Ray Caye Resort

At a Glance

Come enjoy one of Belize’s most unique and exotic properties, the beautiful Hatchet Caye. Located on a private 7-acre island 18 miles off the coast of Placencia, Hatchet Caye mixes natural beauty, exotic surroundings, and creature comforts to form one of our favorite properties in Central America.

Property Info

Hatchet Caye features just 9 elegant ocean front cabanas that combine the creature comforts of a luxury hotel with the idyllic setting of being on an island in the middle of the Caribbean. Each of the cabanas features one or two queen beds, air conditioning, ceiling fans, safes, private bathrooms with hot water showers & hair dryers, and a private deck overlooking the crystal clear water. Despite the beautiful isolation of Hatchet Caye you’ll also be able to enjoy modern amenities in your room like flat screen TVs, DVD players with DVD library, Wii Sports, and yes even complimentary wifi. Hatchet Caye also offers the option to rent out the entire island for large families, weddings, diving groups, or do-it-yourself fishing tournaments. The maximum capacity is 26 people, so with just a few friends you can live like a celebrity for the week on your own beautiful private island!

The good news about Hatchet Caye hardly ends there. The island also features a freshwater swimming pool, a north & south facing dock for swimming/snorkeling/fishing, volleyball court, dive shop, and the Lionfish Bar & Grille. Enjoy plenty of fresh fish, expertly mixed drinks, and large servings from a surprisingly diverse menu. Last but not least your stay at Hatchet Caye includes complimentary use of pedal boats, kayaks, Hobie cats, snorkeling equipment, and light tackle fishing gear if you did not bring your own. You can snorkel a reef from their southern dock until you are literally right in front of your room while rays, turtles, parrot fish, snapper, lobsters, and reef fish swim below.

Hatchet Caye is also just couple miles away from the Mesoamerican Reef and has the envious location of being minutes away from the famous Gladden Split. In addition to excellent reef fishing, the Gladden Split is one of the best places in the world to spot whale sharks from April to June. Hatchet Caye has its own fully equipped dive shop, dive boats, and dive masters so you can enjoy some of the best diving this half of the world has to offer. For anglers Hatchet Caye is not only productive, it’s strategic as well. You can literally fly fish bonefish right from the beach or go out on the dock with spinning gear and live sardines and try to catch small jacks and snapper. For the more serious anglers you can head out with Hatchet Caye’s local captain and fish the reef or Gladden Split for snapper, grouper, barracuda, and wahoo or fly fish the nearby cayes and flats for the Inshore Grand Slam – bonefish, permit, and tarpon in the same day.
