Welcome to Sanctuary Bay, 14,000 acres of pristine Caribbean coastline beauty in the heart of Belize’s southern region, Stann Creek. 

Surrounded by 111,000 acres of wildlife reserves on either side of the new development, Sactuary Bay is between Sittee River Wildlife Reserve and Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. 

Sanctuary Bay respects and honors Belize in the country’s concerted efforts to maintain the lush untouched landscape, and has worked with the Government of Belize to use an eco-sensitive growth strategy. 

Part of that plan is to allow unlimited access and membership to the Sittee River Wildlife Reserve. This allows owners of Belize land to take an active part in preserving the landscape while always being allowed to enjoy the flora and fauna at their convenience. 

To learn more about the Sanctuary Bay eco-sensitive growth strategy or owning real estate in Belize at Sanctuary Bay,  please contact Sanctuary Bay representatives.

Yet another fantastic activity to enjoy close to the Sanctuary Bay lots for sale in Belize, is birding. 

Two excellent sites are both within a day’s travel to experience the opportunity to see birds in the wild that you might have only seen in zoos or books. 

One such place is the Jaguar Reserve in Cockscomb Basin.  It covers 102,000 acres of rain forest in the Maya Mountains and is home to hundreds of species of flora and fauna. 

About 300 species of birds alone have been recorded in this area, including the endangered Scarlet Macaws, Keel Billed Toucan, and the King Vulture. 

Of course the forest plants which provide homes, protection, and sustenance to the birds are also very colorful and exotic, which only add to your birding experience in Belize.
