If you're looking for an Island getaway that will rejuvenate your mind, body and soul, then look no further. Xanadu Island Resort lies hidden on an inviting palm lined beach, overlooking the Caribbean and the Barrier Reef. Just a short walk to San Pedro Town, Xanadu Island Resort is close enough to enjoy the restaurants and other amenities of town, yet far enough from the hustle and bustle to be quiet and relaxed.

The accommodations at Xanadu (a word which means “idyllic, beautiful place”) feature some of the most unique structures on the island. The resort's buildings literally are monolithic (“one-piece”) domes — fireproof, soundproof, steel-reinforced concrete structures. Inside, the domes' curves give each luxury condominium suite an architectural uniqueness that can't be found anywhere else. Outside, a thatched roof and wooden deck give each structure such an authentic, natural Belizean appearance that one can hardly believe that they are domes.

The resort features an exotic, freshwater swimming pool and complimentary bicycles and kayaks for guests to explore the island — or, they can enjoy bird watching in Xanadu's private nature reserve. Scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, fishing or guided eco-tours to the jungle or Mayan ruins can be arranged through their full service tour desk. Dive and tour boats will pick up and return guests at Xanadu's private pier.

Xanadu Island Resort has a state of the art back up generator system. In the event of power failure, this system will automatically switch over to provide power to the entire resort. This system is able to run a/c's and kitchen facilities. Additionally, Xanadu will be able to provide water (including hot water) to guests.

Accommodations
All 18 suites at Xanadu offer the following:
- fully equipped kitchens
- living/dining areas
- central air conditioned with ceiling fans
- cable television - telephones
- satellite Internet access
- alarm clock IPOD docking stations
- environmentally friendly liquid shampoo, conditioner & soap
- private safes for valuables
- hair dryers
- beach towels
- large shaded decks with pool, garden or ocean views
- daily maid service On-site laundry facilities are also available.

Activities The resort features an exotic, freshwater swimming pool. Walk the long pier featuring a cool palapa and swim platform at the end for relaxing and swimming where you can snorkel the man made reef. Or, swim in the exotic freshwater pool and relax in hammocks and chaise lounge chairs under the palms on the beach.

Scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, fishing or guided eco-tours to the rainforest jungle or Mayan ruins can be arranged through the full service tour desk. The dive and tour boats collect and return guests to the private pier. You will be given a voucher to give to the tour operator and add the price of the tour to your invoice. You simply pay for everything upon check out!

Complimentary bicycles and kayaks are also offered to guests to explore the island. Enjoy bird watching in the private nature reserve.

About Ambergris Caye and Belize The coral reef, just offshore Ambergris Caye, Belize is home to 250 species of fish and colorful coral, with incomparable diving, snorkeling and fishing. Belize is one of the leading eco-tourism destinations with vast areas of untouched rain forest containing a great variety of animal habitats - a haven for bird watchers. More than 900 Mayan ruins are scattered around the country. With a population of only 250,000, Belize remains relaxed, intimate and cosmopolitan. San Pedro Town is located near the southern end of Ambergris Caye and has a variety of restaurants, dive and gift shops and all the amenities one requires. The island is serviced by a 15 minute flight or a 75 minute boat ride from Belize City.

Let us match you to your best adventure.
