    Rooted at the Reef

    This is the real Caribbean, wild with beauty as it has been for centuries, the way pirates discovered it and Jacques Cousteau documented it; the way it should be.

    Zophora is a new resort community under development at Lighthouse Reef Atoll, Belize, intimately connected to the world's most stunning combination of ecological wonders: the mangrove caye and the coral reef. It is an experience of the senses and of the sea, for the thrill of escape and the reception of the wild. With ocean ecosystems in grave danger worldwide, Zophora gives you the opportunity to save the reef while relishing its splendor.

    The wild spirit of this island and the reef wall visible from shore invite you to explore, continually surprising you with wonders strange and familiar at the same time. Like the thousands of reef species whose origin is among these roots, you will glide effortlessly between land and sea, gaining a profound understanding of how your experiences above and below the water are interconnected.

    Zophora is your host: a gathering of open-air dwellings and wide boardwalks nested among mangrove roots just minutes from the some of the most awe-inspiring reef and wall dives in the world, and just 15 from the powerful diving experience that is the Great Blue Hole.
