West San Pedro (Lagoon)

Brahma Blue Resort offers a distinctly private way to stay near San Pedro, set across the lagoon from town and reached by a short boat transfer. The resort is built around spacious two- and three-bedroom suites and penthouses rather than conventional hotel rooms, giving families and groups the freedom of a private residence with fully equipped kitchens, generous living spaces, private balconies, and waterfront or garden views. Some of the largest penthouses extend to approximately 3,500 square feet and include three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The arrival itself becomes part of the experience. Guests are transported by private water taxi, crossing the lagoon before arriving at the resort, where the quieter setting immediately creates a sense of separation from the activity of San Pedro. Once settled in, days can unfold beside the pool, on the water, or simply on a private balcony overlooking the lagoon. Brahma Blue also makes it easy to turn a stay into a complete getaway. Its concierge can arrange golf carts, island flights, snorkeling, diving, tours, cruises, dining reservations, and spa treatments, while Ocean Wave Day Spa offers massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, and other treatments. Lost Gringos, located on the dock, provides Belizean and international dining, with room and pool service available. For families and groups seeking space, privacy, and a resort experience that begins with a boat ride, Brahma Blue offers a remarkably different way to experience San Pedro.
