The resort is centred around a main lodge where reception, dining, and other social activities take place. It is famed as much for its saltwater flyfishing on the turtle grass flats, as it is for its Turneffe Reef diving in deeper water.
Your accommodation will consist of an air-conditioned beachfront cabana or villa overlooking white sands, with views of lush mangroves and waves breaking over the Caribbean Sea. The villas comprise 3 bedrooms each and have a number of private facilities making them a great choice for families or groups. With 8 cabanas and 2 villas, it is an uncrowded resort and, with many non-diving guests, you can expect small dive groups and a smooth and relaxed diving experience.
From Turneffe Flats you can discover the best of the atoll's dive sites, making 3 dives per day, plus daytrips to the Blue Hole and Lighthouse Reef. Unlike Ambergris, Turneffe is a very quiet atoll with little in the way of distractions. Turneffe Flats promises good service and a laid-back tropical island atmosphere, the perfect setting for a Belize diving holiday.
