Your upcoming wedding is unique so why not make your honeymoon equally distinct? Reasons to choose Belize over other honeymoon destinations are so numerous, we don’t have room to list them all!

“Bride’s” magazine is the acknowledged Bible for Brides, so when Lane Nieset wrote about Belize morphing from a little-known nation into the perfect honeymoon destination, she described the beginning of what’s become a major travel trend.

Belize, she noted, offers “the perfect recipe for a romantic Central American getaway,” and honeymooners taking her advice agree. Why should you consider Belize for your post-wedding trip? Because no destination does it better.

1. Everyone speaks English. You’re already stressed so why add another burden to your list like learning a second language? Belizeans are warm, friendly and many are bi-lingual, so if your Spanish is rusty, grab some practice time.

2. The plane ride is blissfully short. Regularly scheduled, direct and bargain airfares are easy to find. Use your frequent flyer miles or book through aggregators. No fair looking smug when friends confide their Paris honeymoon travel nightmare!

3. Weather is heavenly. Even when it rains, showers are short and temperatures are delightful year-round, so get married any month you like; Belize will welcome you.

4. Get more bang for your buck. Whether you had a grand affair or your parents wrote the check, your new marriage gets off on a better foot if you don’t go into debt. The dollar goes twice as far in Belize. Conversion rate? $2 Belize to $1 U.S. It’s like winning a lottery.

5. For a tiny nation, sightseeing opportunities are everywhere you turn. Swim with sharks. Tour as many ancient Maya cities as time allows. Dive into the quirky Blue Hole, if only to say that you did it. And don’t forget a trip to the second longest barrier reef on Earth just off the Belize coastline.

6. Who needs a rental car? Resorts like Chabil Mar on the Placencia peninsula keep inventories of bikes, kayaks, Hobie cats and other crafts on hand for guests and since the peninsula is only 18-miles long, plenty of honeymooners jog, take water taxis and borrow bikes to get around.

7. Meet the natives. Spot the 500 species of fish swimming off the Belize coastline, 590 types of birds in Belize’s forested areas and some of the loudest primates you’ve ever heard: Howler Monkeys. Belize is home to the world’s only Jaguar reserve, too.

8. Your honeymoon photos will be breathtaking. Pose in front of dramatic waterfalls, take selfies while paddling around small atolls and don’t forget to memorialize yourselves enjoying the Placencia nightlife that has made this area so popular.

9. Explore the arts. Destinations like Placencia Village are goldmines of Belizean cuisine, art, music and the traditions of Caribbean, Mayan and Mexican descendents. Drink Belizean wines and beers and indulge your inner chocolate urge. Belize chocolates are divine and if you get enough diving, trekking and exploring, you won’t gain an ounce.

10. Save a bundle! Chabil Mar’s popular Belize honeymoon packages deliver an all exclusive experience for a single price. Included are luxurious accommodations, meals, local transport and hand-picked tours to fabulous sites.

Having survived a detail-filled wedding with endless “to-do” lists, what could be better than a honeymoon that required you to make decisions no more complicated than “What time should we eat dinner, Honey?” Sound like your kind of honeymoon? It’s okay to say “I do” one more time when you answer that question!

As the Belize tourism industry once again plans to welcome visitors, frustrated stay-at-homers are finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel and planning their first post-Corona vacation escapes. While doing their research, folks are coming across a bounty of travel articles recommending the Placencia peninsula as the only place to vacation in Belize these days.

It’s easy to see why. Beaches are world-class and face both the Caribbean Sea- and lagoon shores and this finger of land is home to one of the most popular resorts in the nation: Chabil Mar Villas.

Staff at Chabil Mar has already begun to receive requests from loyal guests asking about when they could come down for much-needed holidays, so when the Belize travel industry announced the re-opening of the nation for tourists beginning on August 15, 2020, the excitement was palpable.

Thinking things couldn’t get better, Chabil Mar management then received news that Chabil Mar had been named one of only 25 resorts in Central America to receive their seal of approval in the categories of best small hotels and best service. Can you hear the sound of celebrations?

Why Chabil Mar was a no-brainer pick for TripAdvisor

For folks who can’t wait to trade sequestration at home for the languid beaches, sunshine and relaxed ambience of this award-winning resort, it’s reassuring to learn that Chabil Mar has undertaken exceptional hygiene and cleanliness measures to assure guests of safety and wellbeing during their visits.

Further, as a boutique hotel known for prioritizing luxury, amenities and lush surroundings, guests enjoy onsite gourmet dining, seafront and sea view suites and villas and tours that run the gamut from relaxing to downright adventurous.

Close proximity to Placencia Village means guests are just a 15-minute stroll away from this enchanting hub, and upon return to Chabil Mar, complimentary kayaks, paddle boards and bikes deliver plenty of fun for every guest eager to try one or more, but it’s the all inclusive nature of this resort that truly meets the needs of visitors delighted to know that everything about their stay is covered by a single package price.

Who deserves a holiday more than you?

As if the opportunity to spend time at a Belize resort that’s a favorite of visitors and resources like TripAdvisor, Chabil Mar is offering exceptional Belize vacation specials that you can take advantage of just as soon as you are able to fit a holiday into your schedule. Saving money at an award-winning resort? It doesn’t get any better.

When you’re finally able to break the bonds of quarantine, pack up your vacation duds and head south for the ultimate R & R, why wouldn’t you want to choose a resort that goes so far above and beyond the ordinary that it wins awards? Safe. Elegant. Fun. There is no equal on the Placencia peninsula nor throughout Belize, say guests who couldn’t imagine themselves vacationing anywhere else!

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.

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!

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.
