Let Laru Beya Resort Be Your Jumping Off Point for Adventure in Belize

The great novelist Paulo Coelho once said, “If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine; it’s lethal.” And we’re sure most adventure travelers would agree. The joy that comes with experiencing new things, chasing thrills, and simply answering the call to adventure is unmatched. And in Belize, with half of its mainland covered in lush forests, over a dozen ancient Maya cities, and hundreds of caves, adventure is always calling. The best part? Depending on where you are in the country, it doesn’t take much to explore everything from reef to rainforest. On the coast of Belize, one resort is offering all the right tours for the intrepid adventurer hoping to see it all. Here’s how Laru Beya Resort can be your jumping off point for adventure in Belize.

A Beautiful Stay On the Beach (and Then Some)

Belize’s Placencia Peninsula is known for its long stretches (about 16 miles in total) of pristine sandy beaches. And quite fittingly, Laru Beya Resort’s namesake is the Garifuna phrase meaning “on the beach“. This idyllic destination on the coast of Southern Belize, however, is much more than a popular beach vacation destination. Historic villages, national parks, fishing havens, maya sites and more all lie under two hours away.  This makes answering the call to adventure in Belize pretty hassle-free.

Whether you’re hoping to travel back in time at Belize’s maya sites or snorkel the world’s second longest barrier reef, seeing the best of Belize has never been easier.
