It's a New Era of Opportunity Today in Belize—and We’ll Show You How to Maximize It
Belize is embarking on an exciting new chapter, transforming it into more than just a haven for retirees or a holiday destination. The significant revamping of the established “Caribbean Retirement Program” is paving the way for a myriad of fresh opportunities, spanning from real estate ventures to business startups, and enhancing lifestyle choices.
This evolution is capturing widespread attention. Major players in the hospitality industry, including hotel conglomerates and cruise operators, are now focusing on Belize. Notably, Marriott and Four Seasons have debuted their first resorts in the region, signaling a significant uptick in tourism.
Renowned personalities such as Tiger Woods, Charlize Theron, Leonardo DiCaprio,
Harrison Ford, and Francis Ford Coppola
have all been drawn to Belize, either as visitors or property owners.
This attraction is hardly surprising, given the remarkably affordable
property prices in Belize, especially when contrasted with other
Caribbean destinations boasting similar pristine white beaches and crystal-clear waters.
Own land like this for just $45,000
Even in the sought-after, high-end islands, where finding a deal is usually challenging, you can secure a beachfront condominium for under $200,000.
While some properties in this locale are listed in the millions, you don't need to invest nearly that much to claim your own piece of Caribbean paradise.
Additionally, the financial benefits are noteworthy: there is no capital gains tax, and property taxes range only from 0.75% to 2% of your property's value!
JetBlue has recently joined the roster of major airlines offering flights to Belize. Last month, they commenced direct flights from JFK starting at just $112.
Connectivity to Mexico and Central America is also on the rise, with enhanced travel options including new luxury bus lines and expanded services from Maya and Tropic Air.
Belize's status as a burgeoning country opens doors for various business ventures.
There's a growing consensus that the present moment is ideal for engaging with Belize, be it for investment, a visit, or retirement. Over time, it's conceivable that Belize might reach the exclusivity and high cost of Caribbean counterparts like the Bahamas or the Virgin Islands.
However, currently, the value is exceptional... A couple can live comfortably in Belize on a budget of less than $2,000 per month. The year 2024 stands out as an opportune time to seize your Caribbean dream.
At Secret Beach Homes and Land, we are your eyes and ears in Belize .
We have our finger on the pulse of the latest developments. Our goal is to assist you in capitalizing on this opportunity, when you decide to engage with us...

No Need To Bundle Up
If you're seeking a break from the daily grind, envisioning your days filled with leisurely activities like sailing, fishing, and casual chats over a refreshing $2 beer in a beachside hut, then the relaxed atmosphere of Belize is perfect for you. Enjoy year-round tropical sunshine in this serene haven.
The climate is delightful, with temperatures ranging from a pleasant 70 degrees to around 90, complemented by a refreshing Caribbean breeze. This natural cooling system allows for a comfortable indoor/outdoor lifestyle where air conditioning is often unnecessary.
Easy, Accessible, and Wide-Open for Opportunity
Your transition—full- or part-time—is easy, thanks to the great advantages Belize offers…
Easier to get to than ever. Catch a direct flight from many North American cities in 2-5 hours. Fly from JFK after 9am and you’ll land in Belize around noon—in plenty of time for that lobster grilled cheese I mentioned!
No need to learn a new language. Belize is the only English-speaking country in Central America
No complicated conversions. The currency is fixed 2:1 to the US dollar (and US dollars are accepted everywhere)
Familiar legal system. Belize has a similar system to the UK. It’s strong, and easy to navigate (especially since everything is in English)—making it straightforward to do business or buy property.
You can own property outright. No long leasehold involved. You have the same ownership rights as Belizeans.
It's tiny. Smaller than Massachusetts, so it's easy to get around.
Less than 380,000 people live in the entire country…no crowds to contend with
Welcoming, friendly Belizeans and expat communities (we know where they are)
Recent revisions have made it possible for those aged 39 and above, with a steady passive income of $2,000 per month, to qualify. This income can originate from diverse sources, including social security, the equity of your property, inherited funds, income from a reverse mortgage, personal savings, or any similar financial streams.
In addition, the updated policy now enables individuals to invest in and manage businesses in Belize. This distinctive aspect facilitates the possibility of earning income locally during your residency, a feature that distinguishes it from most other retirement visa schemes, which usually prohibit earning in the host country. Belize, however, has embraced this innovative approach.
Take Advantage of Belize’s Upgraded Retiree Program—Arguably the Easiest Retirement Visa in the World
Gaining long-term residency in Belize just got easier.
You see, Belize has a program—officially called the Qualified Retiree Program (QRP). But we call it the “Caribbean Dream Retirement” Program. That’s because you don’t have to be of retiree age to qualify. Nor do you have to be retired!
With the latest policy changes, anyone over 39 years old showing a consistent monthly passive income of $2,000 now qualifies. This financial support can come from a variety of sources, including but not limited to social security, home equity, an inheritance, funds from a reverse mortgage, personal savings, or any similar type of revenue.
Additionally, the newly modified scheme now allows for both investment in and the operation of businesses on Belizean soil. This distinctive element offers the chance to generate income within the country during your stay, an aspect quite rare as the majority of retirement visa schemes elsewhere typically do not permit local income generation. Belize, in this respect, has introduced this unique opportunity.
Additionally, the requirement is just to spend one month annually in the country to maintain your status. This offers you the liberty and versatility to travel at your convenience. Essentially, this translates to preserving your residency simply by enjoying a month-long vacation in the Caribbean every year!
