Dear Reader: This website is a collection of architectural renders, reference photographs and actual photographs which is intended to depict the design intent for Zama Caye. It is intended to give the reader a good sense of the Look and Feel of how Zama Caye is going to be.
First of its kind in Belize
As guests step off the boat onto the arrival dock, they know that they have arrived somewhere magical. Its lush tropical gardens and beautiful indigenous trees beckon them in.
Private paradise
The understated luxury and privacy of Zama’s one-bedroom villas, generously sized two-bedroom villas, all with their own private plunge pools, are places of rest and relaxation where our guests can forget about the cares of the world and slow down to island time.
Nurturing senses
Guests can also enjoy yoga and holistic therapies at our spa, located in an oasis of calm within the island – above a water garden. Dining options abound, with three choices of restaurant depending on the time of day, and the experience our guests are looking for.

Lovely lunches by the pool or delicious picnics while out exploring.
Dining graciously with friends, candlelit dinners filled with laughter and stories shared of the day’s adventures.

This together with an exciting wine and champagne program will excite even the most discerning pallets.
The Jewel of Central America
Amazing Landscape
Not only is Belize blessed with pristine rain forests, Mayan ruins, rivers, waterfalls, caves and beaches, it is also home to the World’s second largest barrier reefs and hundreds of Islands.
Getting a lot of Attention
These islands, known as ’Cayes’ can be privately owned and there are already big players such as Four Seasons Resorts and Leonardo Di Caprio who are developing islands in the North of the country.
Unexplored Opportunities
Southern Belize is known for it’s rich sea life, whale sharks and manatees. It is also a fly-fishing mecca with some of the World’s most sought after fish species such as bonefish, permit and tarpon within easy reach of the Cayes and the mainland.
