Ambergris Caye

Ambergris Caye is the largest and most populated islands situated just off the coast of Belize. The island's coastline is protected by the barrier reef making it a great place to go scuba diving, snorkelling or fishing. Once a fishing village, San Pedro is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in Belize, and the only inhabited town on the island San Pedro. As such it offers a quaint taste of traditional Belizean culture and lifestyle. Mexican and Caribbean style buildings mix with colonial English architecture along the streets of the town. Adapting to its status as a tourist destination, there are several bars, restaurants, cafes, shops and hotels on offer. Considered a high end area, Ambergris Caye is very popular with investors and those shrewd enough to have entered the market 20 years ago have watched prices triple.

Punta Gorda

Punta Gorda is the southern most town in Belize, situated within the Toledo district. In the midst of verdant jungle, the village has a very rural feel to it. Although not fully equipped to satisfy tourists' many whims, Punta Gorda is the perfect base for those eager to explore nearby rainforests, villages and historic sites and gives a real taste of Belizean life.

Situated in a valley of seven hills, San Ignacio is the hub of the Cayo district and emerging as a popular tourist spot. Culturally diverse with a laid back atmosphere, several outdoor activities and a good nightlife, this city should continue to mature into a favourite with visitors.

Belize City

Belize City is the biggest urban area in the country and remains relatively un-trodden by tourists. Here the true culture of the Belizean people is preserved along with historic cathedrals, handicraft centres and a commercial centre. Grans farm is very popular with tourists and locals alike situated just outside the city and offers several activities such as canoeing, hiking, swimming and tours of the tropical botanical gardens. This has not yet become a property hotspot but with the rise in tourism, increased demand for real estate is expected.

Cayo District

The lush and verdant Cayo district offers the very best of Belize's natural bounty. As well as breathtaking Mayan ruins to rival Machu Pichu in Peru, there are the stunning thousand foot waterfalls, magical secret falls, hiking and horse riding in jungle-sheathed mountains and exhilarating river rafting. The Caribbean Sea's palm-fringed beaches, heavenly islands and world-class diving, fishing and snorkeling facilities are also within an hour's drive making this the ideal place to invest.
