Belize Is Red Hot

What if I told you there’s a tourist and retirement destination you should put on your radar with lush beaches, pristine blue water, lush rainforests, vibrant culture, and diverse, friendly locals?

What’s the first place that comes to mind? Hawaii? What if I told you you could experience all of these things at a fraction of the cost? And what if I told you that you can get to this destination in as quick as 2–3 hours from some major U.S. airports?

Well, this place exists. It’s Belize, and it’s red hot and appearing on everyone’s radars.

Once flying under the radar of many tourists, Belize is now a must-see. In fact, the first international hotel chain didn’t open a resort in Belize until recently, in 2017, but since then, other chains and developers have been rushing to Belize like gangbusters.

Located in South Ambergris Caye, Mahogany Bay Resort and Beach Club (part of the Curio Collection by Hilton Hotels) was the first resort by an international chain to open doors in Belize with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on December 6, 2017.

Since 2017, hotels, all-inclusive resorts, and other vacation destinations have been opening like crazy in Belize and also collecting awards. Local operators are also garnering recognition.

Coco Plum Island Resort, Belizean Dreams Resort, Laru Beya Resort, and Manta Island Resort in Belize have all been nominated for the prestigious 2024 Condé Nast Travelers’ Readers’ Choice Awards for the second consecutive year. The four resorts are owned and managed by a local Belizean family who are committed to giving back to the community through various community sponsorships and programs, as well as being one of the largest employers in the area.
