GLOVER'S ATOLL RESORT
Glover's Atoll is a World Heritage Site and Marine Reserve. Glovers Atoll Island Lodge is located on our privately owned 9 acre; 5 hectare Northeast Cay in the Glovers Marine Reserve, white sand, coral, & coconut trees, left in their natural state on top of the pristine reef.
GLOVER'S ATOLL was named after pirate brothers, John and Rodger Glover, in the1750's. Before pirates the Mayans sailed here, pieces of Mayan pottery have been found on the islands and beaches. In 1996 the Atoll was designated as Marine Reserve.
Thirty percent is zoned as a no take zone patrolled by Rangers from the Belize Fisheries Dept. The Rangers are stationed on Middle Caye, a research center owned by Wildlife Conservation Society. In 2000 Glover's Atoll was designated a WORLD HERTIAGE SITE under the UNESCO World Heritage Convention. This not only is an honor for Belizeans but it also makes us aware of how important our magnificent atoll really is.
Some photos by Madeleine Lomont & Light Hawk & Dan Clark At Glover's Atoll Resort you can enjoy excellent diving, snorkeling and swimming right from beach. Glover’s Atoll is Belize’s most remote atoll. It is 90 square miles (145 km), 700 patch reefs in the lagoon and is surrounded by 50 miles (80.5km) of sheer drop-offs, which start from 25 feet and drop straight down to 2,700 feet (900 m), 45 miles (72.45 km) from the mainland. Reef crests, islands, flats offer great catch and release spin or fly-fishing.
We offer complete privacy and solitude and what we really give you is access to an amazingly beautiful unspoiled group of islands and reefs, a place to sleep, cook (or order seafood meals in our restaurant) and a truly unique experience in traditional Belizean living and the adventure of a lifetime.
