According to advanced reports, the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts have announced plans for the development of Caye Chapel, a private island in Belize featuring oceanfront estates, private residences and over water bungalows.

The plan is for the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Caye Chapel to transform the island of Caye Chapel into a luxury destination for residence owners and leisure travelers with approximately 50 private estate lots, 35 private residences, and 100 guest rooms and suites.

Caye Chapel is located in the Belize archipelago in the Caribbean Sea, adjacent to the UNESCO World Heritage designated Belize Barrier Reef System, the largest reef system in the northern hemisphere. Plans for the island also include a 18-hole golf course designed by Greg Norman in consultation with Lorena Ochoa, a Fabien Cousteau nature and conservation institute, a marina and private airstrip.

“We are excited to be a part of the reimagination of Caye Chapel into an exclusive luxury experience, and to do so in a way that protects and reinforces the natural wonders of the island,” says J. Allen Smith, President and CEO, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.

Scheduled to open in 2021, the project is in partnership with Thor Urbana, Inmobilia Desarrollos and GFA Grupo Inmobiliario, three leading real estate development groups based in Mexico.
