At a moment when luxury travelers are rethinking distance, access, and meaning in their escapes, a new residential resort in Belize is quietly redrawing the map. Long associated with tropical destinations like the Maldives or Bora Bora, an overwater villa escape is now arriving closer to home.
Set on Emerald Caye, a private island just off Ambergris Caye in Belize, Six Senses Residences Belize introduces the first overwater living experience of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. The resort features a limited collection of just 16 two- and four-bedroom branded residences, along with 40 overwater bungalow hotel suites, offering a private and highly curated retreat. The property is developed by privately held real estate investment and development firm with deep roots in Belize, CRDG LLC. Studio CABAN, an Arizona-based architectural firm will bring the serene and natural interiors to life with organic colors and textures.
Each villa is thoughtfully designed across two levels. The lower floor includes a full kitchen, pantry, laundry room, spacious living area, and a sun deck complete with a private terrace and pool. Upstairs, expansive bedrooms and bathrooms are complemented by wellness amenities, a dedicated office space, and a private balcony overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
The resort allows a private yet convenient location for residents to enjoy a peaceful day at the beach while also having direct access to the world’s second largest barrier reef and the famous diving spot, the Great Blue Hole. A 15-minute boat ride from the lively town of San Pedro, the island offers a sense of seclusion without isolation. Residents can move easily between the quiet of their private enclave and the energy of local culture, where dining, nightlife, and community life continue to anchor the region’s identity.
Six Senses, known for its distinct resorts and residences that embody the natural topography of each location, is rooted in a passion for wellness, community and sustainable design. The resort utilizes Belize’s rare combination of ecological richness and cultural depth, from lush rainforests and white-sand beaches to ancient Mayan archaeological sites.
Drawing on traditional Mayan healing practices, the property’s spa and wellness amenities embody traditional Mayan practices, utilizing the natural remedies of the Earth for both spiritual and physical wellbeing. An oceanfront yoga pavilion, private beach club, and elevated lookout lounge, known as “The Nest”, further reinforce the idea that wellness here is not confined to a single space, but integrated into the rhythm of daily life.
If the Maldives once represented the pinnacle of overwater living, Belize may soon offer a compelling alternative, one that feels not only aspirational, but attainable in a way it never has before.
The development is projected to debut in 2028 with prices starting at $3.75 million. Sales and marketing efforts are handled exclusively by CRDG LLC. For more information, please visit the website at www.emeraldcaye.com or contact the sales office at +1 (888) 407-1183.
