Six Senses Residences Belize is bringing the overwater villa experience to the Caribbean, and they’re on sale now.

Bringing the Maldives-style villas to the Western Hemisphere for the first time, the residences mark a new chapter in luxury travel, allowing guests to enjoy a style of vacation that they once would have had to travel long haul for.

Designed by Arizona-based architectural firm Studio CABAN and developed by CRDG LLC, a privately held real estate investment and development firm with deep roots in Belize, Six Senses Residences Belize features just 16 two-and four-bedroom homes. Located on Emerald Caye, a private island off the coast of Ambergris Caye in Belize, the development offers seclusion and privacy backdropped by pristine white sandy beaches, lush rainforests and dazzling blue waters.

Emerald Caye is well positioned for ocean excursions with the world’s largest marine sinkhole and second largest barrier reef right at its doorstep, and welcomes residents to immerse themselves in local San Pedro culture, known for its dining, shopping and nightlife activities.

“People are looking for year-round warm climate and convenience to a tropical escape with access to unique experiences and excursions,” says John Turley, a Development Partner. “Belize is less than a three-hour flight from cities like Miami, Houston and Atlanta, with many more direct routes from major West Coast urban hubs like Denver and Los Angeles, so it’s an ideal paradise for many American buyers wanting an enriched lifestyle with amenities that most can only find in places like the Maldives or Bora Bora.”

Spacious and airy, two-bedroom homes span 4,387 square feet, while four-bedroom villas feature 7,891 square feet of indoor and outdoor space. Each villa offers two floors, with the lower levels including a full kitchen, pantry, laundry room, living room, sun deck, terrace and pool, and the upper levels feature bedrooms and bathrooms, wellness equipment, an office and balcony overlooking the crystal clear Caribbean Sea. With natural textures and a chic rustic design, furnishing packages from Maed Collective and Huber Design Studio are available for purchase, offering a move-in ready solution.

Six Senses Residences Belize is part of the Six Senses Belize resort featuring 40 overwater bungalow hotel suites, two signature restaurants, full-service Six Senses Belize Spa & wellness center, oceanfront yoga pavilion, private beach club & resort pool, Kids Club, “The Nest” elevated lookout lounge and arrival pier for owners. Drawing on locally inspired and holistic spa therapies, the property’s spa and wellness amenities embody traditional Mayan practices, utilizing the natural remedies of the Earth for both spiritual and physical wellbeing.

Construction is now underway and is set to be completed in 2028.
