For a change of pace, escape to one of Belize’s idyllic cayes, where relaxation and rejuvenation await. Lounge on pristine beaches, swim in crystal-clear waters and explore the mangrove forests by kayak.

What’s Your Honeymoon Style? At Chabil Mar Beach Resort, Have it Your Way!

Posted on July 7, 2024

Brides magazine editors are experts when it comes to honeymooning but when Liz Susong published an article about the history of this post-wedding getaway, her revelations were far from romantic! This tradition harkens back to the 1500s when it was a Scandinavian practice for the groom to sweep up the bride, and take her to a “secret location, safe from discovery by her angry kin.”

During this hiatus, the couple were urged to drink mead (fermented honey) for the first month of marriage, a practice thought to help launch baby making. Over time, things got less frightening and more romantic, but contemporary society tends to reinvent just about everything, and honeymoons are no exception.

First, babymooning became trendy. Now, the buddymoon is a trend for couples who want friends to come along, say contributors writing for The Independent! Will creative honeymooning ideas keep evolving? Probably. But no matter what spin you put on your post-wedding escape, heading for Belize will enhance your bliss—especially if you choose Chabil Mar as your official love nest!

Chabil Mar: Where newlyweds thrive

Most Belize resorts offer a honeymoon package choice that covers all details of a sojourn, but Chabil Mar staffers know that couples are unique, so you’ll be offered four options. Don’t be surprised if, upon reading the details of each one, you can’t decide.

Pick one and everything is covered, so no worries about having to make decisions about lodgings, meals, and onsite amenities. At Chabil Mar, you’ll be offered two beach-side infinity swimming pools, complimentary kayaks, paddle boards, and bicycles. Why bikes? Because the Placencia Peninsula is only 16 miles long and around 1 mile wide, so whether you prefer to hang out on the Caribbean side or the idea of spotting manatees on the lagoon side sounds idyllic, you can do both.

But leaving the resort can be hard to do because romantic extras are the specialty of the house. From welcoming beverages, robes, fresh flowers, and coffee to the roaming butler service that makes newlyweds feel like celebrities, couples really appreciate the complimentary shuttles into Placencia Village for fun outings.

Wedding gifts keep coming at Chabil Mar

Could you use some inspiration as you make decisions about your honeymoon? If you’re following that buddymooning trend, there’s a group travel special that’s available between May 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024, which as you know, is prime wedding season. You can bring from 10 to 40 pals, and for every four villas you book, get a fifth one at no charge, so you won’t want to ignore this deal.

See what awaits you two (with or without friends). Chances are, you’ll have an easy time convincing them to come along if you share this video, but however you two decide to honeymoon, Chabil Mar has you covered. Visit the property’s contact page immediately if you’re ready to book, especially if you’ve a May or June wedding on your mind!

Discover Maya King Waterfalls in Southern Belize

Swimming in a waterfall is the ultimate jungle adventure. In Belize, you can enjoy this experience at the Maya King waterfalls. These waterfalls are located in a privately-owned park and are about a 45-minute drive from Chabil Mar.

Belize has the tallest waterfalls in Central America and the Maya King Waterfalls are just one example of these magnificent cascades of pure, untouched water.

The Maya King waterfalls are a hidden gem that will take your breath away with its spectacular surroundings. The waterfalls end in a large, natural pool filled with cold mountain water. You can swim, stand under the rushing waters or simply sit on the natural rock sides and enjoy the scenery.

This is an easy, relaxing tour that’s fun for both locals and travelers alike. There is no hiking or climbing involved. You simply take transportation directly to the waterfall.

The Meaningful Belize Vacation: Don’t Just Visit; Immerse Yourself!

Posted on July 5, 2024

You’re not imagining things if the word “immersion” peppers conversations these days. It’s become the ultimate experience, a lesson not ignored by the travel industry eager to allow every traveler an opportunity to experience destinations like locals.

Immersive journeys go beyond the ordinary because tourists do more than visit; they come with the purposeful intent to absorb the culture. Folks eager to immerse themselves in Belize, say that these eight experiences do the job best!

1. Placencia Beaches. Considered the Riviera of Central America, Placencia beaches receive more ink than other Belize shorelines because beach fans can frequent the Caribbean and/or lagoon side.

2. The Belize Barrier Reef. While also affording fans of scuba diving opportunities to see a magical world below the surface, the reef is experiencing cutting-edge ecological restoration measures to keep this precious landmark vital for many generations to come.

3. Belize Nature Parks. There is a total of 17 throughout Belize, but if you can only immerse yourself in one, make it the Cockscomb Basin Forest Reserve where the world’s only jaguar reserve exists.

4. Belize wildlife. How to immerse yourself if time is at a premium? A Monkey River tour treats visitors to birds, ocelots, giant iguanas, tapirs, deer, crocodiles, bats, and perhaps manatees. Black howler monkeys are the stars of the show.

5. Belize Cayes. Belize Cayes are perfect places for visitors more interested in wildlife than nightlife. Add Laughingbird and the Silk Cayes to your itinerary if you love tranquility.

6. Belize’s history. Once home to brilliant Maya societies, visitors still stand in awe of the 900 ruins, caves, and excavations within the nation’s borders. ATM Cave, Nim Li Punit, and Xunantunich are not to be missed.

7. Belize culture. You would be hard-pressed to find a nation this small offering so much diversity. If people of the world intrigue you, get to know some of the 417,009 people you’ll meet whose heritages include Mestizo, Creole, Maya, East Indian, and especially Garifuna.

8. Belize food. As a direct result of the amalgam of people who have called Belize home for centuries, Belize puts a new face on the concept of fusion cookery. Belize’s wine and beer industries are becoming world-renowned.

How to immerse yourself in every one of these during your 2024 Belize vacation? Sojourn at Chabil Mar Resort on Placencia where Belize vacation packages and specials remove the work of planning so you have time to focus on tours that not only cover all eight of these recommendations but go above and beyond them.

Chabil Mar management partners with the highest quality independent guides, so your experiences will extend beyond the ordinary. Said one wise fan of immersive travel so eloquently, “When we aren’t afraid to immerse ourselves in a new place, we discover things that few other people will.” If you’d like to count yourself among these fortunate travelers, why settle for an ordinary vacation when the memories you make during an immersive visit are so much more powerful?
