Belize: the place to be right now!
Situated on the western edge of the Caribbean Sea only two hours by air from the United States, the Central American nation of Belize offers a rich mixture of spectacular natural beauty, Mayan heritage and European influences.

Once known primarily among an international coterie of scuba divers and eco-adventurers, Belize is quietly becoming a hot spot. Renowned film director Francis Ford Coppola has created two upscale resorts in Belize and both Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio own property in the country.

Belize encompasses an amazing array of settings — from mountain ranges and tropical rainforests to white sand beaches and the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. The country’s moderate climate, abundant sunshine and genuinely friendly people make it a pleasure to visit year-round.

Reflecting its historical connection to Britain, English is the national language and the Belize dollar is fixed at a 2:1 ratio to the U.S. dollar. Unlike Mexico and other Caribbean nations, Belize permits U.S. citizens to own coastal land with title guaranteed by the government.

Belize is both reassuringly familiar and surprisingly new. The relaxed atmosphere and unspoiled surroundings recall simpler times, yet the modern conveniences remind you that this is a country prepared to realize its brilliant potential.
