An intimate property on a privately owned island, Plantation Beach Resort is the only scuba diving operation allowed in the Cayos Cochinos Biological Reserve. Built of local stone and mahogany on over ten acres of former pineapple plantation, and next a virgin tropical forest, this ten-room resort appeals to nature lovers as well as seasoned divers.
At Plantation Beach Resort, enjoy the turquoise waters, sandy cayes, swaying palms and tropical gardens. Since all commercial fishing was banned in this area in 1993, turtles, dolphins and other marine life have made a big comeback.
The reefs of Cayos Cochinos are among the most varied and offer spectacular scuba diving in the blue Caribbean. Snorkel the beautiful coral gardens, paddle across the bay on a kayak, go island hopping, hike through the tropical rain forest to a Garifuna fishing village, or to the island`s lighthouse for a spectacular view of the neighboring islands or take it easy and nap in a hammock. The neighboring islets are perfect for beach combing and private romantic picnics.
