A solar-powered 1-bedroom cabin for 2 on Caye Caulker’s peaceful southern end, with a rooftop terrace offering 360-degree reef, mangrove, and island views. Complimentary bikes make village exploring easy.
Costa Nube
Costa Nube is a modern, solar-powered island retreat on the peaceful southern end of Caye Caulker, just 15 minutes from the village. Enjoy contemporary comforts, well-equipped kitchens, air conditioning, complimentary bicycles, and a rooftop terrace with 360-degree views of the Belize Barrier Reef, bird sanctuary, and surrounding islands.
The rooftop is ideal for sunrise coffee, sunset views, and stargazing. This is a quieter side of Caye Caulker, where the loudest sound you may hear could be the reef.
Location: Caye Caulker, Belize
Caye Caulker is one of the Caribbean’s last authentically unhurried islands. Its unofficial motto, “Go Slow,” captures the atmosphere perfectly: no traffic, no stress, barefoot village life, world-class snorkeling on the Belize Barrier Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a welcoming community of travelers and locals.
The villa is surrounded by the island’s natural landscape while remaining within easy reach of the village’s restaurants, bars, tour operators, and the famous The Split swimming area. Wake up to birdsong and fall asleep beneath the glow of fireflies.
Nestled within a lush mangrove sanctuary, this one-of-a-kind eco-villa combines Caribbean adventure with relaxed island living. The property is thoughtfully designed to blend into its natural surroundings and spans three floors with open-air living spaces, murals by local artists, and hammocks across two levels.

- Comfortable memory foam beds with premium linens, extra pillows, and fresh beach towels

Complimentary Amenities

Nearby Activities
The Caribbean Sea is a short walk away. Guests can snorkel pristine reefs, fish from a dock, paddleboard through calm waters, or simply relax beside the ocean.
The main swimming areas are approximately a leisurely 20-minute bicycle ride away along one of the Caribbean’s most scenic coastal trails.
Off-Grid Living
- Air conditioning is available nightly from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m., depending on solar power and weather conditions
The property operates entirely on solar energy with battery backup and a generator. Rainwater is collected for the water supply, and guests are asked to use water and electricity thoughtfully as part of the shared effort to protect the surrounding natural environment.
Belize is a subtropical destination with warmth, humidity, occasional rain showers, and a thriving ecosystem of insects and wildlife throughout the year. This property is best suited to guests who appreciate being connected to nature rather than insulated from it.
Guest Access
The apartment is for private use.
All guests may also enjoy the shared areas:
- Large third-floor lounge designed for gathering
- Hammocks and comfortable sectional seating
- Views at eye level with the mangrove forest
- Rooftop area with beanbag chairs, loungers, hammocks, and yoga mats
- 360-degree views of Caye Caulker and the sea from the rooftop
- Excellent rooftop setting for stargazing
- Ground-level barbecue area and picnic tables
Because the property is close to the sea on both sides, the outdoor areas benefit from gentle breezes.
Additional Information
The property is powered by solar energy. During cloudy or rainy weather, it may occasionally be necessary to operate the generator.

Aldo’s place was exactly as described, it was our home from home during our travels. The facilities are amazing, there are lots of lovely areas to sit & chill out. I would add to comments regarding mosquitos, around sunrise & sunset they are at their most active & would recommend buying a local insect repellant as soon as you arrive on the island, the taxi that picks you up from the ferry port will be more than happy to stop off at the shop on the way to dropping you off to Costa Nube. We got very badly bitten on the first night using sprays that we bought from home, after we made the switch & timed our journeys we were fine. The busier part of town is about a 20 minute walk, we had lots of fun exploring the island on foot. Caye Caulker will always hold a special place in our hearts, it was one of our best holidays & we would definitely stay at Costa Nube again & recommend to others. Thank you for being such thoughtful hosts & letting us stay at your amazing place xx

Good hosts, apartment was nice and had lots of amenities. The bike rentals for free were amazing during our trip. The rooftop views were great. The mosquitoes at night on the island were harsh without bug spray but that has nothing to do with the Airbnb just something to be aware of when staying in Caye Caulker in July. The AC in the room was cool but did not fully cool down the whole apartment which was a minor mark on this place. Overall good place to stay. Just be aware you will be a bit away from the main part of town, which has both pros and cons.

