Belize may be a tiny country, but the punch it has on world tourism is well above its weight. The stunningly beautiful Caribbean country is full of dense green jungle and it is also where we find the second-largest coral reef in the world. Its location, the coral reefs, and the ever-warm waters create the perfect conditions for certain types of fishing. This key feature, along with the beautiful resorts in Belize, has been responsible for bringing in thousands of visitors each year to enjoy the fun of hooking a catch or two from its waters. Plenty of accommodations not only guarantee a comfortable stay, but also have easy access to incredible things to do in Belize. If you are planning a trip soon, scroll down below for the best fishing resorts in Belize.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and a location with easy access to fishing spots. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on October 27, 2024.
