles, 2 double) and 2 paddle boards besides sports equipment for exploring the entire atoll. A new small fishing boat has now been added.
