Luxurious, yet understated; an untouched island paradise
Amaya’s location
With mainland Belize less than fifteen minutes’ boat ride away, Amaya is the perfect tropical haven.
Secluded enough to truly escape and relax, but close enough to enjoy all the restaurants, shops and amenities that mainland Belize has to offer. From day trips to Mayan ruins, to uncovering natural wonders in the luscious rainforests – experience the very best of Belize here on your doorstep.
Only a short 15-minute boat ride to some of the world’s best diving, Amaya is perfectly located to enjoy impressive scuba diving sites in Belize, including the famous Blue Hole and the main Barrier Reef.
An experience unique to Belize, dive with turtles, rays and encounter huge schools of spawning fish, all at the same time. If you’re staying here with us during the spring, you may also be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the truly majestic whale shark migration!
Far enough away to truly escape and relax … close enough to the mainland for restaurants, shops and amenities … or day trips to Mayan ruins, waterfalls and rainforests.
Caring, protecting and enhancing our surroundings for future generations…
For a small country Belize is big on the environment. More than a third of the country is protected, which has helped to preserve its incredible biodiversity; both on land and under the sea.
Beneath the iconic turquoise Caribbean waters lie myriads of exotic, beautiful and healthy corals, alongside an abundance of marine life – including turtles, fish, dolphins, manatees and many more!
Amaya will be cherished in its natural state, with conservation programs to maintain its immense inland forest, its thriving mangroves and the living coral reef surrounding its shoreline. The rainwater here is also harvested, whilst all power comes directly from the sun, thanks to the latest technologies in renewable energy.
Why Belize?
Belize is a safe and stable country, where English is the first language, freehold title and ownership is granted on all property, and the legal system is based on that of English common law.
Belize offers many financial benefits, including no inheritance or capital gains taxes. The property taxes are much lower than that of North America and much of Europe, and there is an excellent retirement program open to anyone over 45 years. You only need to spend one month per year in Belize before being permitted to import all of your belongings – including a boat or a plane – back to your home, tax free.
