The Belize Hotel Accommodation Guide is produced by Belize Hotel Association.
Belize, nestled in the heart of Central America, is more than just a travel destination; it is a distinctive invitation to immerse in transformative adventures and grow through exploration and discovery. The country’s unique blend of ancient history, cultural richness, and natural wonders offers travellers the opportunity to engage deeply with both the landscape and the people, creating life-changing experiences. Whether diving into the deep blue sea, hiking through the jungle, or exploring ancient Maya temples, Belize promises both adventure and selfgrowth.
The Great Blue Hole, one of the most remarkable natural attractions in Belize, is a world-renowned dive site located at the heart of the second-largest barrier reef in the world. This legendary underwater sinkhole, stretching 300 meters wide and plunging over 120 meters deep, attracts divers and snorkelers from around the world. The descent into its azure abyss is a profound journey into nature’s hidden masterpiece, where divers encounter reef sharks, groupers, barracudas and ancient limestone formations. The quiet below, the infinite blue, and the realization of how small we are in the face of nature’s grandeur can be truly transformative.
For those more inclined to stay above water, Belize provides the perfect setting to ground yourself in nature. Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve and Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary offer meandering trails through lush jungles, leading to hidden waterfalls and natural swimming holes like Big Rock Falls, Thousand Foot Falls, and Rio On Pools. As you hike through the heart of the first ever jaguar reserve in the world, you’ll find secret swimming holes and natural pools, where cool, refreshing waters become places for quiet reflection surrounded by untamed landscapes.
History buffs and cultural explorers will appreciate the opportunity to step back into ancient history. Belize is home to some of the most impressive Maya temples in the region, including Caracol, Xunantunich, and Altun Ha. Caracol, once one of the most powerful Maya cities, boasts aweinspiring pyramids and plazas and when you climb these towering temples you can enjoy sweeping views of the Chiquibul Forest. There’s something transformative about standing where time seems to stand still, surrounded by the legacy of one of the world’s greatest civilizations.
In addition to its rich history, Belize is a birdwatcher’s paradise. With over 650 species, the country is a haven for rare and colorful creatures. Whether at Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary or one of Belize’s many protected reserves, spotting vibrant toucans, trogons, or even the majestic jabiru stork can fill you with moments of joy and serenity. The art of birdwatching here invites patience, attention, and a deep connection with the natural world around you.
Belize’s vibrant culture adds another layer to its transformative power. The Garifuna, Creole, Mestizo, and Maya communities each offer distinct, yet interconnected experiences. Visit the coastal village of Hopkins, where the drums of Garifuna punta music stir the soul, and sample traditional dishes like hudut, made with coconut and plantains. These moments, where music, food, and tradition collide, remind us that transformation often comes through our shared human experiences.
In Belize, transformation is not just about what you see, but about how those sights, sounds, and encounters change you. Whether you’re diving into the depths of the Great Blue Hole, hiking through lush rainforests, standing in the shadow of ancient temples, or dancing to the rhythms of Garifuna music, Belize offers an experience that transcends tourism. It’s a journey of discovery—of the world and of oneself.
This is Belize. Discover it. Explore it. And let it transform you.

