Turneffe Island Lodge is situated on Caye Bokel, a 12 acre private Island located 30 miles from the cost of Belize on the South end of Turneffe Atoll which is part of the 200 mile long Belizean coral reef formation, the longest reef system in the western hemisphere. The Island is surrounded by one of the most fertile marine eco-system in the world. It is home to millions of baitfish, crabs, shrimp and other small aquatics, serving as the first link in the undersea food chain that supports the abundant marine life in the Caribbean.

Amenities:
The original Turneffe Island Travel Lodge was built by Mennonite craftsmen in the 1960's and recently remodeled in a casual Caribbean motif to enhance the original "old Caribbean" design.

The lodge's tastefully appointed guest rooms and mahogany cabanas are nestled between coconut palms. All rooms are air conditioned and have a wonderful view of the untouched white beaches, the coral reef, and Caribbean sea. The unique location of the lodge provides quick and easy access to the coral reef lagoons and flats.

Accommodations:
The facility consists of four lodge buildings with multiple rooms. Each room has a private bath and shower, two beds and Ceiling fans. To ensure your added comfort, all windows have screens and may be opened to enjoy the ocean breeze.

Private Cabanas:
Along the southern coastline of the island are seven private cabanas. Each unit is nestled between coconut palms lining this side of the island. The interior of each cabana from floor to ceiling is constructed from Belizean mahogany, known as some of the finest in the world.

The cabanas have been designed with oversized windows and screen porches to allow for spectacular views. They are either furnished with a queen and full size bed or with a queen bed and sitting arrangements. The sitting arrangement consists of a loveseat and two chairs ideal for socializing in the evenings. Each cabana has a separate dressing area with an oversized closet, the vanity is separate from the shower and toilet facilities.

The cabanas are without question the most preferred accommodations on the island as they allow the opportunity to enjoy the privacy and solitude that is so often sought when someone travels to a remote destination.
