April is one of the best months to visit Belize. With dry season still in full swing, travelers can expect sunny skies, warm temperatures, and the perfect weather for outdoor adventures—whether that’s snorkeling the reef, exploring Maya sites, or simply lounging with a view. And just as important as what you do in Belize is where you stay. From jungle escapes to beachfront retreats, Belize offers an incredible range of places to call home during your spring getaway.

Here’s a look at some of the best places to stay in Belize this April—each offering something unique for travelers seeking comfort, style, and a real connection to the beauty around them.

Villa Massis – San Ignacio

Tucked beside a river and surrounded by lush greenery just outside San Ignacio Town, Villa Massis is one of the top places to stay in inland Belize. April is a great time to enjoy this peaceful jungle retreat, with warm weather for hikes, swimming, and outdoor dining.

Villa Massis offers private villas, an inviting pool, and easy access to some of the most iconic Maya sites in the region, including Xunantunich, Caracol, and Cahal Pech. If you’re looking to balance relaxation with adventure, this is the spot. Guests can also book tours directly through the resort, making it easy to explore the surrounding mountains, caves, and waterfalls.

It’s ideal for couples, families, and solo travelers who want a stay that feels private and personal, while still being close to everything.

Victoria House – Ambergris Caye

If island luxury is more your speed, Victoria House on Ambergris Caye delivers. This beachfront resort combines tropical charm with first-class service, making it one of the most beloved places to stay in Belize.

April is an especially good time to visit, as the weather is perfect for snorkeling, sailing, and diving along the Belize Barrier Reef. You’ll find yourself steps from the beach, with palm trees swaying, cocktails in hand, and no rush to be anywhere.

Victoria House also offers spa services, romantic dining options, and a quiet atmosphere that makes it popular for honeymoons and peaceful getaways.

Chabil Mar & Sirenian Bay – Placencia

For travelers heading south, Placencia is a top destination—and Chabil Mar and Sirenian Bay are two of the best places to stay while you’re there.

Chabil Mar is a boutique beachfront resort known for its lush gardens, colorful villas, and personal service. Located in Placencia Village, it gives guests the best of both worlds: the quiet of a resort and the local flavor of a charming beach town.

Sirenian Bay offers a more modern and family-friendly option, with a mix of villas and bungalows, a spa, miniature golf course, and plenty of onsite activities.

Both are perfect for enjoying Placencia’s relaxed atmosphere, day trips to the cayes, or even inland tours to the Monkey River or Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary.

Iguana Beach House Belize – Corozal

For a quieter escape, Iguana Beach House Belize in Corozal is a hidden gem. With beautiful coastal views and a relaxed pace of life, this is where you go to unplug.

April brings warm breezes and sunny days perfect for exploring nearby Maya sites like Cerros, walking the sea wall, or enjoying an afternoon nap in a hammock. The beach house is ideal for couples or small groups looking for a private, peaceful place to stay away from busier destinations.

Cahal Pech Resort & San Ignacio Resort Hotel – San Ignacio

Also in San Ignacio, Cahal Pech Resort offers great value and location, especially for travelers eager to explore nearby cultural and natural attractions. With hillside views, comfortable accommodations, and easy access to Cahal Pech Maya site, it’s a favorite among budget-conscious adventurers.

Just down the road, San Ignacio Resort Hotel brings a more upscale touch, with an onsite restaurant, pool, and proximity to the Green Iguana Conservation Project. It’s ideal for travelers who want modern comforts while staying close to town and tours.

Black Orchid Resort – Near Belize City

For those flying into Belize City or looking for a comfortable place to start or end their trip, Black Orchid Resort is an excellent choice. Located just outside the city in a riverside setting, it’s peaceful, convenient, and offers easy access to the Belize Zoo, Baboon Sanctuary, and Altun Ha.
