The serenely beautiful Bird Island is just 20 minutes away from the village of Placencia, Belize, is a small island inside a coral-reef.
The central theme of Bird Island is a Robinson Crusoe style, self-catering adventure with all the comforts; where one could get to do their own thing in total privacy. You have the whole island to yourself.
The island has a new main house at one end and a separate cabana on the other, perfect for lounging in the afternoon sun, sangria in hand. It is surrounded by extremely shallow crystal-clear waters; you can snorkel, swim, wade or even take the paddle boat or canoe right from the island and adventure along the nearly mile long atoll or nearby islands.
The island also features a barbeque fire pit, sundeck, a well-stocked pantry and kitchen and a landline phone should you need to contact the outside world. It even has Wifi, so you can keep your Facebook friends up to date on your luxury holiday
Spending time at Bird Island, even for the shortest of time, you will feel like you have done something special.
