On September 12, 2017, TravelPulse.com posted its list of the trendiest travel destinations to visit this autumn. One of the top destinations listed in the article was Belize, describing it as the country with the “world’s best dive sites.”

Belize was also favorably mentioned thanks to a growing interest in Maya culture. As the former heartland of the vast Maya civilization that stretched from El Salvador to Mexico, Belize is home to more ancient Maya sites than any other country in Central America, including Xunantunich where the world’s largest Maya royal tomb was discovered in 2016 and Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) Cave, rated by the Discovery Channel as the world’s number one sacred cave, a vast underground labyrinth once used by Maya priests to sacrifice human beings.

Just a few decades ago, Belize was largely unknown to the outside world due to its remote location and limited access. Now, all four of the biggest airlines in the United States – Southwest, Delta, America, and United – offer non-stop flights to Belize. Canadians, too, are increasingly visiting Belize thanks to non-stop flights from Toronto and Calgary, making Belize attainable in just 2-5 hours’ flying time from major cities across North America.

Located in Central America just south of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, Belize is the only country in the region where English is the official language. This former British colony has a strong Caribbean vibe thanks to hundreds of miles of coastline as well as picturesque tropical islands along the Belize Barrier Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to the amazing dive sites mentioned in the TravelPulse.com article.

“As the weather begins to turn chilly in North America, we welcome all travelers to come visit Belize where it’s always warm and sunny,” said Larry France, marketing manager at Chabil Mar. “With beautiful offshore islands and a pristine mainland teeming with wildlife, there is truly something for everyone to do and see here in Belize.”

Chabil Mar is an award-winning luxury resort located on the golden shores of the Placencia Peninsula in southeastern Belize. With elegantly appointed villas, a lush tropical garden, onsite gourmet restaurant, and fully stocked bar, Chabil Mar is the perfect place to stay for trendy visitors wanting to experience the best that Belize has to offer.

On August 29, 2017, Elite Daily, an online publication published a list of 10 outrageously gorgeous destination wedding locations that included Belize. Billed as “the voice of Generation Y,” Elite Daily chose Belize for their article thanks to the number of exciting activities for newlyweds to enjoy as well as the gorgeous natural scenery that make for unforgettable photographs.

Once a remote country difficult to reach, Belize is now within reach of major cities across North America thanks to six of the largest airlines now offering non-stop flights to the Caribbean nation. Just 2-5 hours’ flying time from the United States, Belize is the least populated country in Central America, drawing in thousands of couples every year thanks to its unspoiled landscapes and exotic wildlife. About the same size as Massachusetts, Belize is home to just 360,000 people, many of whom still enjoy a traditional lifestyle in small villages.

Belize is a popular wedding destination thanks to its ease in getting married (the only main requirement is that the bride and groom must be in the country three days), the fact that it is the only country in the region where English is the official language (making it easy to find someone to officiate the ceremony), and its incredibly varied landscape. With hundreds of tropical offshore islands, Belize is also blessed with a lush mainland replete with pristine rainforests and majestic waterfalls.

Once the nuptials have taken place, Belize has everything newlyweds need to enjoy a fantastic honeymoon. The country is home to more ancient Maya ruins than anywhere else on the planet, and there are boundless adventures to be enjoyed on the mainland such as horseback riding through vast national parks, zip lining through the jungle canopy, and cave tubing (floating down subterranean rivers while aboard an inner tube). And the offshore islands are a world-famous mecca for scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, and sailing.

“We are honored to have been chosen by Elite Daily as one of their 10 outrageously gorgeous wedding locations,” said Larry France, marketing manager at Chabil Mar. “At our resort, we’ve helped make many couples’ dreams come true, working with them to ensure every detail is perfect on their special day.”

Chabil Mar is the premier wedding destination in Belize. Located on the golden shores of the Placencia Peninsula in southeastern Belize, Chabil Mar is an award-winning luxury resort featuring comprehensive wedding packages that offer guests everything they need to enjoy an unforgettable ceremony.

On July 23, 2017, WestJet announced that it will be adding a second Belize route beginning on November 3, 2017. The new non-stop flight will connect Calgary (YYC) to Belize City (BZE) with weekly departures throughout the 2017/2018 winter season.

WestJet became the first Canadian airline to fly non-stop to Belize in more than 20 years when it began operating its popular Toronto-Belize City route in October 2016. After an immensely successful 2016/2017 winter season, arch rival Air Canada announced that it will begin also flying non-stop from Toronto to Belize.

As a former British colony, Belize is the only nation in Central America where English is the official language. Although its territory is roughly the same size as the American state of Massachusetts, Belize has a small population of just 360,000 people. A true melting pot society, Belize is enriched by its many indigenous cultures, including Spanish-speaking Mestizos, German-speaking Mennonites, and the Afro-Caribbean Garifuna people.

Belize has a long Caribbean coastline and hundreds of offshore islands and coral atolls strung out along the enormous Belize Barrier Reef, the second-largest barrier reef in the world after Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Belize Barrier Reef is a mecca for snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, and fishing.

Chabil Mar is a multiple award-winning luxury resort located on the golden sands of the Placencia Peninsula in southern Belize. Chabil Mar has lavishly appointed villas, a lush tropical garden, elegant seafront pier (perfect for open-air dining), and a gourmet restaurant serving three daily courses of seafood, tropical cocktails, and delicious local and international fare.

Chabil Mar means “Beautiful Sea” in the local Maya dialect and is conveniently located close to the Belize Barrier Reef and offers guests a number of Belize vacation packages to enjoy all the exciting adventures that the islands have to offer.

Chabil Mar is also close to all of the top attractions on the mainland, including bird watching and hiking in the vast trackless wilderness of the Cockscomb Basin Nature Preserve (home to some of Central America’s last surviving jaguars), boat expeditions up the well-named Monkey River, and explorations of ancient Maya cities like Tikal, Xunantunich, and Nim Li Punit.

Chabil Mar is  a perennial TripAdvisor favorite thanks to its outstanding customer service and world-class amenities. All guests of the resort have the complimentary use of bicycles, paddle boards, sea kayaks, and high-speed wireless internet.
