The largest of the Cayes off the north coast of Belize, Ambergris is this country’s – if not Central America’s – most popular island destinations.

Its proximity to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef (the world’s second largest) and the warm Caribbean seas draw many people here for the truly excellent snorkelling, scuba diving and laid-back island life. Protected by the reef, the waters are calm and crystal clear making this a beautiful setting with an abundance of coral and sealife to explore.

The island has seen quite a bit of development in response to its popularity, but not to worry because we’ve selected the best and more exclusive properties below that will allow you to relax and enjoy the calm waters, silky sands and cool Caribbean vibe.

When to go

From mid-November to late April is the dry season and perfect for a beach holiday. May to June is still okay to travel, although towards July the rainy season is well underway.
