Let your next virtual happy hour be on the beach in Belize. For those of us beginning and ending our days on Zoom calls, a background makes all the difference, keeping us uplifted and able to envision ourselves in our favorite places while at home.

A coral island in the Turneffe Atoll off the coast of Belize called Little Cay Bokel is home to Turneffe Island Resort. It welcomes guests year-round as a private-island getaway, with beautiful tropical waters as the playground for scuba diving, adventuring, fishing, and more.
