4 Romantic Reasons To Visit Belize in 2022

romantic vacations in belize all inclusive

What do you and the love of your life require for a romantic encounter? Flowers and wine? Candlelight? How about grandma offering to babysit so the kids disappear for the night? If grandma’s available for more than one night, you may want to give her the opportunity to double down on her ability to spoil the kids rotten while the two of you head off to a romantic vacation.

Mindful of the family budget, this might at first seem no more than a fanciful dream – but if you target Belize as your destination, not only can you make a pilgrimage to the romance capital of Central America but you can save money by seeking a resort that specializes in romance on a budget. One of the best is Chabil Mar and we’re delighted to give you four romantic reasons to choose this property over all others.

romantic accommodations belize
1. Accommodations are breathtaking. Having private time in lavishly decorated digs contributes mightily to a romantic encounter and even the smallest suite is so fancifully decorated and appointed, leaving the nest can be difficult to do. From oceanfront views to the Luxury Seafront Villa Suite reserved for honeymooners, you don’t have to show a recent marriage license to reserve this hideaway.

2. Amenities and services are designed with intimacy in mind. Discreet staffers are trained in the art of respecting the privacy of guests and because this boutique resort is small, you don’t have to worry about noisy neighbors ruining your private time as you repair to either of the resort’s two infinity swimming pools for a dip, slip away for a private dinner on the pier or on your personal veranda.

3. Activity options are entirely up to you. At Chabil Mar, couples can indulge in myriad water sports, take tours to Mayan ruin or stroll nearby Placencia Village. For those who don’t want to make decisions, choosing a package is the ideal way to avoid making them! These bundles include accommodations, meals, onsite amenities like kayaks, paddle boards and bicycles and lots of extras. See which of these packages beckons – and while you’re on this resort website page, browse these Belize vacation specials, too.

4. Sea what’s in store for you. Couples rave about this tropical paradise with its ocean views, relaxing vibe and beauty. Some compare it to Eden, so if you and your soulmate are seeking a place to play Adam and Eve that’s just as discreet and gorgeous, Chabil Mar has no equal. If you don’t find Chabil Mar to be the most romantic getaway you’ve ever seen after you review the below lush video footage, you may not need a romantic escape after all!

Discover Scuba Diving in Belize

Every year, thousands of professional divers from around the world come to Belize to plum the biodiverse waters of the Caribbean. Belize is blessed to have more than 200 miles of offshore reef, part of the second-largest barrier reef system in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although coral reefs form just 1% of the ocean, they are home to a staggering 25% of all marine life, and Belize is home to a wide variety of fish, shark, ray, sea turtle, and dolphin species who use the reef as a nursery and feeding ground.

Some of the top dive spots in Belize include:

The Great Blue Hole

Sometimes known as the Belize Blue Hole, this natural phenomenon is a perfectly circular stretch of deep azure water measuring over 300 meters (984 feet) across and 108 meters (350 feet) deep.

Nestled on the inner side of Lighthouse Reef, the Great Blue Hole was known only to local fisherman until famed French marine biologist and documentarian Jacques Cousteau visited the area in 1971 and declared that the Great Blue Hole was one of his top 10 dive sits in the entire world.

Turneffe Atoll

Located approximately 32 kilometers (20 miles) offshore of Belize City, Turneffe Atoll is just one of three coral atolls in the Western Hemisphere. Using the coral and thick vegetation for cover, thousands of aquatic species spawn here, making it a natural feeding ground for predators. The shallow waters, bright white seafloor, and thick density of marine life make this one of the best places to enjoy a “color” dive in Belize.

Hol Chan Marine Reserve

Located just offshore from the tourist island of Ambergris Caye, the Hol Chan Marine Reserve contains a natural cut in the reef that many different species use to transit between the outer and inner portion of the reef. As a result of all this “traffic,” the area is a diver’s paradise where it is easy to find large schools of nurse sharks and rays on the hunt for prey.

Gladden Spit

One of the furthest points of the reef from the mainland of Belize, Gladden Spit is part of a larger marine reserve that also contains the three Silk Islands. The islands plus the spit itself contain a gentle underwater slope that gives divers a chance to explore every layer of the active biosphere that contains more than 25 different species of fish.

Chabil Mar has a complete set of scuba diving vacations that include expeditions to all of the locations listed above.

These 12 reasons make Belize the best vacation destination in the world and they are just the tip of the iceberg.

Reason #1: Belize is for the birds. You don’t have to be a birder to appreciate the total of 608 species (as of January 2020) that stopover in Belize while migrating. Become mesmerized while spotting Cuckoos, Woodpeckers, Parrots, Toucans, and Owls.

Reason #2: Belize national parks are amazing. Some are on land; others at sea. In concert, they are a majestic collection of national parks, forest reserves, marine reserves, natural monuments, wildlife sanctuaries, archaeological reserves, and private reserves.

