If you know anything about the diversity of landscape, charm, and variety of locations that make the nation of Belize a unique destination, you may also understand why folks who refuse to vacation elsewhere in Central America find within the nation exactly the sojourn they seek. Whether your passion is water sports along the Caribbean coastline – or your idea of beach heaven is comprised of beach lounge footsteps from the surf –Ambergris Caye’s reputation for being all things to all people remains secure. While Ambergris Caye has achieved plenty of notoriety for being the place to party, see, and be seen, it is also home to communities, hotels, inns, and resorts dedicated to relaxation and revitalization. For travelers seeking the ultimate in pampering, no location surpasses Victoria House Resort & Spa, a property so lavishly landscaped, that it’s easy to imagine what Eden looked like.

What makes Victoria House the first choice for couples, singles, girlfriend escapes and so much more? This is a haven; a place of peace and tranquility addressing the desires of couples for sublime privacy and intimacy other properties lack while offering a spa experience that has no equal on the caye. If you’ve been there, you get it. If you haven’t, what are you waiting for?
More than just a spa
Situated in the charming town of San Pedro, guests seeking their fill of nightlife can go into town when the urge strikes, but the contrast between town and the quiet nature of Victoria House is dramatic. It’s the ultimate “get away from it all” destination offering accommodations that perfectly suit parties of all sizes, from staterooms, casitas, palmetto rooms, and suites to villas. Each is tastefully decorated to reflect Belize’s Caribbean vibe and access to the beach from all of these digs is footsteps away.
Everything about Victoria House feels intimate and secluded, yet there is no shortage of amenities. Among them are the world-class Palmilla Restaurant, Admiral Nelson’s Beach Bar, dive shop, and poolside patio. The resort’s onsite tour desk gives guests access to Maya ruins, jungles, waterfalls, zip lining, and caving expeditions–while the beautifully-maintained private beach and languid outdoor infinity pool are all that guests who don’t care about tours require. What do visitors rave about most often? The stunning public gardens that distinguish Victoria House from the ordinary in a nation where all gardens are spectacular.
Achieve your relaxation goal while saving money, too
While tours of the natural wonders that set Belize apart from other Central American nations bring plenty of international tourists to Victoria House, the property’s spa experience is the jewel in the resort’s crown. If your regular spa experiences have been relegated to small treatment rooms with no views, this one could leave you speechless.
