Portofino Resort

Located North of San Pedro, Portofino sits on the most beautiful beaches of the island. If you are looking for something different, something select, exclusive, and a notch above the rest, then welcome to Portofino, an exceptional beach resort in Belize. 

Resort

Although you come to a very peaceful and quiet resort, town, shops and the nightlife are just 15 minutes away by boat. Many of the best restaurants (including Portofino's Le Bistro) are located north of San Pedro.   Access to Portofino is by boat only, and therefore we offer a complimentary meet and greet service at San Pedro Airstrip and boat transfer to the resort, an approximately 15 minutes ride. Portofino is proud to offer the very best service on the island with no expense spared to ensure our guests have a relaxing and memorable vacation.

At our Restaurant, Le Bistro, we combine European specialties, ranging from Italian to Mediterranean, highlighted by what French Chefs call Nouvelle Cuisine. Reception in the main building is manned by professional and knowledgeable staff who is available for any request. Our staff can advise you competently on all tours and detailed written descriptions are also available.  Our landscaping is tended to by our full time gardeners and cuttings of flowers and plants are taken daily and placed in the rooms, to ensure constant fresh flowers to all our guests.
