Most visitors to Belize head straight for Ambergris Caye, the country�s largest and most touristed island. While no one would call Ambergris frenetic, an even mellower alternative is Cayo Espanto, a private island less than three miles away, where guests can paddle from open-air bedrooms toward the Western Hemisphere�s biggest barrier reef (villas from $1,295, including meals; aprivateisland.com). Other seaside pursuits include snorkeling, sailing, bonefishing, and excursions to Ambergris, whose funky shops and eateries are within a seven-minute boat ride. But chances are Espanto�s solitude will grow on you—as will its stable of award-winning chefs, who prepare local dishes whenever and wherever you�d like. Creole lobster under the stars, anyone? |
