Belize

“I am able to tell you Katie that, without exception, all the people I talked to wished they had had a trip scheduled as mine was”

Beaches, snorkelling, scuba diving, fishing, sailing, spa

Mountains draped in lush jungle; richly exotic wildlife (birds, butterflies, big cats and more); sugar-white beaches, pristine offshore cayes and sapphire blue waters that shelter one of the world’s most diverse marine ecosystems….and offer excellent diving, snorkelling and fishing. Add to this astounding natural beauty a cultural and ethnic melting pot, Mayan ruins, and a string of chic jungle and beach lodges, and you have a small-but-perfectly-formed jewel.

It’s an easy country to move around: the roads are empty (though sometimes impossibly bumpy) and we also use private charter flights. We have sought out those lodges that combine great style with local charm and we have found expert guides who will reveal the country’s hidden secrets.

Best visited: December to June

All itineraries are individually designed, but as a guide, we can arrange a ten days in Belize (excluding flights) from £1900 per person
