An idyllic destination to create a memorable honeymoon
Belize honeymoons offer the perfect blend of luxury and adventure for couples seeking an intimate and exotic escape.
While often overshadowed by its neighbours, Belize provides a rich combination of natural beauty, ancient Mayan ruins, and breathtaking Caribbean beaches, making it an idyllic destination for couples to create a truly memorable honeymoon.
Deep in the lush rainforests of the San Ignacio region, explore ancient Mayan ruins like Xunantunich and Caracol. Stay in a luxurious eco-lodge, such as Ka’ana Resort, where you’ll enjoy hacienda-style rooms or casitas, spa treatments, and gourmet dining amidst the natural beauty of the jungle. Couples can enjoy immersive adventures, from cave tubing and horseback riding to stargazing under clear night skies.
For beach lovers, head to the white sandy shores of Placencia or Ambergris Caye, where crystal-clear waters and luxurious resorts await. Indulge in a stay at the stylish Itz’ana Resort, a beachfront haven, or the exclusive Matachica Resort, both offering private cabanas, oceanfront dining, and couples’ spa experiences. Spend your days snorkelling in the Belize Barrier Reef, kayaking through turquoise waters, or simply relaxing in a hammock with a tropical cocktail.
