Located in Central America, Belize is a diverse country with the lowest population density in the area. This allows for distinct ecosystems and tons of biodiversity, from mountains and jungles to the Mesoamerican Reef and the largest cave system in all of Central America. The country is known for its immense animal and plant life, consistently comfortable climate, and, of course, the Blue Hole, which offers some of the most spectacular diving and sightseeing in the world.

Best of Belize

  • Wildlife reserves

    Because of the various forms of wildlife, Belize is full of reserves that help protect them. Some must-sees are the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, an underwater reserve, and the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, the world’s first and only jaguar preserve. While these are amazing sights to see, remember that we’re visitors and we ask that you treat each of these areas with care and respect. 

  • Elvi's Kitchen

    With floors made of sand, this indoor restaurant is a few blocks off the beach and boasts some of the island’s freshest seafood! The incredible service and fare make Elvi’s kitchen a local must-try. Plus, the frozen key lime pie and coconut pie is nothing short of mouth-watering. Be sure to get there early because these delectable desserts sell out fast!

  • Belize bars

    Beach bars are essential where ever you travel, and Belize has some of the best! Enjoy a carefree vibe, live music, awesome cocktails and an infinity pool at Rojo Beach Bar. Another absolute must in Belize is the Palapa Bar. A dive bar at its best, guests can float around in the ocean while sipping on a Caribbean concoction. On your way out of the country, stop by Jett’s Bar in the Belize airport. The bar is tiny so it’s not easy to find a seat, but a conversation with its legendary owner, Jett, is worth the wait. A true airport tradition, Jett’s has been around for over 45 years.