The Belize Barrier Reef, the second-largest in the world, stretches 190 miles along the coast, offering breathtaking beauty and vital biodiversity. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, it’s crucial for travelers and the planet’s health. Imagine standing at the edge of such a critical ecosystem— How can we explore responsibly while leaving a positive impact?
The Blue Hole is a world-renowned marine sinkhole that plunges 400 feet into the depths, housing unique limestone formations and graceful reef sharks. With each dive, we join Belize’s efforts to sustain this remarkable marine haven. We help protect the Blue Hole’s wonders for future adventurers by choosing ethical dive operators who follow strict conservation guidelines.
As Belizean dive guide Juan Carlos Montejo says, “Every conscious diver helps safeguard our reef’s beauty. With mindful diving, you become a part of Belize’s conservation journey.”
Belize is home to countless islands, from vibrant Ambergris Caye to peaceful gems like South Water Caye, each offering eco-friendly travel experiences. As you snorkel in crystal-clear waters, you’ll encounter pristine ecosystems where responsible travel is vital. How can we ensure we leave no trace?
Simple steps make a big difference: using reef-safe products, supporting local businesses, and joining beach clean-ups are impactful ways to enjoy Belize while giving back. Imagine spending a day islandhopping and knowing that each choice you make helps keep these islands pristine.
From mangrove-lined rivers to lush jungles, Belize’s ecosystems interconnect to protect its unique coastal beauty. Healthy inland jungles filter water that flows to the reef, meaning that trekking in Belize’s forests also impacts the ocean. Each ecosystem you explore affects the next—a reminder that responsible travel reaches beyond any destination.
Every small choice adds up. Here’s how you can make a difference on your journey:
1. EDUCATE YOURSELF: Learn about Belize’s ecosystems and the importance of conservation from local experts and guides.
2. CHOOSE SUSTAINABLE OPERATORS: Opt for tour companies dedicated to reef restoration and marine protection.
3. ENGAGE LOCALLY: Support Belizean businesses prioritizing environmental care and giving back to local communities.
4. REDUCE PLASTIC: Plastic pollution endangers marine life, so bring reusable items and participate in local cleanups if you can.
“Every visitor who chooses sustainability makes a difference,” shares Juan Carlos. “Our livelihoods depend on the reef’s health, and we invite you to join us in preserving it.”
Exploring Belize’s marine treasures offers a chance to connect with the natural world and reflect on our role as stewards of these ecosystems. Each conscious choice leaves a legacy for Belize’s reefs, ensuring that future explorers experience this paradise as vibrantly as we do.
Let’s cherish and protect Belize’s blue wonders together—ensuring they thrive for future

The Power of Seaweed: A Local Resource with Limitless Potential
Belize’s coastline and rich marine environment provide abundant seaweed traditionally used in remedies, sea moss drinks, and local dishes. But today, seaweed’s versatility shines through various beauty, nutrition, and wellness applications. Imagine the refreshing aroma of seaweedinfused haircare or the rich, oceanic taste of seaweed in a Belizean smoothie—seaweed brings a

each guest’s experience with authentic, locallymade products and services. These businesses keep culture alive, infusing each visitor’s stay with genuine Belizean hospitality. A standout MSME is iKOOMA: Belizean Seaweed Haircare, a pioneering company that repurposes Belizean seaweed to craft sustainable, natural haircare products for locals and visitors alike.
sensory connection to Belize’s coast. Here’s how Belizean MSMEs are harnessing its power:
Nutritional Supplements: Packed with essential minerals and vitamins, seaweed has become a popular addition to smoothies and dietary supplements.
Beauty Products: Seaweed has nourishing and hydrating properties and is highly sought after in skincare and hair care.
Eco-Friendly Innovations: Some entrepreneurs even use seaweed in biodegradable packaging and sustainable farming practices, supporting environmental health.
One such innovator is iKOOMA, where owner Jolie Pollard uses Belizean seaweed to produce a line of hair care products highlighting local resources, beauty and sustainability. “Our seaweed products are more than just haircare—they’re a piece of Belize,” shares Pollard, whose creations offer natural nourishment while aligning with eco-conscious values. MSMEs like iKOOMA demonstrate how Belize’s unique resources and innovative practices can meet the demands of modern consumers, all while preserving the essence of the country.
As seaweed-based businesses expand, Belize’s MSME sector shows that environmental responsibility and economic growth can go hand-in-hand. By choosing locally produced products, consumers actively support Belize’s small businesses and promote the sustainable use of marine resources. Every purchase of a Belizean seaweed product is more than a beauty or health investment—it’s a contribution to the MSME economy, a celebration of Belize’s rich natural
resources, and a commitment to environmental responsibility. Next time you visit Belize, take a piece of its culture with you—whether in the form of a locally-made seaweed product or by supporting the artisans and producers who bring Belize’s vibrant spirit to life. Each product is a way to savor Belize’s beauty, taste, and energy, sustaining your memories and the communities that make those experiences unforgettable.

In partnership with Muy’Ono Resorts, photographer Kaejon Misuraca encountered a stunning sea turtle during a snorkeling excursion at Glover’s Reef. Free diving, an exhilarating extension of snorkeling, is a favorite activity in Belize, offering adventurers the chance to immerse themselves in the underwater world with just a single breath.
These warm, pristine waters provide the perfect backdrop for exploration. Guests at a Muy’Ono Resort enjoy a truly unforgettable experience that showcases the breathtaking beauty and vibrant culture of Belize while prioritizing the preservation of its delicate ecosystem.
