Buying a getaway or retirement home is an important decision for you and your family. Let us help you explore your options to ensure that Orchid Bay is the best fit for you.
- Step 2: Book a Discovery Stay
When you’re ready to test-drive living in paradise, you can book a Discovery Stay where we’ll host you for an unforgettable 4-day, 3-night tour of our community.
- Step 3: Select and Purchase Your Home
Once you and your family decide that Orchid Bay is right for you, we’ll walk you through the entire process of selecting and closing on your new home in paradise.
What is a Discovery Stay?
Before buying a home, you need to see our property and experience the Orchid Bay lifestyle firsthand. A Discovery Stay is an epic 4-day, 3-night vacation where we host you and a guest on an unforgettable trip to Belize as well as a comprehensive tour of our community.
Plan Your Trip
We’ll handle the logistics
In preparation for your trip, our travel agent will book the most convenient flights to accommodate your schedule. Once you’ve arrived in Belize City, a Legacy Advisor will greet you at the airport and handle all of the transportation while you’re here.
Day 1
Ambergris Caye
Upon arrival, we’ll transport you and any other guests touring Orchid Bay to Ambergris Caye –Belize’s largest island and top tourist destination. We’ll show you around the island, enjoy food and drinks, and stay on the island overnight.
Day 2
Journey to Orchid Bay
You’ll start your day with a sunrise over the reef before we meet up for breakfast. Then you’ll get to explore ancient Mayan ruins as we make our way to Orchid bay. That evening, you’ll get settled in before the welcome dinner and social night.
Day 3
Experience Paradise-Living
The day begins with a breakfast buffet at the Tradewinds Restaurant. After breakfast, you’ll enjoy a day of nonstop fun that includes sailing out into the Caribbean, snorkeling along reefs, and world-class fishing. The evening is yours to enjoy as you please.
Day 4
Back to Reality
You’ll enjoy one last breakfast at Orchid Bay before we depart to the airport in Belize City. At this point, some guests decide to extend their visit so they can enjoy the amenities at Orchid Bay even longer (additional charges apply).
What to Pack
Belize has amazing tropical weather, which makes it easy for packing light. In the winter months, you can expect an average high of 75°F, and an average high of 85°F throughout the summer months. We recommend lightweight shoes, t-shirts, and tank tops for day and night.

How much is a Discovery Stay?
The Orchid Bay Discovery Stay is $1,999, which includes food, drinks, excursions, and in-country travel for you and a guest. However, when you book your Discovery Stay by May 10th, you'll get a big discount.
The Paradise Retirement Plan
How would you like to retire in paradise, spending your best years relaxing by the beach and experiencing the laid-back Belizean lifestyle with like-minded friends? We’ve got a plan to help you make that dream a reality!
Find your home.
Most retirees buy a home at Orchid Bay several years before retiring. This gives you time to enjoy holidays and family getaways at your home in paradise while you’re still working.
Enter our Rental Program
By putting your home in our optional Rental Program, you can generate revenue that helps offset the cost of ownership of your home until you retire. Don’t worry, you will still get plenty of personal use out of your home throughout the year when you aren’t renting it out. (Terms and conditions apply.)
Retire and move to Orchid Bay
Once you’re ready to retire, you have spent enough time here to know if you’d like to become a full-time resident in Belize. If so, you could be eligible for Belize’s Qualified Retirement Program (QRP) – one of the most attractive incentives for expats who want to enjoy life in a tropical destination with a favorable cost of living.
Otherwise, you can continue to rent your home and enjoy part-time or seasonal residence here. Speak to a Legacy Advisor for more information.

- Private Beach
We have our own private beach for Orchid Bay residents and visitors that remains clean and pristine, unlike other beaches overrun with tourists.
- Mexico is Nearby
Orchid Bay is located close to the Mexican border with bordering states that include Tulum, Cozumel, Cancún, and Playa del Carmen. If you need to do any shopping beyond the local farmer’s market, Chetumal is your best option.

3 Must-Do Activities for Your Belize Bucket List
- See the Great Blue Hole- As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Great Blue Hole is considered one of the world’s most distinguished diving sites. Created approximately 10,000 years ago after a cave roof crumbled in, this deep blue abyss contains underwater tunnels, caverns, and rock formations.
- Visit Ambergris Caye- This 25-mile long island off the coast of northern Belize caters to snorkelers and divers. The island offers easy access to the barrier reef and exploring the Hol Chan Marine Reserve. When you’re not underwater, you can eat, go shopping, and enjoy beachside cocktails in San Pedro, Ambergris’ main town.
- Explore Lamanai- Lamanai is a 960-acre Mayan site located on the New River Lagoon in Northern Belize. Its name means “submerged crocodile”and that’s what you’ll encounter when you visit, including artifacts depicting reptiles, plus crocodiles and iguanas crawling along its banks.

Why More Expats and Retirees Choose Belize
For those who want to own a piece of paradise, Belize isn’t the only option, but it is one of the most attractive options for several reasons – close proximity to the United States, English-speaking people, and a predictable exchange rate pegged to the US Dollar.
One option to consider is Costa Rica. However, you’ll find that equivalent real estate is significantly more expensive in Costa Rica, they don’t have retirement incentives, and you will need to speak a little Spanish to get around. Plus, Belize is closer to North America.
Another option is Panama, which does have a similar retirement program, but it lacks the natural beauty and desirable location of Belize. Your home budget also won’t go as far in Panama – especially if you want to live in a beachfront community.
