Private Island Penthouse at Brahma Blue, San Pedro

A top-floor penthouse on the private island of Brahma Blue, with wide terraces and lagoon views across Ambergris Caye. Three bedrooms and three full bathrooms sleep six, with a shared pool, a dock and a free boat shuttle to San Pedro town just across the water.

Set on the third and top floor at Brahma Blue, this penthouse opens onto wide terraces with views over the lagoon and the mangroves beyond. Large windows and sliding doors keep every room bright, and the breeze off the water moves through the whole home.

The living room has a sofa, a television with streaming and doors straight onto the terrace. A laptop-friendly workspace is there for days when work comes along.

The kitchen has an oven, stove, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher and microwave, plus a coffee maker, blender, toaster, electric kettle and cookware. The dining table sits by the windows, so meals come with a view of the water.

The three bedrooms sleep six. Two have King beds and one has a Queen bed, all with room-darkening shades for slow mornings. There are three full bathrooms, with towels, linens and toiletries provided. Air conditioning and ceiling fans keep the home cool, and laundry facilities make longer stays easy.

The terraces are where the days begin and end: morning coffee as the light comes up over the lagoon, and a quiet drink as the sun goes down. A barbecue grill is on hand for easy dinners outdoors.

Below, the island's private beach, pool, palapas and lounge areas are made for slow afternoons, and the dock is a good spot to cast a line.

Board games, an electronic dartboard and an arcade system make for easy nights in. It is a calm place to come back to after a day on the water.

The penthouse is on the third floor and there is no elevator, so guests should be comfortable with stairs.

The boat shuttle runs every two hours, starting at 7:00 AM, with the last trip at 11:45 PM. Plan arrival times and evenings in town around the schedule.