In my view, this positions it as the most recent and approachable retirement program globally. During our live seminar titled "Belize Now: A New Era of Opportunity for Expats in This Easy-Going, Affordable Caribbean Haven," we delve deeper into the advantages of the "Caribbean Dream Retirement" Program. This includes importing your personal items, vehicles, cars, boats, and more without any customs duties.
You'll receive comprehensive guidance on how to meet the eligibility criteria, the necessary steps, the required documentation, application fees, and the overall timeframe...
All the details are clearly outlined for your convenience. And here's the most exciting part: members of the "Caribbean Dream Retirement" program are exempt from paying taxes on income earned outside of Belize.
Belize Beckons: Enjoy tropical living and tax savings
It’s not news that Belize is a tax haven. The country has one of the most convenient tax systems in the world. You can enjoy benefits like:
No capital gains tax.
Low property taxes for full-time residents.
Low Income taxes
Essentially, this allows you to retain a larger portion of your income while residing in the country. When it comes to preserving your wealth during retirement, Belize offers benefits that are hard to match elsewhere.
Alternatively, if you choose not to participate in this fantastic retiree program, you can opt for the standard tourist visa issued upon arrival. This can be renewed every 30 days right within the country, a convenience not commonly found elsewhere where you might need to exit and re-enter for visa renewal. In Belize, a simple visit to a local government office will suffice to get your visa extended.
However, if early retirement, duty-free import of goods, or business investment in Belize interests you, then the "Caribbean Dream Retirement" Program is worth considering. Our online seminar, "Belize Now: A New Era of Opportunity for Expats in This Easy-Going, Affordable Caribbean Haven," is designed to provide all the necessary information. This seminar is an invaluable resource for understanding which visa option is the most suitable for your needs.
Choose Your Paradise
For such a small country, Belize is remarkably diverse. There are so many areas to choose from—each offering their own vibe, costs and amenities.
You’ll have the choice of dozens of stunning natural sites, offering countless opportunities for exploration and adventure.
You’ll find outdoor activities pretty much everywhere. Enjoy snorkeling, diving, caving, ziplining, kayaking and more. You can even soar through the jungle on a thrilling zip-line tour.
We’ll cover all of these—and more—in the online seminar Belize Now: A New Era of Opportunity for Expats in This Laidback, Low-Cost Caribbean Paradise.
Ambergris Caye—the Most Popular Island
Pelicans swoop to pluck minnows from the sea. Herons dot expansive, picture-perfect beaches.
Seahorses cluster around mangroves near the island’s pier—from which daily fishing charters, snorkeling, and diving tours depart to the nearby coral Barrier Reef.
If you’re a scuba diver, Ambergris Caye needs to be on your bucket list. The island is only 45 miles away from the Great Blue Hole, which is the 407-foot-deep sinkhole in the ocean made famous by the legendary Jacques Cousteau. He named it one of the top dive sites in the world.
San Pedro—the South Beach of Belize
is the party capital of Ambergris. It’s probably the most popular tourist destination in Belize, so you’ll find plenty of shops, bars, restaurants and live entertainment. Costs are a little higher here than in other parts of the country.
The existing community of expatriates often gathers for activities like Rotary Club meetings, cribbage, darts, among others. Needless to say, there's an extensive array of aquatic activities to choose from.
Moreover, it's important to note that while the area is lively, there are also plenty of serene, secluded spots where you can unwind and rejuvenate away from the hustle and bustle.
Secret Beach – the Perfect Beach Paradise
Secret Beach, a hidden gem in Ambergris Caye, Belize, is a sanctuary for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. This breathtaking beachfront area is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and pristine sandy shores, offering a serene escape from the bustling world.
Secret Beach is surrounded by vibrant marine life, including playful dolphins, graceful rays, and an abundance of tropical fish that thrive among the coral reefs. These waters are a paradise for snorkelers and divers, who come to explore the underwater wonders and the vivid coral formations.
The beach is also a gateway to some of Belize's most fascinating wildlife. Just a short distance inland, visitors can encounter an array of exotic animals such as colorful toucans, majestic eagles, and even the elusive jaguar prowling in the lush jungles.
As the sun sets, the sky over Secret Beach transforms into a spectacular canvas of colors, offering breathtaking sunsets that are truly unforgettable. Under the moonlight, the beach becomes a tranquil haven, perfect for romantic strolls or peaceful reflection.
In Secret Beach, every moment is an opportunity to connect with nature and experience the unspoiled beauty of Ambergris Caye.
Grab Your Piece of Paradise Before Prices Skyrocket
However, the currently affordable prices in this area are likely to increase shortly. Ongoing development and significant enhancements in infrastructure are set to improve accessibility, which will undoubtedly attract more people to this peaceful haven.
In addition to the infrastructural improvements, there's a concerted effort by the government to boost healthcare services across the country. New medical facilities are being established in major towns, including Placencia, Belmopan, Toledo, and others. Moreover, as previously noted, luxury hotel chains such as Marriott and the Four Seasons are showing interest in Belize, planning to open new resorts.
As amenities improve, prices are sure to increase.
So If you're interested in finding your place in the Caribbean sun…but you'd rather not pay typical Caribbean prices…you need to act fast and join this online seminar. It’s your insider guide to locking in your piece of paradise in Belize’s untapped market.
