Beautiful Belize is taking on some luxury.

The beautiful country of Belize is slowly but surely taking the lead as one of the most sought-after destinations in Central America, or anywhere for that matter, not only for adventure tourists and water-lovers but also for significant hoteliers.

More Investments for the Country

What's happening in Belize is incredible. The arrival of branded hotels with on-site residences continues to pique the interest of folks who desire an island hotel residence, but with a rental program in place while they are away. This small, yet genuinely extraordinary Caribbean paradise is welcoming with open arms, some incredible hotel brands. The Hilton's Mahogany Bay Resort & Beach Club, Four Seasons Caye Chapel, and of course, Leonardo DiCaprio's Blackadore Caye are just a few who are transforming beautiful Belize into luxury.

And Marriott® Hotels has two hotels in the mix as well: The Alaia and the upcoming Marriott® Residences Ambergris Caye. The Marriott Residences will be a luxury resort that will “Nurture one's soul while remaining faithful to its mission of preserving the island’s fragile ecosystems,” states ECI Development Co-Founders Joel Nagel and Michael Cobb.

Marriott® Residences Ambergris Caye

Due for completion in 2021, Marriott Residences will offer traditional colonial-style design that echoes the country's rich British heritage. It will also feature local Belizean hardwoods throughout and San Pedrano family heirlooms in the main lobby space. All these sophisticated homes will have beautiful ocean views and full access to the resort's exclusive amenities like two oceanfront pools, a cutting edge fitness center, and a luxury spa, to name a few.

But don't trade out your flip-flops for dress shoes or permanently park your golf cart. Ambergris Caye will always retain its unique laid-back style. Says Rachel Jensen, ECI's Vice President of Sales & Marketing, "If you have ever been to Ambergris Caye, you know that it is a pretty relaxed and quaint locale. In San Pedro, for instance, only cab drivers and a tiny number of residents use cars. Everyone else travels around in golf carts. The hotel design will blend in perfectly with the island's character.”
