Turtle Inn – A Francis Ford Coppola Hideaway

Where Balinese design meets Caribbean spirit

On Belize’s Placencia coast, Turtle Inn delivers barefoot luxury with Coppola’s signature charm—think seafront cottages, open-air showers, and seafood feasts by the sand.

Set along Belize’s pristine Placencia Peninsula, Turtle Inn is a seaside paradise that combines barefoot luxury with Coppola’s signature style. This beachfront retreat features Balinese-inspired cottages and villas, each offering ocean views and outdoor showers for the ultimate tropical escape.

The dining experience highlights fresh seafood and local ingredients, with standout dishes like the seafood risotto and grilled lobster. Coppola’s wines and Belizean rums elevate every meal, creating a perfect blend of flavors.

Snorkeling, diving, and kayaking await adventure seekers, with the Belize Barrier Reef just offshore. Guests can also relax at the beachfront spa or unwind in the tranquil infinity pool.

Insider Insight

For the ultimate escape, charter a day trip to Coral Caye, Coppola’s private island, just 25 minutes offshore. You’ll have it all to yourself—palm trees, hammocks, and fresh coconut cocktails included. Back at the Inn, head to the beachfront Mare Restaurant for the grilled lobster and finish the evening with a tasting of Coppola’s rare rum selections, poured tableside. Want more privacy? Book the Sofia Villa, a Balinese dream with a private pool and butler service.
