Since the recent arrival of several worldwide hotel brands, Belize real estate has quickly become one of the hottest markets in the Caribbean. Tourism arrivals have consistently been on the rise since 2015 and international air carriers have opened many new convenient routes to travel to Belize.
Belize is unique because it enjoys a shared identity with both Central America and the Caribbean. Located in Central America, Belize is bordered to the north by Mexico, to the south and west by Guatemala, and to the east by the Caribbean Sea.
