House
Barefoot elegance. Plantation-colonial architecture, handcrafted mahogany furniture, local art on the walls. Quiet and away from the hubbub of San Pedro, but still accessible by golf cart in about 15-20 minutes.
Book Palmilla Restaurant for dinner in advance — non-guests can dine here and it's considered the best on the island
Why It Matters
One of Ambergris Caye's most established resorts, in operation since 1980. Repeatedly recognized by Condé Nast Traveler and Condé Nast Johansens (2026 Best for Romance award). Home to La Luna Spa — at 3,500 sq ft, the largest spa facility on the island. Listed on Tablet Hotels.
Victoria House is a 45-year-old plantation-style boutique resort sitting on 10 acres of beachfront two miles south of San Pedro town. Forty-two rooms spread across thatch-roof casitas, garden staterooms, suites with four-poster bamboo beds, and beachfront villas with private infinity pools. The pace is slow on purpose. People come here to do nothing — or to do everything, since the on-site dive shop will put you on a boat to the Great Blue Hole by dawn.
