Beach Cabañas in Hopkins, Belize

The beach cabaña is the signature Hopkins stay: a standalone wooden or thatched cabin set on the sand, usually with its own porch and often a kitchen, rather than a room inside a larger building. It is the reason a lot of people choose Hopkins over a bigger Belize resort town, you get your own small place a few steps from the water for a fraction of what beachfront costs elsewhere in the Caribbean.

Hopkins Village has a real cluster of cabaña stays along its single sand road beside the sea. Kismet Inn, a beachfront guesthouse in the village, has both a beach cabaña with a porch and full kitchen and a garden cabaña, each running around $70 a night, alongside its rooms and suite. Other properties in and around the village offer beachfront and garden cabañas in a similar range.

Because a cabaña is self-contained, it suits couples and small groups who want privacy, a kitchen for simple meals and the sound of the sea at night. Most sit within walking or biking distance of the village center, the Garifuna drumming schools and the dive and snorkel shops that run trips to the Belize Barrier Reef and South Water Caye. Golf carts and bikes are the usual way to get around.
