Sandwiched between the Central American jungles and the Caribbean coast, Belize is a country packed with history, culture and adventure. Most visitors head straight for Belize City, the nation’s capital and gateway to the many low-lying islands that form the Belize Barrier Reef. This reef is the second largest in the world, with over 100 types of coral and five times as many species of fish for snorkellers and scuba divers to feast their eyes upon. Join a snorkelling tour for the afternoon, or brave the biggest – and deepest – attraction of all and go diving in the Blue Hole, a giant underwater sinkhole home to an abundance of marine life. You may want to experience the famous nightlife of Caye Caulker before you leave, but don’t miss your chance to explore the lush forests found inland. An afternoon’s trekking could lead to face-to-face encounters with spider monkeys, wild cats, green iguanas and the bright keel-billed toucan, Belize’s national bird. Venture deeper into the national parks to find some of the oldest Mayan ruins in the Americas. Head into the central, forest-thick Cayo District where you’ll find crumbling temples like Xunantunich, along with eerie burial sites like Actun Tunuchil Muknal. Accommodation options range from luxury hotels on the most developed islands like San Pedro, to budget-friendly hostels and guesthouses found across the country.

Guest review
We had a wonderful time staying in Tropical Magnolia with our friends. We booked two cabanas last weekend. The place is beautiful and has a calming energy flowing all over with mature fruit trees and ornamental plants everywhere you look. The peacocks and the lotus ponds give this place a unique and pleasant vibe that you don’t otherwise experience. The cabanas are sustainably built by the local Maya artisans and have all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The owners are exceptionally welcoming and take personal attention to make their guests feel at home. We will definitely be visiting this place again!

Set in Maya Beach, a few steps from Maya Beach, Kalimera Beach Hotel offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a private beach area and a terrace.
Guest review
Absolutely the best boutique hotel we stayed at in Belize!
Everything at Kalimera Beach is so thoughtfully designed — from the moment we arrived, we felt more like family than guests. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and their attention to detail makes the stay unforgettable.
You get ice for your drinks or to make a refreshing iced coffee (which became our daily ritual). There’s a water tap in front of each room to rinse the sand off your feet before going inside — a small but brilliant touch. The rooms and common areas were spotless, and you can tell a lot of love and care goes into everything here.
There are hammocks, a beach gym, paddleboards, kayaks, and games — it’s literally impossible to get bored. The absolute highlight? Sipping an iced coffee while relaxing in a hammock right by the beach, watching the waves roll in. Sometimes you even get a fresh coconut!
They also organized an incredible tour for us to Laughing Bird Caye — it was breathtaking, and we even saw a shark!
We truly loved every second of our stay. Kalimera Beach is a place you arrive as a guest and leave feeling like part of the family. Can’t recommend it enough!
