When it comes time to choosing a great summer vacation, savvy travelers want an interesting, exotic place that’s easy to get to and has an affordable buffet of cool adventures to choose from. Just a few hours’ flying time from major cities in the United States, Belize has a bevy of options ranging from a tropical island paradise getaway to a full-on Indiana Jones adventure, braving thick jungle to explore lost pyramids of the ancient Maya.
Wedged between the sparkling waters of the Caribbean and the steamy jungles of Guatemala, Belize is uniquely the only country in the region where English is the official language. Lyrically praised in the 1986 Madonna hit single, “La Isla Bonita”, Belize is a land where families, groups, honeymooners, and adventure travelers can all enjoy an unforgettable summer vacation.

Away from distracting screens and smartphones, a family summer vacation in Belize is a great way to enjoy balmy temperatures, plenty of fresh air, and an exotical natural wonderland to explore.

A Land of Love
Hand in hand, sitting on your private deck overlooking the Caribbean, watching the sun rise over the sparkling water after enjoying an unforgettable gourmet candlelit dinner under the stars is just one of the many reasons why couples choose Belize for their wedding and honeymoon. Simple license requirements and spectacularly romantic locations make Belize a great choice for lovers.
Adventure Land
If your idea of a fantastic summer vacation is enjoying thrilling adventures in the great outdoors, Belize is the perfect destination for you.
