Remember, Belize is part a vital part of the Caribbean tourist industry, and it is breathtaking!

In the SCUBA diving community, Belize is world renown for its dazzling array diving opportunities along the second largest reef in the world.  In the resort community, Belize is one of the true bargains in the Caribbean because of it’s white coral sand beaches, fabulous five-star resorts, and 365 days a year of Tropical climate! It is also the only English speaking country in Central America. It was originally one of the British Crown Colonies in the Caribbean.

he BIG deal that is unfolding in Belize is the recreation of South Beach, Florida’s art deco era in the 1950’s. South Beach Belize on Ambergris Caye is where it is happening.  This is an 800+ acre planned development on the southern tip of Ambergris Caye. One of my real estate friends is leading the marketing efforts for this project that is just breaking ground – Dr. Tom McPeak. Here is his latest report as to why all of us should take a moment and check it out.

From Dr.McPeak:  Have you noticed how private island resorts and private island ownership are experiencing global rise in popularity? With the world currency buying any USD properties at bargain basement prices, they are following the sun, and Belize is one of the top five destinations in the Caribbean they are focused upon.  We are very fortunate to be a part of the most exciting resort opportunity in the history of Belize.  South Beach Belize is approximately 800 acres on the southern end of 25-mile long Ambergris Caye.  Archeological evidence indicates it may have been inhabited at one time by 10,000 Maya people, and was important as a mixed fishing and trading center.   Today Ambergris Caye has a population of about 8,000 with 7,000 living in San Pedro, just 3.5 miles north of South Beach Belize.  It has become internationally known as a salt water sport fishing destination, in addition to diving and snorkeling.  South Beach Belize on Ambergris Caye is just an additional 17 minutes flight via either of two local airlines, or 75 minutes via water taxi.  As the crow flies, it is about 29 miles from Belize City to Ambergris Caye.  What is being discovered with the buyers of Caribbean real estate is their in wanting exclusivity and privacy, and they are willing to pay for it.  This is one of the many reasons the world is coming to South Beach Belize.

The blue Caribbean Sea, sandy beaches, and waving palms are as beautiful on Ambergris Caye as any other Caribbean country destinations that cost two to three times as much for a 5-star resort, or purchasing real estate.  It is also located on the second largest barrier reef system in the world.  That is why South Beach Belize on Ambergris Caye might be one of the most intelligent places to buy TODAY.  The real estate opportunities are extensive and very affordable:  Lots for any size Villa you want to build (hold for investment until ready to build),   Condos starting at $139,900, six models of Villas starting at $199,900 INCLUDING THE LOT, or even a complete turn-key Boutique Hotel (thirty hotels are planned in the style of South Beach Miami) for just under $7 million USD each.  You own and manage the hotel and gain the revenue from all aspects of the hotel and restaurant/bar that is a part of the package.  There is even an opportunity to be considered as one of the partners in the development of the elegant Casino that will be built as part of this planned luxury community. The development team at South Beach Belize is standing ready to be a resource for having your Tropical dreams come true – as a second home, or for full time living.  Caribbean Islands Realty and Jim Walberg are standing ready to serve any off your inquiries or purchases of this unique and special real estate opportunity.  Contact him today for more information!
