Belize Holidays

Belize is a hidden gem in the heart of Central America! This small country is a perfect holiday destination for those who are looking for a mix of relaxation and adventure. With its stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and ancient Maya ruins, Belize has something for everyone.

There are plenty of things to do in Belize, whether you are a nature lover, an adventure seeker, or a history buff. Start your trip by exploring the ancient Maya ruins of Xunantunich, Lamanai or Caracol, which offer a glimpse into Belize's rich history and culture. You can also explore the vibrant underwater world by snorkelling or scuba diving in the Belize Barrier Reef, the second-largest reef system in the world.

For those who love nature, Belize offers an abundance of options. The country is home to over 500 species of birds, making it a birdwatcher's paradise. You can also explore the lush rainforests of Belize, hike through the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, or go cave tubing in the Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve.

If you are looking for a more relaxed holiday, Belize has plenty of beautiful beaches to choose from. The Placencia Peninsula is a must-visit for its miles of white sand beaches, clear waters, and charming fishing villages. You can also head to the islands of Caye Caulker or Ambergris Caye to experience the laid-back Caribbean lifestyle.

When it comes to accommodation, Belize has a range of options to suit every taste and budget. If you are looking for a luxurious stay, check out the Ka'ana Resort in San Ignacio or the Victoria House Resort on Ambergris Caye. For a more authentic experience, you can stay in a jungle lodge in the heart of the rainforest or a beachfront cabana on one of the many islands.

Belize is also known for its delicious cuisine, which is a mix of Creole, Maya, and Caribbean influences. Make sure to try the Belizean stew chicken, a spicy chicken dish served with rice and beans, and the fry jacks, a traditional breakfast pastry.

If you have more time to spare, why not consider twinning your Belize holiday with a trip to neighbouring Guatemala? From the ancient Maya ruins of Tikal to the stunning Lake Atitlan, Guatemala is a great complement to your Belize experience. Or the beautiful country of Costa Rica to see some amazing nature and wildlife!
