Destination Weddings Are Back In A Big Way: Do It On The Beach in Belize

by Carolee Chanona

Every couple has dreams of walking hand-in-hand along a perfect paradise of a beach, feeling the soft sand between their toes as the nearby ocean sets the tone for romance. It’s also why Belize won Silver for Travvy Award 2022 edition’s Best Wedding Destination – Central & South America. And this year, destination weddings are back and doing it big in places like Belize, with the global market estimated to reach a whopping $64.01 billion in 2026, with one in every four couples now opting for a wedding location far from home. If you’ve got your eye on Belize, we have a feeling that Victoria House Resort & Spa will sway you here— as will its Travel & Leisure’s 2022 World’s Best Awards for #8 Resort in Central America.

Award Winning, For A Reason

With a backdrop of white sand beaches, the world’s second-largest reef in the distance, and a true white-sand beach, Belize is about as idyllic as it gets. From first-class accommodations and catering services to all the finer details that will make your celebration uniquely yours, Victoria House prides itself on taking care of everything – all you need to do is arrive on Ambergris Caye. Just down the Caribbean coast from the Yucatán lies English-speaking Belize, found a mere 5-hour flight from NYC or 2 hours from MIA.

Chances are you’ve already nailed down the when, the what, and now, the where–which means it’s time to get into the real fun stuff, like what you’ll do with your closest friends and family post-ceremony in Belize. That’s because your destination wedding in Belize is more than just a ceremony – it’s memories shared that’ll always remind you of the happiest day of your life. And since Victoria House has more than 40 years of experience, beyond just in romance, that’s less of a hope and more of a promise.

From paddleboarding to kitesurfing, hiking, scuba diving, snorkeling, and more, Ambergris Caye is Belize’s number one most-visited destination for a reason. Sure, it’s a bit busier than your typical island buzz thanks to zipping golf carts and beach bars that spill out on every corner, but it’s an addictive allure. After all, Victoria House is two miles south of San Pedro Town, which comfortably feels like a small world away from the center of the 25-mile-long isle.

If you stick to the coastline, the days ahead to bask in wedded bliss can be boundless. Think sunset cruises on catamarans, snorkeling alongside docile nurse sharks and spotted eagle rays, or even marveling from above the Great Blue Hole with an aerial tour. All in all, the sky’s the limit for destination weddings in Belize – planned by your very own complimentary wedding planner onsite at Victoria House Resort & Spa. You can also choose to work with ROEming Belize, a local travel agency, that can provide personalised assistance and expertise in organising travel arrangements for your wedding guests, ensuring an stress-free and seamless experience.
