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.

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!

Excellent wooden cabins on stilts.
Kitchen facilities, microwave, hob etc, in separate building.
Great Wi-Fi.
Friendly and helpful French owner Natalie as were the cleaning staff.
The cabins are located around 15 minutes walk from Sarteneja fishing village.
If you are arriving by local bus the bus driver will drop you off around 200 metres from the cabins on the main road, you can also catch the return bus at the same location.
Highly recommended.

Located in Placencia Village, a few steps from Seine Bight Beach, Villas at Playa de Coco provides accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden.
Guest review
We LOVED our 4 nights at playa de coco, all fantastic. We had a majesty suite which was HUGE and had a massive private terrace. The suite is one of 4 rooms that shares a private pool (and self catering facilities, including a washing machine which was useful). The view from the room and terrace were picture perfect. Beach was kept immaculate (raked each day), loungers under cabanas, had it pretty much to ourselves, and has a lovely deck into the water. Free kayaks and paddleboards. We went for a kayak and were joined by a pair of manatees swimming along with us; really magical.
All staff; managers; restaurant and housekeeping were fantastically friendly and helpful. We met the owner too, lovely and interesting guy.
Restaurant is on the roof terrace for more of the same great view …
Room was quiet and bed was very comfy. The suite had a dressing room, little bunk room, enormous shower / bathroom plus an outdoor shower area, (and coffee machine 😊) .
Running out of superlatives here .. 😂 the best bit is we’re going back next week!
