BELIZE
Central America’s Gem
Where adventure meets laid-back vibes.
Where is Belize?
Tucked between Mexico and Guatemala, with the Caribbean Sea lapping at its eastern shore, Belize is a small but mighty country in Central America. It’s the only English-speaking country in the region and is blessed with a fascinating mix of Caribbean, Latin, and Maya influences. Think tropical paradise with a twist of cultural spice.
From the world’s second-largest barrier reef to lush rainforests, ancient Maya temples to vibrant beach towns, Belize packs a big punch for a country roughly the size of Massachusetts.
How to Get to Belize
Getting here is easy. Belize’s Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) is the country’s main international gateway and receives direct flights from major U.S. cities like Miami, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Charlotte, New York, Los Angeles, and more. Travel time from the U.S. is typically 2–4 hours.
Once you land, your Belize adventure begins—whether you’re hopping on a puddle jumper to the islands, taking a scenic drive inland, or heading straight for the beach.
Language & Currency
Belize’s official language is English, but you’ll also hear Spanish, Kriol, Garifuna, and Maya dialects. Don’t be surprised if you catch a sentence that blends a little of everything—that’s the magic of Belizean culture.
The official currency is the Belize Dollar (BZD), which is pegged to the U.S. Dollar at 2:1. That means $1 USD = $2 BZD, and U.S. dollars are widely accepted throughout the country.
Vibe Check: What’s Belize Like?
Belize is like that effortlessly cool friend who can dress up or go barefoot. It’s laid-back but never boring, authentic but never out of touch. People are friendly, things move on “island time,” and the adventure comes naturally—whether you’re scuba diving with nurse sharks, sipping fresh coconut water, or dancing to a drumbeat on the beach.
The country’s mix of eco-luxury resorts, jungle lodges, and beachy cabanas means there’s something for everyone, from honeymooners and families to solo travelers and thrill-seekers.
Belize Resorts
Belize is home to a range of authentic, handpicked resorts, lodges and vacation rentals that reflect the country’s natural beauty and charm. Think beachfront villas with hammocks and thatched-roof jungle lodges nestled in the trees.
Whether you’re dreaming of waking up to the sound of ocean waves or sipping coffee while overlooking a misty rainforest, Belize has the perfect stay to match your vibe.
Many properties are locally owned, with warm hospitality, personalized service, and easy access to some of the country’s top natural attractions. Accommodations range from eco-luxury to rustic-chic, all designed to help you unwind and connect with your surroundings.
Belize Tours & Experiences
Whether you want to snorkel Hol Chan Marine Reserve, zipline across the rainforest canopy, explore ancient Maya ruins, or simply chill in a hammock with a Belikin beer, Belize offers experiences you won’t find anywhere else.
Adventure and culture are around every corner, with opportunities to learn, explore, and dive into Belizean life.
Take a cooking class, visit a wildlife sanctuary, or hop on a catamaran for a sunset sail—there’s no shortage of unforgettable moments waiting for you.
Best of all, you don’t need to pack your schedule to feel fulfilled. In Belize, the magic happens just as often in the quiet, unscripted moments as it does in the big adventures.
