Belize

‘Why would anyone want to go to a place that has nothing to offer beyond mysterious jungle paths, hidden Mayan pyramids, exotic flora and fauna, spectacular Caribbean beaches and the world’s second-largest barrier reef – where you can dive among undulating rays and schools of iridescent fish – plus hospitable people, political stability and an incredible array of luxury accommodations? Ah. Right. Well, then, if you can look past all of that and imagine a bespoke vacation in Belize, we’ll see what we can do’…

belize highlights

Below are a few top experiences that may feature in your bespoke Belize itinerary.

• Scuba-diving with whale sharks. These huge but gentle giants are seen off the coast of Belize between March and June, and are most likely to be spotted when it’s a full moon. You can also snorkel above them as they often come right up to surface.
• The Hol Chan Marine Reserve, where you can snorkel with stingrays.
• Caving the Actun Tunichil Muknal caves, one of Belize’s many Mayan caves. Plunging into darkness, clambering through crevices, and dipping under water, before exploring the site of a Mayan sacrifice.
• Snorkeling with manatees. Otherwise known as sea-cows, these curious creatures are an endangered species but thrive in Belize. Swimming with them is a magical and really quite hypnotic experience.
• The Blue Hole, a popular destination among scuba divers looking to spot Caribbean reef sharks.

It is amazing here!! Of all places travelled, this is Amy’s favourite which is fitting for her 40th birthday. The service is incredible too. Both Blancaneaux and Turtle Inn are very different but obviously follow the same level of service, quality and uniqueness to the grounds. The butler service was next level though!   The whole family loved the trip. Thank you very much for planning such an amazing trip Marie-France.

Neil & Amy, Belize ~ Family Holiday, March 2025

We’re on our way home and wanted to thank you again for booking an incredible trip! Both the Luxury Lodges in Mexico and Belize were beautiful. Great weather and service. We even decided to do a second snorkelling excursion while here (doing both the inner and outer reef). Couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you again.
