Women Adventure Travel to Belize

Have past girlfriend trips proven to be boring and expensive? Head for Belize where luxury and fun are just the beginning of your travel adventure.

They’re not really lost, but The Travel Channel’s “Lost Girls” blog reveals information most women already knew: Girl getaways are trendy!

It matters not whether your girls happen to be BFFs, female relatives, clubs or organizations; getting away with a bunch of women is the ultimate in fun and 2024 is expected to be a banner year for these getaways.

Where to go? That answer is trending, too: Belize. It’s the ideal place to visit with your posse because it’s affordable, navigable and, if you come to a resort like Chabil Mar, you and your pals can bask in luxury while someone else takes care of tidying up, cooking and serving meals and planning girlfriend tours.

What can you see and do if you bring the gang to Belize throughout the year? Sit down. Grab a coffee. This list is going to delight you:

-Engage with the Belize community by attending meet and greets and contribute to the Pack for a Purpose Giving that shows your group’s compassion for others.

-Have your host book Belize cuisine classes and field trips that include chocolate and spice tours plus arts and crafts activities–and don’t forget shopping for gifts to show everyone left behind that they’re not forgotten.

-Channel your inner mermaids by snorkeling, diving, fishing and sailing. If the girls want to see how it feels to have a private party on an island, Chabil Mar is happy to do the planning and get you to your happy place.

-Swim in pools beneath waterfalls, float along rivers, go tube caving and visit Belize’s famous wildlife sanctuaries where myriad species that range from manatees to jaguars are protected.

-If your group is composed of fearless souls, the resort is happy to get you to a Belize zip lining hub so you can see how it feels to glide over forest canopies.

-Once everyone has their fill of adventure, visit Maya ruins where ancient history and mystery merge to tell tales of ancient people, exotic rituals, strange beliefs, ceremonies and innovations. You don’t have to take in all 900 Belize Maya sites, but your girlfriend trip wouldn’t be complete without at least one.

Could Your Relationship Use a Boost? Rediscover Each Other in Placencia, Belize

 

If you have a closer relationship with your cell phone than you do with your partner, Belize is calling!

When was the last time you checked your cell phone? Five minutes ago? Can you wait an hour to see who pops up on your radar? It happens. Marriage counselors rarely mention electronics devices as reasons couples split up. But technology can destroy romance, says relationship coach Melinda Carver, who has seen her share of breakups as a result of too many disruptions that get in the way of intimacy.

Carver recommends a getaway to reconnect, and there’s no better place to do just that than in Belize, the escape capital of Central America. No matter the season, you’ll discover everything you need to get into the right mood quickly: warmth, sunlight, rainforests and pristine beaches. Paradise found!

A Villa awaits

The Most Romantic Place to Go in Belize This Summer

Placencia has it all when it comes to mending relationships and re-energizing them, but the resort you choose could make or break your romantic adventure. Happily, you couldn’t pick a hideaway that’s more inviting, romantic and intimate than Chabil Mar Villas. From the moment of your arrival, you’ll understand why Chabil Mar (“beautiful sea”) is exactly the destination you need to renew and revive your enthusiasm for each other.

This contemporary, full-service boutique beach resort is located along the Placencia oceanfront and villas are situated amid lush tropical gardens, so you get as much privacy as you need to reconnect. Interiors are magazine-worthy. Each villa is filled with original local art, hardwood floors and tropical touches. Every amenity a couple requires is provided, but it’s the views of the sea from your private balcony that will delight your senses most.

Can you spend the entirety of your stay in your luxury villa?

You wouldn’t be the first couple to do just that–but you’re situated on the Placencia peninsula where proximity to many of Belize’s natural treasures is too close to ignore. Snorkel or scuba dive off Laughing Bird Caye or the Silk Cayes. Tour rainforests, sail the Monkey River and visit the Cockscomb Wildlife Preserve where animals, waterfalls and jungle trails provide an intoxicating mix of beauty and fascination.

Return to your private world after any of your adventures and dine at the award-winning Restaurant by the Sea before you turn in for the night–or retire early so you don’t miss a single gorgeous sunset. What will your fondest memories be? The quiet hours with no distractions that are sure to remind you both of the time you fell in love.

Can you turn on your devices? That’s your call. But once you see how it easy it can be to enjoy quiet, uninterrupted hours together, you could realize that you don’t really have to keep checking your phone as often as you once believed!

Summer Dreams Really Do Come True in Belize

If you’re looking for the perfect place to enjoy an amazing summer vacation, look no further than Belize. A small, English-speaking country with amazingly beautiful beaches, islands, jungles, and waterfalls, Belize is just a two-hour flight from cities like Houston and Miami.

One of the biggest summer attractions in Belize is scuba diving with whale sharks. The largest fish in the world’s oceans, whale sharks can weigh up to 47,000 pounds (21 tonnes) and measure up to 41 feet (12 meters) long. Despite their immense size, whale sharks pose little danger to humans because their main source of food is tiny plankton that they strain out of the water.

Whale sharks are migratory animals, traversing the entire globe every year. As such, whale sharks are only in Belize for a limited time. Furthermore, whale sharks normally spend their time at great depths, only rising to the surface during key phases of the moon.

Other exciting things to enjoy in Belize during the summer include the Placencia Lobsterfest. Following the opening of the lobster fishing season in early July, the beachfront community of Placencia hosts a lively three-day festival dedicated to all things lobster. Chefs from all over the country compete to create innovative lobster dishes while hungry diners enjoy plenty of games, competitions, live music, and refreshing drinks.


Summer is truly a great time to visit Belize, especially if you love the beach. Water temperatures are in the low 80s (26-28° Celsius) while air temperatures are in the mid to high 80s (26-30° Celsius).

The best place to stay in Belize on your summer vacation is Chabil Mar Resort in Placencia. Located just steps from the beach, Chabil Mar has luxuriously appointed villas, a beautiful tropical garden, two freshwater swimming pools, and a gourmet restaurant.

Chabil Mar is a perennial TripAdvisor favorite and the winner of multiple tourism and hospitality awards. Whether you’re coming to Belize on your honeymoon, a family vacation, to get married, or as an adventure traveler, Chabil Mar has everything you need. Chabil Mar is also conveniently located close to all of the major attractions in Belize, including scuba diving sites, ancient Maya cities, and wildlife sanctuaries.

This summer, make your dreams come true at the Chabil Mar Resort in Placencia, Belize.
