Geography & Location

Located on the eastern coast of Central America Belize is bordered to the north by Mexico, to the south and west by Guatemala, and to the east by the stunning Caribbean Sea.

Belize has the second largest barrier reef in the world, and over 200 islands shelter just offshore. It is home to beautiful white sandy palm fringed beaches and clear azure waters, and those who discover its delights often liken it to a paradise.

The nation is geographically, historically and culturally diverse and enjoys a tropical climate, and surprisingly considering its desirability it has the lowest population density of countries in the region. The rainy season runs from June through November, and the high season for tourism corresponds roughly to the dry season which is December through May.

Ambergris Caye

Ambergris Caye real estate is the most popular real estate market in Belize. Lying to the northeast of mainland Belize is Ambergris Caye, the nation’s largest and most popular island. It forms part of the Belize District but is geographically closest to the district of Corozal. (You can scroll down to see Ambergris Caye real estate listings.)

The Caye is 25 miles long and between half a mile and 5 miles wide.  It has one large settlement, San Pedro Town.  The town dominates the southern part of the island and is the gateway to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the second largest in the world.  Also known as the Great Mayan Reef it lies half a mile offshore and protects Ambergris Caye’s entire Caribbean coastline.

The island has become the center for the majority of Belize real estate interest – and the prices Ambergris Caye real estate reflect this demand. There is a wide array of vacation homes, condos, houses, vacation rentals, land developments, and property investments available to fit any real estate buyers needs.
