On the tranquil southern shores of Ambergris Caye, where the Caribbean glimmers in shades of turquoise and the pace of life softens to a gentle rhythm, a remarkable transformation is quietly unfolding. Villa Abrazos, one of Belize’s most distinctive private villa experiences, is under refreshed management—bringing renewed vision, elevated service, and a refined guest experience to one of the island’s most architecturally striking properties.
For travelers who believe luxury should feel personal, not performative, Villa Abrazos offers something rare: the intimacy of a private residence paired with the thoughtful details of a boutique resort.
A Villa Unlike Anything Else in Belize
Spread across more than 20,000 square feet, Villa Abrazos is a six-suite beachfront sanctuary that blends local Belizean craftsmanship with European minimalist design. Every space is intentional. Hand-selected art from around the world, natural textures, soaring ceilings, and sculptural architectural elements create an atmosphere that feels both grounding and inspiring.
Each suite is no less than 1,300 square feet, complete with expansive living areas, spa-style bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling windows that invite the outside in. It’s not simply accommodation—it’s a private world designed for rest, creativity, and connection.
Elevated Hospitality, Reimagined
Under its new management, Villa Abrazos is embracing a renewed focus on guest experience—refining service standards, enhancing culinary offerings, and curating personalized stays tailored to each traveler.
The villa’s culinary program is led by internationally trained chefs who bring global technique to the vibrant flavors of the Caribbean. Fresh ingredients sourced locally and seasonally shape menus that are both refined and soulful, whether enjoyed in the dining room, poolside, or in the privacy of a suite.
Wellness is equally central to the Abrazos experience. Guests can unwind in the spa, recharge in the fitness studio, or simply relax beside the pool with the sea breeze as their soundtrack. For those drawn to adventure, the Belize Barrier Reef—just offshore—offers some of the best snorkeling, diving, and fishing in the Caribbean.
A Sister Property with a Proven Reputation
Villa Abrazos now shares management expertise with Xanadu Island Resort, a long-established and beloved property also located on Ambergris Caye. Known for its loyal following, consistent service standards, and strong guest satisfaction, Xanadu brings operational insight and hospitality experience that strengthens Abrazos’ next chapter.
Together, the two properties offer travelers distinctly different, yet complementary experiences—Xanadu’s relaxed tropical charm and Abrazos’ elevated private-villa luxury—both rooted in authentic Belizean warmth.
A Destination Worth Rediscovering
Ambergris Caye has long been considered Belize’s crown jewel, celebrated for its laid-back island culture, welcoming community, and immediate access to the world-renowned Belize Barrier Reef. Yet Villa Abrazos offers something even rarer: the feeling of having a slice of this paradise almost entirely to yourself.
With its renewed direction, refreshed energy, and commitment to excellence, Villa Abrazos is not simply reopening its doors—it’s reintroducing itself as one of the Caribbean’s most compelling private luxury escapes.
