Hotel at a Glance: El Secreto
El Secreto, an intimate, eco-friendly beachfront resort on Ambergris Caye off the coast of mainland Belize, has racked up a slew of awards since it opened in 2012. A writer in Islands magazine praises it as a "luxury jungle," while Fodor's even named it one of the world's top 100 hotels, and Trip Advisor issued the resort a Certificate of Excellence this year. The boutique hotel is purposely tucked away—hence its name—and with only 13 thatched-roof villas on the property, guests will never feel lost in the shuffle.
- Wake up to a glass of freshly squeezed watermelon juice waiting outside your door.
- Tropical villas come with the works: a private outdoor jacuzzi, hammock, king-size bed, air-conditioning, iPod docking station, TV, minibar, outdoor shower, Malin + Goetz toiletries, WiFi, and coffeemaker.
- Oceanfront restaurant: Chef Lucia Hoare crafts breakfast, lunch, and dinner at El Secreto Restaurant, which offers a range of Belizean and American dishes.
- Eco adventures: Sign up for a full-day scuba-diving trip to the Great Blue Hole, an underwater cavern along a coral reef. Other excursions include exploring ancient Mayan ruins and helicopter rides.
- Treat yourself to a hot seashell or bamboo massage at the onsite spa
Ambergris Caye, Belize: Small Island near World’s Second-Largest Barrier Reef
Recognized by Travel + Leisure magazine as one of the World’s Best Islands, Ambergris Caye sits just off the northeastern coast of mainland Belize. By law, none of the island's buildings can be taller than the highest coco palm, which helps create a serene, unspoiled vibe. The entire island is only about 25 miles long and 1 mile wide, but its varied ecosystems range from low sand ridges to lagoons and mangrove swamps.
Hop aboard a speedboat or glass-bottom boat to reach the Belize Barrier Reef, which lies about 10 minutes away. It's part of the second-longest barrier reef in the world and was designated an UNESCO World Heritage Site for its biological diversity. The reef shelters a remarkable variety of sea life, including nearly 500 species of fish and rare, massive West Indian manatees that can reach the size of a compact car.
