Start PlanningSultry Caribbean island life and barrier reefs
The largest of the Cayes off the north coast of Belize, Ambergris is this country’s – if not Central America’s – most popular island destination.
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 sea life 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 most exclusive properties below that will allow you to relax and enjoy the calm waters, silky sands and cool Caribbean vibe.

Cayo District
Belize’s Cayo District sits along the border with Guatemala. Winding rivers, spectacular waterfalls and ancient Mayan ruins make up the varied landscapes of the region. This is the ultimate haven for adventurous travellers and historical buffs looking for unique experiences.
Mountain Pine Ridge
Home to some of Belize’s most magnificent waterfalls, Mountain Pine Ridge is a protected area of Caribbean Pine forest. The region is replete with different species of birds and other animals. Explore the area on a trekking excursion or if you are feeling adventurous, there are plenty of opportunities to set off on mountain-biking expeditions.
Orange Walk
With a combination of dense jungles, ancient Maya ruins and a cocktail of cultures, this multifaceted region of Belize promises a wide variety of experiences. Outdoor expeditions such as rainforest walks bring you close to some of the region’s most unique species. Orange Walk is also arguably one of the best places to visit in Belize for cultural immersion.
Placencia
Placencia is a charming sleepy fishing village on the Caribbean coast of Belize. The region makes for one of the best places to enjoy palm-fringed beaches and water activities such as deep sea fishing, kayaking and diving.
Punta Gorda
Punta Gorda, in the southernmost part of Belize might often be forgotten by travellers but perhaps that’s what makes it even more special. This laidback region offers the perfect mix of reef and rainforest, with emerald jungle covering the rolling Maya Mountains and pristine rivers running into the clear warm waters of the Caribbean.
