Travel & Hospitality Awards - Americas 2023

Tucked away along the east coast of Central America on the Caribbean Sea is a small but incredibly
beautiful country that’s literally packed with sights that will take your breath away. It can only be
Belize.
The Cayes
With more than 400 islands, or cayes as they’re known
locally, there’s an incredible number of beautiful places
to explore in Belize. Ranging from the biggest (Ambergris
Caye, home to towns and resorts) to the hundreds of tiny
desert islands that you could call your own, it’s a perfect
holiday if white sands and turquoise seas are your kind of
thing.
Mayan Ruins
Scattered throughout Central America, the best preserved
sites of the ancient Mayan civilisations are found in Belize.
The most famous is Caracol, a
sprawling site that’s home
to numerous temples,
including the mysterious
“Sky Palace”.
The Belize Barrier Reef
The country is home to the world’s second largest reef
system behind Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. It stretches for
hundreds of miles off the coast and serves as the habitat
for a stunning variety of tropical fish and other beautiful
sea creatures. It’s one of the natural wonders of the world
– and for good reason.
The Great Blue Hole
You might have seen the image
somewhere before: a deep blue
circle in the middle of the
azure blue seas of the Belize
Barrier Reef. Originally
explored by underwater
legend Jacques Cousteau,
it’s a giant 125-metre deep
sinkhole that has rightly
become a paradise for
scuba divers and other ocean
adventurers.
