Designed for multi-generational families & small groups

Just 20 minutes by boat from Belize City, Casa Al Mar is a six-bedroom island home on historic St. George’s Caye designed for groups of 8–14 guests who want to experience Belize together under one roof. Originally built in 1991 as a multi-generational family retreat, the home was thoughtfully designed to bring people together while still providing space to relax and unwind.

In 2020, the owners began welcoming guests to share in the experience. Today, the entire property is reserved for one group at a time—no shared facilities, no other guests, and no resort crowds. Instead, your stay includes a private chef, boat, captain, licensed guide, airport transfers, housekeeping, and personalized island adventures, all arranged for you.

Casa Al Mar remains family-owned and operated, supported by a dedicated Belizean team, many of whom have been with the property since it first opened to guests. Over the years, the home has evolved with thoughtful touches for families and groups, including a children’s sandbox, fish-cleaning station, outdoor showers, and a coconut husking table where guests can enjoy fresh coconut water straight from the tree.

Shared Spaces

  • Private Chef Preparing Lunch for th Group

    Open Kitchen and Dining Rooms

    The kitchen at Casa Al Mar is a working space for the private chef, where meals are thoughtfully prepared and finished throughout the day. Guests never have to cook or clean. Just beside it, the dining room centers around a large round family-style table designed for shared meals, conversation, and game nights, with additional tables added in an extended dining rooms when larger groups gather together.

  • Casa Al Mar Sunset Views

    East & West Private Docks

    The private east and west docks offer two completely different ways to enjoy island life. The east dock is perfect for swimming, relaxing in hammocks, sunning on the loungers, and enjoying snacks or fresh ceviche by the water, while the west dock provides easy access for kayaking through the mangroves. You can always catch the sunrise on the east and some of the most amazing sunsets off the west dock.

  • The Family Room

    The family room is a quieter corner of the house designed for slower moments throughout the day. Filled with books, board games, and card games, it’s a comfortable space for reading, relaxing indoors, or gathering together for family game nights after dinner.

  • Second-Floor Balcony

    The second-floor balcony is one of the home’s favorite gathering spaces, offering elevated views of the sea and Caribbean breezes throughout the day. It’s often where guests enjoy morning coffee, evening cocktails, casual planning sessions with the team, or simply relax together between activities.

  • The Bar

    Located in the center of the house within the extended dining area, the bar is a natural gathering place throughout the day. With a bartender included as part of the Casa Al Mar experience, this is where fresh cocktails, tropical drinks, morning coffee, and evening sundowners are prepared. Its central location makes it easy to grab a drink while relaxing on the front balcony or gathering for meals.

  • Front & Back Yard

    The spacious front and back yards are designed for both relaxation and family fun. Guests often set up volleyball or soccer games, enjoy private outdoor dinners, relax in the sandbox with younger children, or gather around to husk fresh coconuts for cold coconut water straight from the island. Outdoor showers throughout the property also make it easy to rinse off after a swim or enjoy an open-air shower surrounded by the tropical breeze.

Comfort notes for older guests, kids, and mixed-age groups.

  • Casa Al Mar is a three-story island home and all guest rooms are accessed by stairs. For older guests or families with younger children, the second floor is often the most convenient option since it is where most shared spaces, dining, and gathering areas are located, minimizing the need to go up and down throughout the day.

  • Because of the home’s multi-level design and stair access, Casa Al Mar is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible at this time. We are always happy to discuss the layout with guests in advance to help determine if the property is the right fit for their group.

  • The 1st and 3rd floor bedrooms feature private bathrooms, while the second floor bedrooms share connecting bathrooms. Many families with children and groups of friends appreciate the second-floor setup, as it allows everyone to stay close together.

  • Casa Al Mar welcomes families traveling with little ones. With advance notice, we can provide a crib, highchair, and baby bath to help make packing and travel easier. Younger guests especially love the sandbox, calm swimming areas at sandbars, and gated open outdoor spaces around the property.

  • Teens often enjoy the independence and variety of activities available at Casa Al Mar, from kayaking and snorkeling to fishing, swimming off the dock, and exploring the island with the group. The house layout also gives older kids and teens space to spread out while still staying connected with family and friends throughout the trip.

  • Many older guests appreciate the relaxed pace of island life at Casa Al Mar, with easy access to shaded outdoor seating, hammocks, calm boat rides, and comfortable gathering spaces throughout the property. The short transfer from Belize City and personalized pace of excursions also make the experience easier and more flexible than many larger resort-style vacations.

  • Casa Al Mar was designed and built to embrace Belize’s natural Caribbean environment and does not have air conditioning. Instead, the home relies on constant sea breezes, open-air design, ceiling fans, and shaded outdoor spaces to keep the atmosphere comfortable and relaxed throughout the day and evening.
