You likely realize that you need a vacation more now than at any time in the past. But despite travel restrictions being eased, you would not be the first person on Planet Earth to feel insecure about venturing out of your safe haven – despite the fact that you are desperate for a getaway.

Happily, there are measures you can take to stay safe and book a holiday, too, from flight time to physical distancing once you arrive. Flight to Belize International Airport from southern departure airports in the US are just a few hours – and then begin your Belize holiday destination.

Our nation’s hospitality industry has gone to extremes, putting into place protocols that follow guidelines set by the world’s leading health authorities, so accommodations throughout the nation are prioritizing the health and welfare of guests more than ever before. In fact, if you stay at Chabil Mar located on the Placencia peninsula, you’re going to feel safe and secure without sacrificing the 5 Star Service we are so well known for.

We’ll help you set your mind at ease because the features you find at this luxury resort are reassuring. You can finally take a deep breath and relax.

Because the all-Villa resort is small, you won’t run into crowds and every Villa has a private entrance via its personal veranda. The lush garden surroundings, 400 feet of private beach and pier along with two infinity beach-side swimming pools offer you peace of mind while onsite. There’s plenty of room to stretch out and maintain your privacy.

Part of the process of unwinding and feeling tranquil includes additional precautions taken by the resort’s cleaning protocols, along with gourmet al fresco dining. If you prefer, you can choose roaming butler service throughout the property and Villa service to your private veranda while viewing the beauty of the Caribbean.

If you decide to take tours, small tour parties and other safety precautions have now been mandated by the Tourism Department of the Government of Belize. Once peace of mind sets in, you can luxuriate in everything this area has to offer: lush rainforests, sandy beaches and the offshore islands off the coast of Placencia Village.

It is the 13-years of award-winning personal service that Chabil Mar is known for that guests enjoy while at the resort. As a full-service resort, every moment of your stay is tailored to suit your interests and lifestyle, always with an eye on your safety and comfort.

Would you prefer to stick around and confine your entire stay to the resort? Chabil Mar makes it fun. Complimentary bicycles, kayaks and paddleboards are at your disposal as are the two infinity beach-side swimming pools, and a private pier for dining and relaxing and they will deliver beverages to you wherever you choose to relax on the property.

Sound like the perfect way to celebrate being blessed with good health? The below video introduces you to the paradise that awaits your arrival:

In an ongoing effort to protect its natural resources, Belize has banned the importation of certain plastic products. Starting in April 2020, no company or traveler is permitted to bring these products into the country.

Growth Has Led to Problems

Belize’s population has grown in the past decade, and Belize hosted more than 1 million tourists last year. This growth has boosted Belize’s economy, but it has created a lot of pollution. Single-use plastics have been a major part of the problem.

According to a statement by the Belize Department of the Environment, “Pollution from single-use plastics has become a major problem globally and in Belize. Recent scientific studies have shown that plastics and microplastics have entered all levels of the food chain within our oceans. In Belize, this is affecting the natural environment, drainage and waterways.”

Banned Products

Many businesses in Belize have already switched to eco-friendly alternatives to plastic and Styrofoam. This ruling applies to all remaining businesses that have not yet made the change.

The banned products include:

• Single-use Styrofoam and plastic “clamshells.”
• Single-use Styrofoam and plastic plates, bowls, cups and lids.
• Single-use plastic forks, knives, spoons, sporks and cutlery.
• Single-use plastic carrier bags commonly referred to as shopping bags or T-shirt bags.
• Single-use plastic drinking straws.

A Wonderful Step for Belize’s Environment

At the Chabil Mar, we applaud this new law. Belize’s natural ecosystems are rare and precious. Our protected areas provide a safe haven to many endangered species. With rulings like this, we can continue to share the beauty of our country with the world.
