Belize: The World’s Most Beautiful Destination

belize is so beautiful

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder as Margaret Wolfe Hungerford wrote in 1878, Belize belongs at the top of Western Hemisphere lists because everything about this nation is beautiful.

Once upon a time, Central and South America were favored playgrounds of travelers from around the world because tourists could count on beauty and safety everywhere they went. But circumstances changed, say BBC travel writers citing Honduras’s world’s highest homicide rates followed by El Salvador and Guatemala.

Destinations like Brazil charmed visitors—-until out-of-control Amazon wildfires broke out–and Colombia and Mexico remain problematic. But there remains a bastion of safety and beauty in Belize that puts the nation atop “world’s most beautiful destination lists,” and it deserves your attention.

What makes Belize the world’s most beautiful destination?

For a small country, the grandeur visitors experience while visiting is nothing short of traffic-stopping, especially visitors choosing the 18-mile-long Placencia peninsula, a lush finger of land that incorporates the best Belize has to offer. If you’re lucky enough to be one of them, these beautiful sites will capture your heart, camera lens, and your imagination:

-Teeming jungles where birds and animals coexist with medicinal plants, stately trees, and exotic flowers.
-The world’s second-longest barrier reef, home to rainbow-colored fish and vivid corals.
-Ancient Maya ruins once home to huge communities of creative, spiritual, industrious peoples.
-The friendliest people in Central America. You’ve never been welcomed as fully or as graciously.
-Placencia’s famously-gorgeous beaches offering lagoon- and seaside fun.
-Sail, fish, dive and snorkel the turquoise sea, lovely landmarks, and little cayes.

Stay at Placencia’s most beautiful resort

Celebrate Valentine's in Belize

 

There’s a reason Chabil Mar Resort has become the preferred destination of tourists targeting Placencia as the Belize destination they most want to visit. Chabil Mar lives up to its reputation: “Beauty by Belize – Luxury by Design.” Every inch of this distinctly Belize resort is a study in the tropical splendor and natural beauty of Belize, from the flora and fauna of its landscape design to the Belize woods and local art included in its Villas’ decor.

Stroll 400-feet of private “Barefoot Perfect” beach along the Chabil Mar shore. Relax within movie set-worthy seafront villa suites, most of which are just 70-feet from the beach. Plan a group trip and occupy the luxury, 2-story seafront villa offering 2,000-square feet of living space.

Wander or bike into nearby towns, especially Placencia Village, home to “The World’s Narrowest Main Street.” Quaint shops, fun pubs, galleries and year-round festivals contribute to the unique character of this warm, hospitable area where tourists are treated like royalty.

If you’re going to come all this way, stay at a resort that will take your breath away from the moment you arrive until the time you must reluctantly leave. Belize and Placencia await all five of your senses, offering safety, security and wonder! Come experience all of this beauty for yourself.

Belize: It’s The Easiest, Breeziest Place On Earth!

What’s the point of taking a vacation if preparing for it ties you up in knots and stresses you out? Some overseas destinations call for learning a new language, applying for visas, shopping for special garments and sitting on planes for so many hours, you wind up jet lagged and exhausted by the time you arrive. Take a deep breath. You’ve got Belize. Not only is it easy to reach this laid-back Caribbean destination but your stay won’t cost you a fortune, either.

Vacation Belize Style

If you’re feeling skeptical and need proof that Belize is the easiest place you’ll ever visit, we offer this proof:
-No French, Spanish or Italian lessons required. Belize’s first language is English.
-Ten hour plane rides? Nope. Belize is just a couple of hours by air from southern states.
-A valid passport is your entry documentation because no visas are needed.
-Special clothing? That’s true. If you haven’t updated your flip-flop and swimsuit wardrobe, consider it.
-Worried that you’ll feel isolated and lonely? Impossible. Belizeans love tourists and you’ll feel welcome.
-In the mood for luxury and variety? Book a stay at a resort that is dedicated to taking care of all of your needs and requests: Chabil Mar Beach Resort.

The Chabil Mar distinction

What separates Chabil Mar from other resorts in Belize? For starters, it’s located on the Placencia peninsula, the area that has become the trendiest area of Belize because it gives visitors easy access to everything Belize has to offer: The world’s best beaches, a scenic lagoon, proximity to the great barrier reef and this finger of land is loaded with things to that are a bike ride or walk away.

But according to plenty of frequent Chabil Mar visitors, it’s just not that easy to leave the place they call paradise once they arrive and get the lay of the land!

From upscale designer accommodations that feature local art, Caribbean décor and touches you expect from a world-class resort, sea-facing villas range up to 2,000 square feet, so forget about being crammed into a tiny room during your stay. Explore nearby Placencia Village or take advantage of sports equipment every guest can borrow (think kayaks and paddleboards). Even dining is elegant, thanks to Chef Daniels whose culinary skills are legendary.

USA Today: Belize Among Safest Places to Vacation!

 

Belize Is A Safe Places to Vacation

“USA Today” recently unveiled a list of countries that will both accept Americans looking to go vacationing and happen to be a safe place to visit during COVID-19.

Each of the countries featured in the article was profiled, including how they handle travel regulations and stipulations regarding testing. In news that should be surprising to no local, Belize was regarded as one of the safest vacation venues on the list. But just because a place is safe to visit, does it have plenty to offer? Keep reading to see just much you have to look forward to coming to Belize.

Before we get into the juicy details, you should know the specifics required to enter. Coming to this country requires you to present a negative COVID-19 test result, either on the day you enter the country or from a test you took while within the airport. You must also submit to a second test, that produces a negative result before you can return home.

Top Attractions To Explore When You Visit

  • ATM Cave. “The Cave of the Crystal Sepulchre” is a cave system that houses several Maya remains, stoneware artifacts and its namesake, the crystallized remains of a sacrifice.
  • The Belize Barrier Reef. This is the second-largest barrier reef on the planet and provides shelter and food for a sweeping array of hundreds of sea creatures. It is also where you can find the next item on this list of Belize’s best hits. This area is also a great spot if you fancy any sort of aquatic activity, be it fishing or diving.
  • The Great Blue Hole. This underwater sinkhole is attached to the Belize Barrier Reef and deep enough to produce a gorgeous disparity in color when viewed from above. Much like the Belize Barrier Reef, this place is home to a large variety of sealife, including several species of coral that you can freely observe by diving.
  • Lubantuum and Nim Li Punit. These ruins, in the south of the country, were the most prominent centers of influence and population for the ancient Maya.

Belize Among Safest Places to Vacation

Note that another stipulation of being able to visit Belize is booking your stay with a COVID-19 safe, Gold standard hotel or resort. To that end, please consider staying at Chabil Mar.

Chabil Mar is an award-winning resort in Placencia, Belize, that can cover almost every need for every guest.
