Why Ambergris Caye, Belize.

  1. Ambergris Caye sits beside the Belize Barrier Reef — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the second-largest reef system on earth.

  2. The Great Blue Hole, a perfectly circular 124-metre sinkhole that Jacques Cousteau ranked among the world’s top dives, is a day trip from the island.

  3. San Pedro is a barefoot, golf-cart town — the "La Isla Bonita" of Madonna’s song — all wooden piers, beach bars, and Caribbean ease.

  4. Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley deliver snorkelling with nurse sharks and rays a short boat ride from shore.

  5. English is the official language, making Belize an unusually easy Caribbean-reef base for first-time divers and families.
