Orchid Bay can provide a world-class kayaking experience. The calm waters of the bay connect to remote cays and rivers, as well as the Caribbean Sea, for your choice of a river or ocean adventure.

Orchid Bay is nestled in Chetumal Bay and sheltered from the large swells of the open ocean, keeping the waters generally calm and perfect for paddle boarding.

Whether you decide to wade into the calm Caribbean Sea or take a dip in the infinity pool, there’s no better way to cool off than a swim. Our beach is a gentle slope that makes the ocean accessible for all ages.

Belize is a bird-watcher’s paradise! Orchid Bay is perched on the edge of an ecosystem with a rich and diverse bird population, so there will be birds to spot almost anywhere you go on the property. You may see Scarlet Macaws, herons, and even Belize’s national bird, the Keel-billed Toucan.

Orchid Bay is nature’s playground—our conservation plans dictate that 40% of the land will be set aside as green space for guests to enjoy. Nature paths throughout Orchid Bay allow you to take a stroll through the lush jungle setting and explore the exotic environment of Belize without leaving the property.

Orchid Bay has over 200 species of orchid on the property and Belize’s climate allows certain orchids to bloom year-round, ensuring some should be flowering at the time of your stay. Take a walk around the property to admire the flora and see how many different kinds you can spot!

Sometimes all you want to do is stop and relax. Orchid Bay has plenty of spots for you to take a load off and enjoy your time in the Caribbean. Whether you’re floating in the serene ocean, sunbathing on the seven miles of coastline, or swinging in a hammock, Orchid Bay is the place where you will find the ultimate relaxation.

Have fun in the sun or let your competitive side shine with a game of volleyball on the beach!

Occasionally, you may be treated to a lightshow! On the walk between the condos and the cabanas, lightning bugs have been known to show off their bioluminescence creating a fantastic nighttime spectacle.