What a cool place to stay. The communal rooftop is super cool. You will need to bike ride in order to reach the main part of the island, but they graciously provide you bikes which is super helpful. The only thing you must be weary of is the area where this bnb is located is mosquito CENTRAL. During the day you’ll be fine. But at night, expect to be eaten alive if you’re outside of the Airbnb. We would ride our bikes back around 9:30-10. And as soon as you slow down enough for the mosquitos to land on you they would swarm. Make sure you wear bug spray when approaching or leaving the Airbnb at night.

My husband and I loved our week at Costa Nube. Aldo has designed and built a beautiful property that makes you feel so welcomed and comfortable. We enjoyed our evenings on the upper level deck watching the sunset with a lovely island breeze. Costa Nube is a little south of town which makes for a quiet and peaceful stay. Aldo also provides bikes with rental and it is a short ride to town. If you aren't interested in riding bikes, rent a golf cart, you won't regret your stay at this beautiful property. We loved riding the bikes to town and all over the island, even to the far north end and back. The colors, the artwork, the deck areas, the furnishings combine to make a perfect place to experience Caye Caulker. Highly recommend you spend some time at Costa Nube and take in the island vibe.

We loved staying here! The bike rides to and from the place were one of my favorite things. We used their fishing poles. The line was old and kept breaking but we had fun nonetheless! We tried using the paddle boards but it was very windy that day so we ended up only being out for 5 minutes, and were too heavy to carry to a different beach. The views on the roof were so beautiful and relaxing. The room and outside the house were fantastic. We felt very safe and at home!

We had such a lovely stay! Aldo is awesome and we felt like we needed to stay another two or 3 days, just to use all of the fun activities that are included with the Airbnb. Like the kayaks and paddleboards. Hopefully we will be back one day! Location was absolutely perfect for us as we loved the peace and quiet, but keep in mind it is a walk/bide ride/golf cart ride into the main part of town.

If you’re scrolling through Airbnbs trying to stay budget-friendly and comparing options, just forget it and book Costa Nube. Even if it seems slightly more expensive at first, it is absolutely worth it. This place is unlike any Airbnb I’ve stayed in. The fourth floor has incredible views and even includes yoga equipment, while the third floor has a super relaxing, chill vibe with hammocks to unwind in. It’s located on a peaceful, quieter side of the island, which makes the whole experience feel even more special. Aldo, the host, truly goes above and beyond. He provides bikes, snorkeling gear, paddle boards, pretty much anything you could need. He’s also extremely responsive and will connect you with local contacts and give helpful tips for anything you want to do. One thing to know: everyone uses Whats App here, so there’s no need to stress about booking activities in advance. You can easily plan everything once you arrive. The island is small, friendly and feels like paradise. Enjoy!

Costa Nube was exactly what we were looking for. Off the beaten path but convenient to get everywhere. We took advantage of the complimentary bikes and rode our pair every day. Took them all over the island and up to Bliss Beach on the north island. Aldo and Colleen supplied headlamps which made it easy to get back even after dark, since there aren't lights south of the airport. The location was quiet all day, but especially peaceful in the evening. The rooftop patios were great places to read, write, nap, or just relax. The breeze up top was always welcome. Our suite was clean, well supplied, and comfortable. The bedroom had A/C and blackout curtains which made sleeping in easy after enjoying late nights out. The bed was very comfortable, and my wife is picky. Aldo was prompt and helpful when needing additional drinking water, coffee, sugar, etc and always had great recommendations on activities and restaurants. Wish we could have stayed longer! Would highly recommend.
