Ambergris Caye Real Estate for Sale

Yes. Foreigners can buy titled, privately owned beachfront property on Ambergris Caye, with no residency requirement (US State Department). The first strip of up to 66 feet from the high-water mark is national land reserved for public use, so buyers own behind it, and docks or seawalls need Ministry of Natural Resources permission.

Not exactly. Ambergris Caye is Belize’s largest island, and San Pedro is its main town, according to the Belize Tourism Board. Listings in town are on our San Pedro page, while North Ambergris, Secret Beach and South Ambergris have their own pages. This page shows every listing on the island.

By short domestic flight from Belize City’s international airport, or by scheduled water taxi from Belize City, according to the Belize Tourism Board. A ferry also runs from Corozal Town to San Pedro. Most residents get around the island by golf cart rather than car.

Ambergris Caye sits in the Atlantic hurricane basin, where the official season runs June 1 to November 30, according to NOAA’s National Hurricane Center. Ask about the building’s construction, elevation, storm shutters and insurance history, and budget for windstorm insurance before you buy.

Yes, if it is licensed. The Belize Tourism Board requires every vacation rental, condos included, to be registered and licensed before it is advertised on Airbnb or similar sites. Licensed hosts collect a 9% accommodation tax from guests. Many condo developments also have their own rental rules, so check the HOA documents first.
