Blue Horizon Lodge
Location
Blue Horizon Lodge is a fly fishing lodge located just 20 minutes from the coast of Placencia, Belize. It is common to see tailing permit in front of the lodge on the “home flat.” With numerous famous permit flats within a 10 minute boat ride, the action begins shortly after you step foot on the boat.
Because of the location of the lodge, our guides are the first boats on the flats each day. Other guides who bring anglers from the mainland, often arrive hours after you will have started your day of fishing. It is quite common for our guests to have already landed a permit before the first boats from the mainland arrive on the flats.
Amenities & Facilities
The intimate Blue Horizon Lodge is ideal for all vacationing anglers. Blue Horizon Lodge officially re-opened in 2020. The new lodge features many of the original buildings with a fresh redesign that incorporates the modern comforts this generation of traveling anglers has come enjoy and expect. The goal of the redesign was to create an atmosphere that honors the heritage of Lincoln Westby’s original lodge, while rejuvenating it with contemporary luxury elements.
The island has wireless internet access covering the majority of the property. Your room and the main lodge are 100% covered. Cellular service is limited, but available to most US carriers.
Rooms
The five guests cabanas, for a maximum capacity for 10 anglers, have been completely refurbished and deliver a surprising level of sophistication for such a remote location. Each room is furnished with two full size beds and a private bathroom, complete with on demand hot water showers. Air conditioning is standard in all of the rooms, giving our guests the option of enjoying the ocean breeze or a controlled climate. Rod racks, shelving, and hangers will help you organize your gear during your stay.
Two of the five guest rooms are stand-alone units, and offer the most privacy. The other three units are contained under one roof, in the new from the ground up, triplex. This unit is perfect for parties of six. The large shared deck makes a convenient gathering space for relaxing and sharing the day’s stories. But don’t worry, we’ve insulated the walls so you won’t hear the neighbor snoring in the night (unless you’re sharing the room… pick your bunk mates wisely).
