Sometimes, there’s nothing quite as calming as cool shades of blue – especially when it comes in the form of shimmering seas and wide open oceans. The editors at travel publication Travel + Leisure agree, noting that “sometimes, all it takes to re-center and refresh your mind and body is a good day (or week — who are we to limit you) of staring off into a tranquil blue sea.”
To make the life of every aquaphile and thalassophile with a case of wanderlust easier, they put together a list of travel suggestions for where to enjoy tranquil turquoises and soothing sapphires. The list features a collection of 13 places in the world that are home to the bluest water, and Belize made the cut. Here’s what T+L had to say about Belize’s blue seas.

Needless to say, they are the perfect places to reconnect with nature, family, and yourself.

A short boat ride from the largest barrier reef outside of Australia, Belize’s Ambergris Caye is a scuba diver’s and snorkeler’s paradise. Head to Shark Ray Alley to snorkel among nurse sharks and stingrays; visit Hol Chan Marine Reserve to get up close with eels, turtles, and colorful fish; or explore the underwater caves of Blue Hole.
