Family Reunions at Blue Reef Island
26th August 2022
Take the whole family away for a heaping helping of quality time together. There are few better places to relax and reconnect as an extended family than a private island in Belize on the Caribbean Sea, surrounded by coral reef, world-class fishing, and once-in-a-lifetime adventures for every generation. Sometimes you have to get away to grow closer- family reunions on Blue Reef Island in Belize allow you to do just that! Escape your daily routine and reignite the spark of discovery. Activities for any age and no distractions from one another. This could be the trip your family remembers and talks about for a lifetime.
Space for Everyone
Reserve the entirety of Blue Reef Island all for yourselves. 5 comfortable casitas are speckled across white sand or tucked within marine mangrove forest. All of our casitas afford stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and are furnished with futon sofa beds for families. Each room features King-sized beds, stocked mini fridges, and enormous outside showers; the premiere cabana has its own plunge pool. Blue Reef Island can accommodate up to 20 guests and offers meal and activity options to please every generation.
Comfortable common areas around the resort quietly encourage guests to congregate and kick back. Groups gather around the pool where snacks and beverages can be brought to you by Blue Reef’s attentive and accommodating staff. The young, or just young at heart, will love spending time on the swings that are suspended over the dock and afford front row views of the sunset over the sea. The elegant, open-air dining room will become the hub of conversation for your clan as you settle in for incredible seafood meals and the fresh flavors of Belizean cuisine.
Stress-free Planning
Blue Reef’s all-inclusive, full concierge services make planning your group’s retreat easy. From transfers, to activities, to food and beverage preferences- the staff will ensure that everyone is happy and taken care of. You can coordinate with your concierge ahead of time to make a schedule of excursions or let your group decide each day what they’d like to do. The island’s top activities are fishing, diving, snorkeling, paddleboarding and kayaking, but tours to caves or Maya ruins on the mainland can be arranged as well. It can be a challenge to know which activities will be crowd-pleasers and which might not be suitable for every member of a party; we can help take the guess work out of things- no need to deep dive into researching all of the adventures yourself, we know them all and can guide you towards choices that will be perfect for your crew.
Come Together for Communal Meals
Gather around the table for good food and conversation. Reconnect and swap stories over dinner, reminisce late into the night and recount family lore over dessert or handcrafted cocktails. Mealtime is the perfect opportunity to chat, laugh, or debate: face-to-face with your family and completely hassle free. No one needs to worry about planning menus or doing the dishes; all you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the company.
Our chefs are artists with Belize’s bounty of fresh seafood, exotic fruit, and superb rum. Foodies will flip over the offerings but we can play to timid palates too. If there are any anglers in your family the kitchen is happy to cook up your catch of the day. Celebrate holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, or simply the fact that you’re all together in a private paradise.
Make New Memories
Share in this experience and chronicle it in your hearts and minds, together. The time you spend with one another and the adventures you’ll have will become priceless, precious memories. Build a legacy of iron-clad familial ties and invest in quality time. Unplug and disconnect from the demands of regular life for a week and nurture the relationships that mean the most to you.
The screaming reels of a deep-sea fishing trip, the underwater wonders viewed from skimming the surface on a guided snorkeling tour, the laughter and love shared on a remote swoop of island amid the Belize Barrier Reef—these are the times that your kids will recall and recount for years to come. The ultimate adventures are the ones you undertake with friends and family.
Make Blue Reef Island your family’s personal Shangri-la. Secluded peace of mind that feels worlds away but is easy to reach and within close proximity to the U.S. and Canada. No cars, no crowds, nothing to distract you from the natural beauty of your surroundings and your high-quality family togetherness time.
