A luxury villa with private pool and a hidden waterfall — deep in the adventure capital of Belize.
Belize's beaches are world-class
The beaches of Ambergris Caye, Caye Caulker, Hopkins, and Placencia are among the most beautiful in the Caribbean — turquoise water, the world's second-largest barrier reef, and towns full of warmth. But in recent years an unpredictable and severe Sargassum seaweed problem has swept the entire region, from Mexico down through the Caribbean, and no one can say when or where it will land next.
Recent Sargassum landings on the coast — unpredictable, severe, and beyond anyone's control.
If, sadly, it arrives during your stay and spoils your beach days, don't cut your trip short. Retreat — literally — to the mountains. A clear pine-forest river, a hidden waterfall, natural swimming holes, and a private pool are a scenic drive away. Your vacation won't just be saved. It will be more than you ever expected.
