Thatch Caye Resort
A Belizean caye of thirteen cabanas, off-grid and reachable only by boat.
Thatch Caye sits inside the Belize Barrier Reef about nine miles off Dangriga, reached by boat, on a small caye with one property and no other occupants. The reef is close on several sides and the mainland's jungle is within a day.
Around thirteen cabanas — overwater and on the sand — make up the accommodation, run all-inclusive and largely off-grid on solar with rainwater collection. The island can be taken whole. The property is simple by design: no spa, no gym, no television, and a bar that runs on the honour system.
Off-grid on a barrier reef caye. Solar and rainwater on a small island is harder than it sounds and shapes what the property can offer.
Thirteen cabanas and an honour bar. The scale allows a level of informality that a larger property could not sustain.
Who it is not for
Thatch Caye is wrong for guests expecting comfort or facilities, since neither is on offer. It is wrong for travellers who need power and connectivity without limits. And it is wrong for those wanting a large beach, which the caye does not have. And it is wrong for guests who want a spa or a gym, neither of which exists. Those wanting Belizean comfort should look at Cayo Espanto or Coco Plum.
