For more than 50 years, El Pescador has welcomed anglers to the white sand shores of Ambergris Caye, helping to establish Belize as one of the world's premier saltwater fishing destinations. Set just north of San Pedro, the lodge enjoys immediate access to shallow Caribbean flats, the Belize Barrier Reef, and deep blue offshore waters, giving guests an extraordinary variety of fishing opportunities in a setting as beautiful as it is productive.

Ambergris Caye is one of only a few locations in the world where 12 months a year, anglers have a chance at the saltwater fly fishing “Grand Slam”: a bonefish, a tarpon and a permit in one day. Guests can sight-cast to “the big 3” at any of the sparkling flats found in this 400 square mile fishery, instructed by El Pescador’s English-speaking guides who all grew up on the island. El Pescador can also take you out to the reef to catch some tasty snapper or grouper, or head offshore for pelagic species like mahi, wahoo and yellowfin tuna. 

When you’re not fishing, you’ll enjoy the warmth of the beautiful resort with a newly renovated mahogany colonial lodge situated directly on the beach. Each room is surrounded by fragrant tropical gardens and swaying palms, just steps from resort pools and the Caribbean Sea. Guests can choose from well equipped Main Lodge rooms, or El Pescador’s private villas which are spacious two-story, 3BR, 3BA with direct beach access and private outdoor spaces. Each villa celebrates Belizean character with tropical hardwoods, bamboo, traditional wicker, coral stone floors, and locally inspired artwork.

El Pescador has a long-standing commitment to conservation and responsible tourism. The lodge works closely with local partners to protect marine ecosystems, support sustainable fishing practices, and prioritize local employment — ensuring that Belize’s natural and cultural heritage remains vibrant for future generations.

Of course there are many other things to do on Ambergris Caye, and El Pescador can be your gateway to the amazing diving and Mayan archaeological sites found nearby.
