Private Island Resort & PADI 5-Star Gold Palm Dive Center for Sale – Long Caye, Glover’s Reef Atoll, Belize
This exceptional eco-friendly resort and dive center is situated on a 1.5-acre parcel at the heart of a privately owned island in Glover’s Reef Atoll, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Marine Reserve renowned for its world-class diving, snorkeling, and fishing opportunities.
Priced at $2.5 million USD, the property offers immediate operational readiness, with all necessary infrastructure, equipment, buildings, and permits in place. This turnkey opportunity eliminates the need for significant upfront development costs, enabling new owners to commence operations or personal use without delay.
Prime Location and Investment Potential Located in one of Belize’s most pristine and beautiful atolls, the resort benefits from unparalleled natural surroundings and substantial development upside. Opportunities include upgrading facilities to create a boutique hotel or enhancing amenities to maximize revenue potential.
