For a seasoned traveler with discriminating tastes, finding a destination vacation experience that truly satisfies is harder than it seems. Luxury, beauty, service, and fine dining are necessary, of course … but not sufficient. For true indulgence without excess, the essential additional components are this: absolute privacy and complete customization.
The tropical paradise island resort of Royal Belize offers each and every guest party, from as small as one to a family gathering, exclusive access to Royal Belize and all that it has to offer for the duration of their stays. The only other presence on the island, apart from the occasional sand crab or tropical bird, is in the form of Royal Belize’s dedicated concierge and staff that can be as discreet or as visible as guests prefer. Even the crew of the private catamaran available by special arrangement is on call, but never on island.
Every aspect of the Royal Belize experience is customized to suit each party’s desires. A personal chef is selected even before guests arrive, to ensure that their preferences are accommodated to a “T”. There are three means of traveling to the island itself—including by helicopter. Three contemporary Caribbean villas are available for guests’ enjoyment, each of them unique and complete with spectacular views, air-conditioned bedrooms, king-sized beds, custom-stocked refrigerators, plush armchairs, tea tables, vanities, and more.
Meals may be taken anywhere, from a villa’s private dock to the Grand Palapa, with its open air lounge/dining room sheltered by an enormous thatched roof. Indeed, the Royal Belize concierge takes great pleasure in setting the scene by creating backdrops for everything from intimate meals to beach parties, complete with tiki torches and table settings. And dining times are at guests’ discretion as well; even midnight snacks are on offer, and in abundance.
As for activities, they can range from lounging like a lizard to all-watersports, all-day; from enjoying the range of beach toys on offer, including kayaks and a WaveRunner, to reveling in the fully loaded iPod Touch with video library, personal stereo, or WiFi access. Off island activities include diving Belize’s Barrier Reef, cruising the Caribbean Sea on an optionally available chartered and crewed luxury yacht, taking a helicopter hop to the Mayan ruins at Xunantunich, relaxing during a chauffeured van ride to Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary & Jaguar Preserve, and cruising down nearby Sittee River to Butterflies Spa on the beach.
From accommodations, to food, to wine and spirits, to use of all of the island’s facilities and toys, there is no extra charge, while off-island activities and transportation and associated fees are arranged efficiently and economically by Royal Belize’s personal concierge.
