“ZAMA CAYE Belize” is an exciting new offering from Yearwood Properties. It is a very unique tropical private island that is situated not far from the southernmost point of the 16-mile-long, well-known beach resort town of Placencia in southern Belize. The surrounding waters are perfectly transparent and have amazing living coral and marine life. A true haven for snorkelers! If you like lobster, you can simply go into the water in the appropriate season and catch your own, or you can board a boat and capture the day’s catch of fish.
A tropical island with beautiful beaches and lush vegetation. One of the nicest islands in the vicinity is this stunning natural wonder, known locally as Scipio Caye. These kinds of islands are not typically offered for sale. A extremely uncommon chance for a resort developer, or just a treasured family legacy. Furthermore
ZAMA CAYE Belize offers a buyer :
– A location ideal for hotel operations:
– Easy access and departure for guests who can arrive to and from the airport or mainland, safely and with ease, whatever the weather.
– Proximity to Placencia would mean that the owner wouldn’t have to have all of the staff living on site- they could go home after their shift. The owner would therefore save on staff accommodation costs and related costs, staff meal costs etc.
– Simplified operation due to proximity could avoid having large food and cold storage which would save capital costs, energy costs and amounts of money tied up in inventory.
– Easy transportation of all supplies, fuel, trash removal
– Easy access for emergency medical needs for guests or staff
– Food and Beverage revenue potential from outside guests at the resorts restaurants
– Security reasons (the Coast Guard is stationed at the next door island less than a mile away).
