Do you have a lucky number? We recommend the number 8 because Chinese numerology says that people who love to travel should adopt the number because it’s associated with folks who crave exploring and love discovering new things. Does that sound like you? Make Belize your next adventure. Experts recommend 8 days, especially if you do what the wealthy do and stay on an island: Check into the adults-only Coco Plum Island Resort, where this itinerary can be yours.
Day 1: Arrive at Belize’s international airport and catch a commuter plane for the short flight to Dangriga, where you’ll be met by a Coco Plum staffer and taken to the boat that gets you to the island (both are included in the price of your All Inclusive Snorkel Package). Enjoy a Mosquito Bite cocktail on the house while you unpack and get the lay of the land.
Day 2: Get wet! Choose from island-based activities that help you adjust to the pace, like strolling the island’s perimeter, using the swimming pool, and taking out the complimentary Hobie Cat Wave, kayaks, or stand-up paddleboards. Want more? Schedule a scuba dive to enhance your stay.
Day 3: Having adjusted to island time, you may be curious about Belize’s rich culture. Satisfy that urge by selecting any of the cultural tours listed on this website page. You’re going to fall in love with the art, music, and food almost as much as you love the people you meet.
Day 4: No visit to Belize is complete without visiting one of the nation’s 900 Maya temples. Take the Xunantunich Maya Tour and plan to be amazed. If you love climbing, go to the top of El Castillo where awe-inspiring panorama views include both Belize and Guatemala.
Day 5: Give your body the gift it craves after staying active: Spend time at the Serenity Spa where masseuses practice their magic in the open air and where yoga fans find bliss on the open-air, seaside yoga deck. No need to lug gear since mats are complimentary.
Day 6: Go fishing. Choose from deep sea, fly, or trolling options guaranteed to make fishing buddies green with envy. Bring your gear and flies. Your photos will prove your skill and good fortune, and Ms. Jude, Coco Plum’s culinary whiz, will prepare your catch for dinner.
Day 7: By now, you’ve probably realized that there was one experience that was so compelling, you want to do it again, so make this the day you do that, or get in your last snorkel.
Day 8: You’ll hate saying goodbye, but the world awaits your return, so plan to get in a last swim before you begin your journey back to reality via boat and air. And if time allows, there’s no better time to book your return visit as you say goodbye to your newfound friends!
