Emerging from the waves just off the coast of Belize, Cayo Espanto is the ultimate private retreat. This private island, surrounded by shallow, crystal clear waters, is a place of great beauty and tranquility, so much so that it has been named one of the world’s top romantic destinations.
The tiny island looks like one of those remote patches of land sailors would encounter after a shipwreck – at least, it would look, if it wasn’t for the seven luxurious villas strewn along the shore. In fact, despite the island’s size, the accommodations are placed in such a way that you might not ever encounter someone else during your entire time there, allowing you to enjoy your stay as if you and your significant other had the whole place to yourselves.
Well, not entirely. You’ll also have a personal butler and other staff members nearby, who will, with the utmost discretion, see to it that all your needs are taken care of. World-class Chef Patrick Houghton is also there to make sure you’re only getting the best dishes possible, with a new menu created daily in following a survey you fill out before arriving on the island.
When not relaxing and enjoying the wonderfully serene atmosphere, guests can go snorkeling or scuba diving (at the same time exploring the world’s second largest barrier reef!), or even travel to the mainland to discover the wonders of Belize. All of this certainly makes Cayo Espanto a worthwhile place to consider when planning a trip to Central America or the Caribbean – you could hardly ask for a better spot if you want a quiet, peaceful, and romantic holiday.
