Margaritaville Beach Resort Ambergris Caye in Belize has officially opened its doors. The secluded, sustainable, family-friendly retreat just north of San Pedro is steps away from a beach that’s home to the second largest coral reef in the world.
Ambergris Caye is surrounded by crystal-clear Caribbean waters and a 190-mile-long barrier reef teeming with marine life. It is Belize’s largest island, just on the tip of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, a short drive from the city of San Pedro.
After reaching the resort by private boat shuttle, guests can recharge in the Victorian-inspired open-air lobby, margarita in hand, indulge in soothing spa services, or enjoy dips in two lagoon-like pools—one oceanfront and one exclusively for families—besides enjoying live music and entertainment.
The family-friendly resort has 55 suites; travelers can choose from a range of suites including one- and two-bedroom layouts and a two-bedroom Penthouse Suite with a wraparound terrace. Many of the suites frame views of the Caribbean Sea or the mangrove and all have oversized terraces with Adirondack chairs, smart TVs, and a combination of king beds, queen beds and pull-out sofa beds. Select suite categories include a complete kitchen. Guests can also customize their in-room offerings through Smugglers Cove, an on-site store blending gourmet offerings with everyday essentials.
Guests can enjoy locally sourced, island-inspired eats at Riddles in the Sand; a little bit of shore-side grilling at Sun-Baked BBQ; drinks indoors at The Sandbar; or poolside libations at The Boat Drinks. Guests can also avail of four purpose-built BBQ and picnic areas, plus BBQ kits available for guests to brush up on grilling skills while they take in ocean views—or enjoy meals prepared by a private chef. Bonfires and events will also be hosted bi-weekly.
On-site activities include snorkeling, deep-sea fishing excursions, non-motorized water sports, and more. Travelers can connect with fellow guests with cornhole and horseshoe tournaments, pickleball matches, beachside bonfires, culinary and mixology classes, to name a few.
For those seeking rest and relaxation, the St. Somewhere Spa houses five treatment “bungalows,” including one designed for couples, and a full-service beauty salon.
