Belize has officially reopened its borders for international tourism.
The sought-after destination on the Caribbean coast of Central America has begun welcoming back travelers to its Philip Goldson International Airport as part of the third phase of the country’s five-phase travel reopening plan.
A number of major carriers have already resumed flights to the country, including American Airlines out of Miami and United Airlines out of Houston. Delta will be resuming Atlanta-Belize flights.
So what about the travel protocols?
Most crucially, all travelers to Belize must present proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test within 72 hours of travel.
They must also download the Belize Health App and completed the required questionnaire.
All visitors will undergo a health screening and test verification process upon arrival.
Those with a verified negative COVID-19 PCR test result can proceed to immigration and customs and then to their hotel.
Those who do not have a test must take an immediate test at the airport, and will be placed into quarantine at their hotel until receiving clearance from the Ministry of Health. (You can find more on the travel protocols JESS@FriendsTravel.com
The initial reopening phase will center around the Belize “Safe Corridor,” which will include hotels, restaurants and tour operators that have been approved by the Belize Tourism Board’s “Gold Standard” recognition, a nine-point program of safety protocols.
All travelers will have to check in on the Belize Health app daily. If they report symptoms, they will have to be tested again; those who test positive will be placed into quarantine.
“We’re confident the Tourism Gold Standard Recognition Program and Gold Standard Seal of Approval will allow travelers and the tourism industry to operate safely as COVID-19 restrictions are eased,” said Belize Tourism Board Director of Tourism, Karen Bevans. “While visitors will need to adhere to our ‘new normal’ entry requirements and safety protocols, their experience will remain authentic to Belize’s adventurous spirit.”

More than 130 accommodations have already been approved as “safe corridor” accommodations, according to the Belize Tourism Board.

Why Stay At Grand Colony Island Villas?
Luxurious island villas fronting a white-sand beach on picturesque #AmbergrisCaye.
The Scoop
Grand Colony Island Villas are nestled along a tranquil private beachfront affording prime views of the Caribbean. Amply spaced (the smallest rings in at 1,100 square feet) one-, two- and three-bedroom residences group around a free-form pool in the center of the resort. All air-conditioned units are smartly appointed with marble or hardwood floors and mahogany furniture. Sprawl out across the living and dining areas, full kitchens, two full baths with Jacuzzi and private furnished balconies. Modern amenities like 42-inch flat-screen TVs, DVD players and Wi-Fi Internet access cater to tech-savvy beach bums. Contrast adventurous island exploration with an afternoon of languid pampering at the day spa, which specializes in soothing body treatments like Hot Stone and Thai massages. Fine dining is just a quick stroll away: Rico’s Bar and Grill boasts an overwater location and delectable island-style surf-and-turf cuisine. Sit back on the deck to savor colorful sunsets and a tropical rum punch or two après dinner.
Insider Tips
We arrange for a complimentary transfer from San Pedro Airport to Grand Colony Island Villas before your arrival.
Go fishing: Expert angling guides pick you up at the resort’s dock and introduce you to the best spots teeming with Tarpon, Grouper, Snapper and Permit.

El Pescador Ambergris Caye Belize JESS Kalinowsky Friends Travel LLP

Bought sight unseen by a California doctor in 1972, the site of El Pescador enjoys some covetable sandy shores on Ambergris Caye, off the coast of Belize. Located just a few miles north of the isle’s busy tourist town of San Pedro, the resort is made up of a two-story mahogany colonial lodge and three-bedroom, three-bath luxury villas. The attention to detail is a far cry from Belize’s typically uninspired hotels: hardwood floors, handcrafted furniture, bamboo accents, and local art on the walls.

Belize Travel Guide JESS Kalinowsky Friends Travel LLP
Belize Travel Guide
About the same size as Wales, Belize rests on the Caribbean coast between Mexico and Guatemala: an exotic, English-speaking, adventurer’s paradise, just a couple of hours away from three major United States cities. Almost half the country has been preserved as nature parks and reserves, including tropical forests teeming with wildlife and hiding mysterious Mayan ruins, and 174 miles (280km) of coastline featuring the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere.
The reef and the country’s numerous offshore cayes, or atolls, have made this one of the world’s most desirable destinations for scuba divers and marine researchers. They come to explore unique features like the famous ‘Blue Hole’, a collapsed submerged cave 1,000 feet (305m) in diameter and 412 feet (126m) deep.
Archaeologically Belize is fascinating too, having been the site of mighty Mayan cities from around 1,000 BC until the inexplicable disintegration of that great civilisation around 900 AD. There are believed to be thousands of Mayan ruins in Belize, of which about 600 have been discovered and excavated, many now open to tourists.
Like most Caribbean countries Belize was occupied by British and Spanish colonialists over the centuries before gaining independence (only lately recognised by neighbouring Guatemala which laid claim to the territory) in 1981. Today it is a happy-go-lucky multi-ethnic nation of warm, friendly people, very welcoming of the tourists on whom the country’s economy relies heavily.
The main urban city (although not the capital) is Belize City, which offers some attractions like a world-class zoo, a new museum, historic buildings and the Maya site of Altun Ha. Basically, though, Belize is a destination for the outdoor enthusiast and adventure traveller. There are not many nightclubs, expensive shopping venues or fancy restaurants, but there is plenty of scope for diving, snorkelling, fishing, hiking, birdwatching, kayaking and exploring.
