Summer in Belize is one of the best-kept secrets in the Caribbean
While many travelers only think of the "high season" during winter, the summer months offer a unique blend of vibrant local culture and incredible value. At M&B Luxury Rentals, we find that guests who visit during the summer often experience a more authentic side of the island.
Here is why you should consider a summer escape to Ambergris Caye.
The Celebration of Lobster Season
The official start of the Belize Lobster Season begins on July 1st. This is a time of major celebration across San Pedro and Caye Caulker. You can enjoy the famous Lobster Festivals where local chefs create incredible dishes ranging from grilled lobster tails to savory lobster ceviche. Staying in a private villa with a gourmet kitchen allows you to bring the fresh catch of the day home for an "Ocean to Table" feast prepared by one of our private chefs.
Incredible Value and Availability
The summer months often provide the best value for luxury accommodations. Because this is considered the "slow season" by traditional standards, you have the opportunity to secure our most sought after villas at lower seasonal rates. This is the perfect time to book that five bedroom villa with the private pool for a family reunion or a group getaway. You will also find that popular restaurants and excursions are much easier to book without the winter crowds.
Perfect Water for Diving and Snorkeling
While the air is warm, the water is even better. During the summer, the Caribbean Sea is incredibly calm and clear. This provides optimal visibility for exploring the Belize Barrier Reef. Whether you are taking our exclusive boat shuttle to the west side of the island or heading out for a day of diving at the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, the water conditions are often at their peak during these months.
A Relaxed Island Pace
There is a distinct "Slow Travel" energy that takes over San Pedro in the summer. The atmosphere is more relaxed, the streets are quieter, and the local rhythm is easier to catch. It is the perfect time for long-distance cycling through the village or slow mornings on your veranda with a view of the canals.
If you are looking for a vacation that combines world-class events like Lobster Fest with the tranquility of a private sanctuary, summer in Belize is calling.
