Ambergris Caye, Belize, has been named the leading destination in Central America by the World Travel Awards for two years running.
Belize's largest island, which is also often considered Belize's crown jewel, is easily accessible from the mainland and holds countless opportunities for adventure, from diving at the Great Blue Hole to checking out a place called Shark-Ray Alley.
Here's why this Caribbean island beat out other travel hotspots such as San Jose, Costa Rica, and Tulum, Mexico.
Ambergris Caye is Belize’s largest island, measuring about 25 miles in length. What that means for you is tons of white sandy beaches.
The vibrant island paradise is located in the Caribbean Sea, just off the coast of Belize.
The island is known as "La Isla Bonita," as many believe that Madonna’s 1986 song by the same name was inspired by it. Whether it actually was or not, it certainly lives up to the title.
