Why The Watermark — Why Now

Belize recorded its highest-ever overnight tourism arrivals in 2024 — 562,405 visitors, up 21% year-over-year and 11.8% above pre-pandemic records. Ambergris Caye captured nearly 28% of all visitor arrivals, making it the dominant in-country destination. Occupancy on the island reached 68% in 2024 and accelerated to 71% in Q1 2025. Average daily rates climbed 15% to USD $284 in 2025 YTD. Revenue Per Available Room(RevPAR) has compounded at over 12% annually, more than double the Caribbean average. Against this backdrop, beachfront hotel assets in San Pedro are extraordinarily scarce. Permitting, land acquisition, and construction costs make new full-service hotel development prohibitively difficult. The Watermark is operating today with brand equity, guest reviews, and revenue in place. The Watermark Belize is the island’s leading full-service hotel, the tallest building on San Pedro and home to one of only a handful of rooftop pools and rooftop restaurants on the island. The property is fully branded and listed on TripAdvisor, Google, and direct booking platforms with an active global guest base.
