Margaritaville Beach Resort Ambergris Caye, Belize officially opened its doors the week of 15MAR, 2023, welcoming its first guests to the secluded, sustainable, family-friendly hideaway just north of San Pedro and steps away from a beach that’s home to the second largest coral reef in the world.
The beach resort offers activities and experiences, spacious accommodations, island-inspired dining options, and more.
"We are thrilled to welcome our first guests to Margaritaville Beach Resort Ambergris Caye," said Daniel Lozano, Vice President of Operations at Karisma Hotels & Resorts. "This family-friendly, sustainable resort invites guests to immerse themselves in a beautiful off-the-beaten-path destination while still enjoying a luxury vacation experience."
After reaching the resort by private boat shuttle, guests can recharge in the Victorian-inspired open-air lobby, margarita in hand; indulge in services at what Karisma is calling the best spa on the island; or enjoy dips in two lagoon-like pools — one oceanfront and one exclusively for families — and fill every moment with live music and entertainment.
Grand Opening rates begin at USD $285/night and can be booked now through 15APR 2023 for travel through 02JAN 2024.
“We’re excited to welcome Margaritaville Beach Resort Ambergris Caye to our portfolio,” said Shamim Lodin, Executive Director of Development at Margaritaville Hotels & Resorts, while on property. “We can’t wait to introduce more guests to the untapped beauty of Belize and endless adventures that await at the resort.”
