Destination Highlights
The island offers a wealth of curated experiences, from bonefishing on the shallow Caicos Banks to guided nature tours to see the native rock iguanas and diverse birdlife. Guests can enjoy non-motorized watersports at Monck Beach, explore miles of trails by golf cart, or take a boat trip to the nearby Hangover Tiki Bar.

All dining, beverages, and most activities are part of the resort experience. The staff-to-guest ratio is high, ensuring personalized and attentive service throughout your stay.
Aircraft Comfort and Options
Midsize turboprops like the Pilatus PC-12 or King Air 350 are the typical preferred aircraft for arrivals to Ambergris Cay due to their performance and flexibility. While the runway is physically long, resort operations favor these aircraft types. Certain light jets may also be approved on a case-by-case basis, subject to prior permission from airport management. That said, we recommend the Phenom 300E, which falls within the strip's requirements and offers a smoother ride on this mid-range route.

The winter and spring months offer ideal weather. From late January through March, the waters around the island are part of the annual humpback whale migration path, offering spectacular viewing opportunities.
