Private indulgence in an island sanctuary in Belize

by | Jun 7, 2018 | Lux Stays

Elevation sometimes requires isolation, your endless adventure in a tropical paradise

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Your own private island sanctuary, just hours from Miami, resides in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean on Belize’s Barrier Reef––the second largest reef in the world. The definition of barefoot elegance, your luxurious 3,000-square-foot private beach villa for two on Gladden Private Island is ready to welcome you home with all the indulgent full service amenities of a luxury resort. A second master bedroom stands ready to receive guests should you care to entertain.

Stunning views wrap around your island home away from home. Standing in the entryway your eyes glimpse the coral reef just beyond the in-deck pool oasis. Let the dark woods of the master soothe and re-energise. Take in the view from the rooftop terrace, basking in the sun and dramatic panoramas.
