In late December 2020, Let’s Buy An Island purchased Coffee Caye (pronounced “Key”, meaning “Island” – both words can be used interchangeably) , an island in the heart of Belize, a hidden gem in the Caribbean.
The island is about 7km off the coast of Belize City, reachable in about 15 minutes by boat. Belize City itself is only 20 minutes from the country’s only international hub, which serves names like American Airlines, Delta, United, AeroMexico, Sun Country, Air Canada, Avianca, Southwest, British Airways, and more. On a good day, you could leave a city like New York City at 8am and be on your own private island in time for a late lunch.
The island may be highly accessible, but it is also secluded– you feel alone in the best way possible. The island was already ready to build on with a 360-degree view and no swamps or noise. The island also has 4G/LTE cellular service from Belize City.
750 metres to the south of Coffee Island is another, larger island with some minimal development. 10 km to the east is St George Caye, formerly a British military base, which is now partly abandoned but also has some fairly high-end properties in use. Beyond that is the coral reef which is around 12km away.
