Belize

Nestled on the coast between Mexico and Guatemala, discover the best of Central America’s youngest nation.

Experience the buzz of Belize City, the magic of the jungle-clad Tikal ruins or the beachside island paradise of Caye Caulker. As well as being the only country in the region with a British colonial heritage, Belize has Spanish-speaking neighbours to the south and west and the laid-back influences of the Caribbean to the east, which have combined to create an endearing cultural mélange. Whether you are drawn to reefs or the rainforests, you cannot help but become immersed in the country’s natural beauty. Sleep under a palm-thatched roof in a lush jungle lodge or escape to a dreamy overwater bungalow with turquoise sea views. Underwater caves and the chute of the Blue Hole offer some of the world’s best diving, while the Belize Barrier Reef is home to vibrant marine life and is perfect for keen snorkellers.