Reason #3: Belize wildlife mix is — wild! Discover the mother lode of diversity within only 8,867 square miles. Belize is home to 145 species of mammals, 139 types of reptiles and you’ve already met some of the birds. Five big cats live within the nation’s boundaries, including the only Jaguar preserve on Earth, the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary.

Reason #4: Everything old is new again. Belize is home to 900 Maya ruins that rival Peru and Egypt in their grandeur and splendor. Included are caves once used for ceremonial rites plus above-ground cities. You may have to wade a river, repel into a cave or trek to reach them, but you won’t regret that effort for a minute!

Reason #5: Belize is a foodie mecca. Thanks to an exotic amalgam of cultures unique to Central America, Belize’s food and beverage borrows from Mexican, Maya, Caribbean, and other Latin traditions, but don’t expect dishes to taste like anything you’ve eaten before. Produce is local. Seafood is more local! Must-try delights include Marie Sharp’s hot sauce, cashew wine, and world-famous Belize chocolate.

Reason #6: Beautiful beaches. Belize never disappoints when it comes to beaches; especially those located on the Placencia peninsula where visitors can frolic on the Caribbean or the lagoon side. Belize’s golden and white-sand beaches are national treasures, beloved by divers and sunbathers alike.

Reason #7: Fabulous resorts. Belize’s aggressive health and safety programs in reaction to the pandemic are notable, so for properties like Chabil Mar Resort, earning Gold Standard status elevates this resort above others. Luxury digs, gourmet dining, packages, and safety measures have turned Chabil Mar into a Belize resort superstar.

Reason #8: The unique cultural vibe. Art, music, and natural wonders are everywhere visitors turn, from villages and towns to roadside artisans’ wares or gallery offerings. Paintings, textiles, furniture, sculptures, wood, slate carvings, and basketry showcase the nation’s distinct cultural mix. You won’t come home empty-handed.

Reason #9: Blessed proximity. There’s only one international airport in Belize and it is centrally located and in close proximity to the nation’s top resorts. Flights to Belize resumed on October 1, 2020. Major airlines stand ready to transport you to paradise in just a few hours.

Reason #10: Fall in love with Belizeans. You’ll never meet a mellower populace. In addition to speaking English, Belizeans are the most friendly, helpful people you will ever meet. You get the feeling that everyone you meet is really glad you came to their homeland.

Reason #11: Belize is a lover’s paradise. Snug bungalows, treehouses, adults-only islands, and other sexy spots make this nation an epicenter of passion and romance. Discreet resort hosts are savvy, welcoming, and discreet.

Reason #12: Belize is Central America’s adventure mecca. Dive into waterfall pools, zip line over jungle canopies, explore the Big Blue Hole and the Belize Barrier Reef. Set the tone for your vacation, customizing it to suit your interests and you’ll be convinced for yourself that Belize really is the best vacation destination on Earth!

How to Find the Best Flight Options to Belize

airlines that fly to belize

The Caribbean country of Belize is gaining a lot of attention to vacationers in the know — because while it offers lush vegetation and beautiful beaches all year long, it’s also surprisingly easy to get to. Travelers have plenty of options for direct flights into the country, and there are a number of options for getting where you need to go. Here’s everything you need to know before booking your flight.

When to Fly

No matter where you’re coming from, the availability of flights is going to depend on the time of year. Tourist season runs from November into April, and many airlines only offer flights during this period. You’ll find more direct flights from more cities during these months. On the contrary side, flying during the off season will typically allow you to get better deals on tickets, although you may have to work a little harder to find a flight that’s convenient to you.

Direct Flights From North America

All three North American countries offer direct flights into Belize, and chances are good that you can at least catch a connecting flight from any decently sized airport in North America. Here’s what you need to know about traveling in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

  • Alaska, United, American, and Delta airlines all provide direct flights in the United States throughout the entire year. Those who decide to travel during the peak season can also take advantage of flights from Southwest, Frontier, and Sun Country Airlines.
  • The only non-stop flights available out of Canada are offered by WestJet. Unfortunately, they only fly during the high season — so you’ll likely have to make a transfer in the U.S., Mexico, or Latin America from May to October.
  • Tropic Airline — an airline created explicitly for travel to and from Belize — provides direct flights from Cancun. They depart twice a day and are a sensible option if you need to schedule a connecting flight.

Flights From Europe

You won’t find any direct flights coming into Belize from Europe or the United Kingdom, but American Airlines offers a regular flight that leaves from Heathrow and stops at Miami. It’s the most convenient option that doesn’t require an overnight connection. Cancun is also a popular connection point.

Of course, once you land in Belize City, you’ll need to find somewhere to stay. Placencia Peninsula is regularly called “The Island You Can Walk To”, and it offers some of the most pristine beaches in the country. And if you want to make the most of your stay, book your trip at Chabil Mar. We’ll roll out the red carpet for you and your whole party.
