The Assets of Belize Have Not Gone Unnoticed

-

"Some amazing resorts are being planned for several islands recently sold near Placencia which will allow for tourists and residents in Placencia to island hop for the day and experience a variety of restaurants, bars and amenities in the near future,” stated Frik De Meyere, Owner/Broker at Prime Belize Real Estate.

The assets of Belize have not gone unnoticed.








Leonardo DiCaprio brought worldwide attention to Belize with his famous development on Blackadore Caye, which is an island on the western side of Ambergris Caye. It is likely that this development is going to bring a new level of luxury and top tier guests to Belize. Close by, another development on Caye Chapel has begun with the backing of the Four Seasons Resort. Caye Chapel is going to bring an unprecedented level of luxury to Belize and will include a Greg Norman golf course and a private runway.







Numerous Cayes have been featured on the famous HGTV Island Hunter TV shows. Chris Krolow, the executive producer and host of HGTV’s “Island Hunters” TV show created a now famous private island experience called Gladden Private Island. Take a helicopter to this very exclusive island that is being marketed as the most private island in the world. It was recently announced that Richard Branson, the world-famous entrepreneur and adventurer, will be visiting Belize to explore the bottom of the famous Blue Hole dive site via a research submarine.

In addition to bringing in tourism from all over the world, Belize has done an amazing job of doing so in an environmentally friendly manner. Belize is very committed to preservation of its cayes as demonstrated by the presence of many environmental organizations, extensive coral restoration, the banning of plastics by 2019, saying no to oil drilling, banning of gillnets and having protected seasons for lobster and conch.








The future will be very exciting as more and more of the island resorts open up. So the next time you are contemplating what to do during your trip to Belize consider the dream of owning your own slice of paradise.

No twins. Just two 11-year-olds. Yup, it gets confusing.

  We get asked all the time: "How old are your kids?" "Eleven, eleven and thirteen." A pause. "Twins?" "Nope." We laugh. It’s funny. Two girls, both eleven. But no, they're not twins. Not even close. Lana is our youngest by birth. Just a few months older is Ella, our adopted daughter. We moved to Belize without children. Work and travel were our priorities for a long time. Shaped by years of exploring places most people don’t go — Cambodia, Malawi, Ecuador — we’d seen poverty up close. Visited orphanages and schools. Witnessed the heartbreaking cracks in systems, the struggles communities face when living in slums and poverty. And hunger. The plight of undernourished children hits you in the gut. Along the way, we met people doing serious work. Education programs in Ecuador. Healthcare projects in remote villages. Orphanage support in Cambodia and Malawi. We’d listen, learn and when possible, help. Every trip added another layer. While changi...

Rewriting Your Story Is Bold

To chase something bigger, bolder, and brilliantly audacious. Hey there, I’m Frik.  22 years ago, I'd have laughed if you’d told me I’d be here in Placencia, Belize, running a thriving real estate business while my wife runs a bustling coffee, wine, and ice cream shop. Belize? Back then, it was merely a name I’d scrolled past on a drop-down menu when filling out an online form. Yet here I am. Our home rests on the edge of the Caribbean Sea, the waves lapping at the shore as I juggle everything from high-stakes property negotiations to the occasional bout of baking — bread, bagels, and cheesecake, whenever our supplier takes a sudden holiday. That's the type of people we are. Packed days. Occasionally, you’ll find us in the café kitchen past midnight, celebrating with a bottle of wine, fueled by the drive to keep moving forward. We live our dream. But it’s not the kind you wake up from. The kind you work on daily. My wife and I have been together for a very long time. Our compat...

Belize Thrives on Ambition, Not Submission

How big are you willing to think? We came here because we don’t get mail.  A bit bizarre when you say it out loud, isn’t it? Let me explain. Back in Europe, my mailbox ran my life.  Every morning, 50 letters. Each one told me what to do.  A bill to pay. A tax to file. A report to submit.  In the first years of running my business, it was 95% business and 5% admin.  By the time I left Europe, those numbers had flipped. Most of my days were lost to paperwork, government forms and dealing with banks.  That’s why, when my clients ask about addresses in Belize, I just smile and ask. “Which mail do you want to get?”  Because here, if the system doesn’t send you mail… it doesn’t control your time. I call that freedom.  The blank canvas of Belize. When we arrived two decades ago, Belize was shaped by farming and fishing. Banana, citrus, and sugarcane fields stretched inland while fishermen pulled in the day’s catch from the clear Caribbean waters.  L...
