Beach Resort in Belize
About this listing
Marc DiBrita presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational beachfront hospitality business in the heart of Maya Beach on Belize’s Placencia Peninsula. Set on approximately one acre of Caribbean beachfront, with an additional 0.35-acre roadfront and canalfront parcel across the street, the offering includes a fully operational beachfront resort, an established food and beverage venue, recurring management income, and future development opportunities in one of Belize’s most desirable coastal communities. Developed over many years by veteran builder and developer Tom Hudson, whose construction experience spans more than three decades in both the Washington, D.C. area and Belize, the resort was built with longevity and low maintenance in mind. Construction consists primarily of concrete, steel, block-and-beam construction, quality windows and doors, extensive Belizean hardwoods, and durable zinc roofing systems. The result is a resort that has been meticulously maintained and purpose-built for the tropical environment. The resort currently offers 22 completed rental keys, with an additional four unbuilt units that remain available for customization and future expansion. Upon completion, the property will comprise 26 total accommodation units. Of those 26 units, 14 are owned by the developer and transfer with the sale. The remaining 12 units are individually owned condominiums that participate in the resort through mandatory HOA membership and short-term rental management agreements. These agreements generate ongoing management revenue, with the resort receiving 40% of rental revenues from participating privately owned units. Accommodation includes a collection of detached beachfront cabanas alongside one- and two-bedroom condominium residences. Ten of the residences are fully detached, providing guests with a level of privacy rarely found in traditional resort developments. Additional residences are located within thoughtfully designed multi-unit buildings. Throughout the property, owners and guests benefit from professional management, established rental systems, and extensive resort amenities. At the center of the resort is a beautifully landscaped pool area featuring a swim-up bar, mature tropical landscaping, shaded lounging areas, and an attractive stretch of Maya Beach frontage. Over the years, the beachfront and grounds have been carefully improved and maintained, creating an environment that feels established, private, and welcoming. Guests arrive through a dedicated reception space with front desk facilities and additional space suitable for concierge services, tours, transportation bookings, or activity rentals. Included in the sale is the resort’s beachfront restaurant, a significant hospitality asset that serves both resort guests and the broader Maya Beach community. The venue has been thoughtfully designed across multiple levels, creating a variety of dining and event experiences within a single operation. The lower level features a distinctive sunken dining room anchored by a central bar that also serves the pool deck and outdoor guest areas. The main level offers additional dining space alongside an open kitchen concept with guest seating. Above, a private event space accommodates approximately 75 guests and is well suited for weddings, conferences, retreats, celebrations, and group functions. The restaurant serves as both a guest amenity and an independent revenue center, expanding the property’s appeal beyond room revenue while creating opportunities for food and beverage operations, events, and destination gatherings. Operational infrastructure has been thoughtfully developed, including separate utility metering for individually owned units, two backup generators, established accounting systems, reservation platforms, marketing programs, staffing structures, and operating procedures. The resort is fully turnkey, allowing a new owner to step into an established business with proven systems already in place. Across the road, the additional 0.35-acre parcel provides both immediate utility and future opportunity. The site contains the resort’s wastewater treatment facilities, laundry operations, storage areas, substantial road frontage, and valuable canal frontage. There remains ample space for additional commercial development, whether as a café, tour operation, marina-related business, rental operation, or other complementary hospitality use. The ownership also benefits from existing management agreements within the adjacent Ceiba Beach Residences community, where the resort currently manages vacation rentals on behalf of homeowners. These agreements provide additional revenue streams while strengthening the property’s position as a hospitality hub within Maya Beach. Currently, several residences participate in the rental program, generating management income in addition to the resort’s accommodations and restaurant operations. Location remains one of the resort’s greatest strength
