Dining & Flavors

Yo Kha Belize Resort | Eco-Friendly Beach Resort Belize

Coastal cuisine crafted from reef-fresh seafood, tropical produce, and Belizean heritage—served steps from the sea.

From Reef & Rainforest to Your Table

Our kitchen celebrates Belize’s diverse flavors—Garifuna, Mestizo, Maya, and Creole—through bright ceviches, wood-grilled catch, slow-cooked stews, and seasonal tropical fruit. We source locally, reduce waste, and design menus that are light, vibrant, and ocean-friendly.
