Easter in San Pedro | Celebrate Belizean-Style with Brahma Blue Resort

Easter in Belize is more than a holiday — it’s a vibrant cultural experience filled with tradition, family time, and coastal celebration. And there’s no better place to immerse yourself in it than San Pedro, Ambergris Caye.

At Brahma Blue Resort, you’ll find the perfect combination of peaceful seclusion and quick access to all the fun. Just a short boat ride from town, our private island getaway puts you close to everything you want to experience — and far from the noise when you want to relax. Here’s how to spend your Easter in Belize like a local, with everything from beach vibes to cultural traditions and activities we can plan for you.

Good Friday: Quiet Reflections & Simple Pleasures

Good Friday in Belize is deeply respected as a day of reflection. Most locals avoid meat, stay off the beaches, and unplug for the day to honor the significance of the occasion. San Pedro adopts a calmer pace — ideal for travelers seeking tranquility.

What to do:

Begin your day with yoga or meditation by the water
Visit a local church or take a quiet stroll in town (we can organize the boat transfer)
Try a traditional Good Friday meal — Elvi’s Kitchen and Caramba Seafood Restaurant are just 5 minutes from our boat terminal and offer excellent fish-based dishes in line with tradition

Whether you want to observe the day spiritually or simply relax in peace, this is a perfect opportunity to connect with the soul of Belize.

Holy Saturday: Let the Island Come Alive

By Saturday, the town shifts into celebration mode. From beach parties to local food stands and live music, San Pedro becomes one of the liveliest places to be during Easter.

Let us arrange for you:

A golf cart rental so you can explore the best of downtown festivities
A private boat charter to Secret Beach for a fun day in the sun
Dinner reservations at island favorites like Maxie’s Restaurant & Nightclub, a great spot for dinner that turns into an energetic night scene as the sun goes down

And for sports lovers — catch the legendary Cross Country Cycling Classic live from your suite or streamed at one of the local bars.

Easter Sunday: Sun, Sea & Celebration

Easter Sunday is all about enjoying the beach and quality time with loved ones. Belizeans head out early with food, music, and high spirits — and in San Pedro, the coastline becomes a hub of happiness.

We’ll help you celebrate with:

A snorkeling tour to Hol Chan & Shark Ray Alley — a must-do!
Beach setup at Secret Beach, with coolers, paddleboards, and plenty of sun
A sunset cruise to end the day on the water, drink in hand
A casual lunch or dinner at Caramba or Elvi’s, both well-known for their local flair and laid-back charm

If you’re traveling with family, we can help coordinate Easter-themed games or activities back at the resort too.

Easter Monday: Wind Down the Right Way

Easter Monday is the unofficial chill day for Belizeans — a time to relax, swim, and enjoy the last of the long weekend. After the excitement, this is your day to truly unwind.

Make the most of it with:

A half-day reef fishing tour (we’ll point you to restaurants that will cook your catch!)
A paddleboarding or kayaking session around the calm lagoon
A leisurely lunch in town at Elvi’s Kitchen or Maxie’s, both within walking distance of our dock
Or simply relax in a hammock, cocktail in hand, enjoying your final hours in paradise

Bonus Tradition: Try a Hot Cross Bun

One of Belize’s tastiest Easter traditions is the Hot Cross Bun — a sweet spiced bread marked with a cross and typically enjoyed on Good Friday. Ask us where to grab the best ones in town or let us help you find a bakery nearby before they sell out!
