Welcome to Pirates’ Hideout

Pirates’ Hideout is a secluded, locally owned small resort where you can come and escape the pressure and chaos of life without concern of being tracked down. It is perfect for businessmen, politicians, fishermen, Maya archaeology enthusiasts, rainforest nature trail lovers, and the everyday adventurer with a limited budget.

The natural setting was once used by pirates who could come in to the shallow waters of the Corozal Bay and escape from the larger Spanish vessels which could only navigate in the high seas. They were also safe during storms. The archaeological site of Cerros is located across the bay.

Whatever you decide to do with your time at Pirates’ Hideout, you have access to the lovely bay, and at night, the moon and the stars. You can choose to relax inside or have lunch outside on the picnic tables. There are several cabañas that are designed for your comfort and pleasure.

On the property at the Pirate’s Hideout are many interesting plants and trees. There is a young Teak tree (Teconia grandis), whose wood is used in funiture. A Variegated Agave has been adapted to live uniquely on a tree! There are several croton plants, which come in a variety of shapes and colors. There is also Calabash Tree (Cresentia cujetel), the fruit of which the Mayas used for making utensils.

Belize is rich in flora, and orchids are crown jewels in this environmental treasure-house. There are hundreds in the orchid genus, and thousands of species.
