Moving beyond the former Stake Bank project, Olo Caye is actively moving from vision to reality. Currently under construction, this transformative infrastructure and luxury destination will redefine the Caribbean’s cruise and hospitality landscape by connecting global travel with Belize’s culture, people and economy.
The project is led by Piero Dibattista, an international developer with a 30 year record of success in Roatan, East Africa and Belize and represents a pivotal shift for Belizean tourism.
