Luxury Holidays to Belize

Belize has some of the most breathtaking scenery in Central America. Its sun-drenched Caribbean coastline, lush rainforests, and dramatic peaks of the Maya Mountain range offer a unique experience.

A luxury holiday to Belize invites exploration, from the bustle of its historical capital, Belize City, to the evocative remnants of its Mayan legacy, while it remains at the forefront of ecotourism.

The Best of Belize

Much of Belize’s verdant sub-tropical forests cover the western Cayo Region, an area of the country with thriving wildlife, flora and fauna. Cayo – in western Belize – is home to Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary, a renowned sanctuary for baboons. There’s plenty of adventure to enjoy on a luxury tour of Cayo, from battling waterfalls in a canoe to hiking expeditions in the valleys of the Maya Mountains. At a private jungle lodge, you can spot parrots high up in the tree canopy.

At Caracol, a vast ruined city deep within Chiquibul Forest Reserve, Cayo has some of Belize’s most impressive Mayan archaeological sites. Explore ancient temples, excavated tombs and plunging natural caves, and traditional villages where Mayan culture is still preserved.

Off Belize’s western coast lies the largest barrier reef in the northern hemisphere. The reef shelters the cluster of tiny islands known as the Cayes. The islands enjoy a laid-back Caribbean vibe and a quiet, secluded feel. The beaches have picture-perfect golden sands and shallow, transparent waters bursting with vibrant coral reefs.

The Cayes are renowned for world-class diving and are home to spectacular marine wonders like the nearby Great Blue Hole, a unique sink in the heart of the Lighthouse Reef atoll. It forms part of the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, a UNESCO-protected ecosystem.
