Luxury holidays in Ambergris Caye
Ringed by the emerald waters that wash over this stretch of the Mesoamerican Reef, Ambergris Caye is known for its Caribbean coastline, flourishing foodie scene and lack of pavements. Once a small fishing town, San Pedro is the island’s bustling hub, where golf buggies and barefoot strollers mingle together on the sandy streets. From the beach, you’ll be able to see the surf breaking over the barrier reef, which offers some of the best diving and snorkelling in Central America. Inland, things are lusher and greener, with tropical forests providing plenty of cover for exotic birds.
When to go
The best time to visit is from late November to April, when the weather tends to be warm and dry. If you’re hoping for cheaper rates and fewer crowds, try May or June, when the rainy season is starting but not in full swing.
