Paradise on La Isla Bonita

Madonna “fell in love with San Pedro,” the central town of Ambergris Caye, and wrote the song La Isla Bonita, which ended up becoming one of the most played pop songs of all time. Perhaps the song’s popularity is due to its poetic depiction of every person’s dream: paradise. Perhaps it’s because this paradise is real.

Ambergris Caye, pronounced “am-BER-gris key,” is the largest of the island cayes of Belize, and San Pedro Town is known for being a true Caribbean playground. The Island features the Belize Barrier Reef, the second largest barrier reef in the world, world-class scuba diving and snorkeling, and fishing of all varieties and levels, as well as culture. San Pedro is very well known in the country for its fine dining and active nightlife, and the town is filled with all kinds of restaurants and bars to keep visitors busy for days.

Visitors to San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, be forewarned, you just may fall in love too.
