A Sunny, Care-Free Trip to the Tropics of Belize Is in Your Future

You’ll Have to See It to Belize It

If chilly mornings and overcast days have left you desperately wanting a cocktail made of equal parts saltwater, sun and rum, the secluded Ambergris Caye—the largest of 200 islands off the coast of Belize—might be just what you need. Direct flights arrive daily in Belize City, the capital of Belize, from LAX. Then, flights depart from Belize City several times per hour for Ambergris Caye for the quick 35-mile flight.

 

Stay Awhile

Take your shoes off and make yourself right at home. Victoria House Resort & Spa Belize is known for its relaxing “island vibe” and barefoot elegance throughout the resort. It’s situated within walking distance of the downtown area of San Pedro, a fishing village of about 18,000 people. You will want to rent a golf cart, as it is the primary mode of transportation on the island. The gorgeous oceanfront property features various accommodations like tropical casitas, standalone villas with private pools, ocean-view villas and elegantly decorated rooms in a two-story Colonial-style building.

The resort is perfect for the adventure-seeker as well as the lounge chair lover. If you are the adventurous type, you can dive the Great Blue Hole and Shark Ray Alley, climb Mayan temples, zip line across a jungle canopy or be taken into the Mayan “underworld” by cave tubing. The experienced and veteran teams at Victoria House and PADI-certified Fantasea Dive Shop, located on the property’s pier, can arrange a multitude of activities for guests, such as diving, snorkeling, fishing and caving.

 

Not a Worry in the World

If sitting in a hammock with a never-ending supply of mojitos is your idea of relaxation, then Victoria House has you covered. You can choose to chill by the main or infinity-edge pools. Loungers are easy to come by since there are only 42 guest rooms at the resort, and service is friendly and omnipresent. With winter temperatures in Ambergris Caye averaging 75 degrees, Victoria House is a warm-weather destination that will chase away your winter blues.

Erik Hale is the visionary and publisher behind LOCALE Magazine. He launched the magazine in 2010, wanting to give the community of OC a premiere lifestyle magazine that knew all the native knowledge behind OC. “Six years ago Ashley and I sat at a table scratching the name LOCALE (among some other names) onto a sheet of paper,” says Erik, “coming up with story ideas and basically dreaming. Everything we imagined has happened and we have been blessed with so much more. I am so grateful as we start another year for my family, my two wonderful children, my health, our amazing writers, designers and photographers, our advertising partners and you.”
