Belize

Despite being the only English speaking country in Central America, Belize’s culture is a real mix of Latin America and Caribbean influences, leading to delicious fusion cuisine and a keen use of rum-based cocktails. Deeply rooted in Mayan culture, the country is dotted with ancient ruins housing tombs and artefacts – the remnants of a long lost civilisation from times gone by.

Home to the planet’s second biggest barrier reef, the scuba diving and snorkelling spots here are said to be some of the best in the world. Spot stingrays, sea turtles, basking sharks and colourful fish as part of your adventure. The destination lends itself perfectly to a luxury holiday – from secluded beach huts to exclusive resorts located in some of the country’s most awe-inspiring settings, luxury here takes on a new meaning.
