There are even art deco life guard towers on the beach! The prices are amazing! Two bedroom villas start at $225,900 up to four bedroom villas for $375,000. The condos start at $139,900! The word on the street is that this will be one of the top five Caribbean destinations when it is completed - hotels, casinos, miles of beaches, world class restaurants and shopping, and all of the water adventures connected to the Caribbean!
Some background information for those that don’t have any idea where Belize and Ambergris Cay are located… Belize is on the Caribbean side of Central America - about 200 miles south of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. The Caribbean reef that borders Belize i
s the world’s second largest reef - 190 miles long. The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is number one. Ambergris Cay is the name of Belize’s largest island of the 200 cays off its coast. The island is only 25 miles long and just one mile wide. The history of the island goes way back to the Mayans, European Pirates, and Mexican Refugees who fled during the Caste War. The descendants from Mexico make up most of the island’s population today. The economy of the island was once dependent on the coconut industry, followed by the fishing industry. Today the economy is based on tourism, and is a very tax friendly country for all those connected to the country.
Belize is the only officially English speaking country in Latin America. It was a British Crown Colony for more than 100 years - British Honduras, and became an independent country in 1981. It is now a key destination for expats from all over the world because of demographics of the country, and its beautiful location in one of the most sought after Caribbean destinations.
