Your Island Escape Awaits
Welcome to paradise
Experience Belize the way nature intended—surrounded by the sea, kissed by the sun, and far from the crowds. Just off the coast of Placencia and within sight of the breathtaking Silk Caye Marine Reserve, Ray Caye Island Resort is a private island sanctuary where the Caribbean’s most vibrant reef meets relaxed barefoot luxury.
With nearly a mile of pristine shoreline and a limited number of guests at any given time, Ray Caye offers the kind of space and serenity that’s hard to come by. Whether you’re diving into crystal-clear waters, sipping cocktails at sunset, or simply enjoying the ocean breeze from your private cabana, life on Ray Caye moves at your pace. It’s the perfect destination for honeymoons, romantic getaways, and anyone craving total seclusion with just the right amount of adventure.
Wake up to the sound of waves in one of our Oceanfront Cabanas or indulge in a little extra luxury in our Honeymoon Villas, complete with private plunge pools and uninterrupted sea views. For more space and privacy, our 1–3 Bedroom Oceanfront Villas are ideal for families or friends traveling together, offering full kitchens, connecting rooms, open living areas, and sweeping views of the Caribbean.
Prefer a peaceful garden setting? Our Island House Rooms offer a cozy retreat surrounded by tropical greenery, still moments from the beach and all resort amenities. Wherever you stay, you’ll enjoy laid-back island living with modern comforts and the kind of quiet you only find on a private island.
