Everything you need to know about Belize

Belize vacations offer the second-largest reef in the world, island beaches on Ambergris Caye, and a jungle-and-Maya interior, all in English-speaking Central America. Belize is for travellers who want reef and adventure over resort polish — the barrier reef and the Blue Hole are world-class for snorkelling and diving, the caye islands run on golf carts and beach bars, and the mainland hides Maya ruins, jungle rivers and cave tubing. Resorts here are mostly boutique and full-service rather than big all-inclusives, and English is the official language.
