About South Ambergris Caye

South Ambergris Caye is the island's polished resort belt, a beachfront corridor running south from San Pedro lined with gated condo communities, branded developments and full-service marinas. It offers a quieter, more curated experience than the town core while staying a short golf-cart ride from amenities, attracting buyers who want turnkey, professionally managed beachfront. This is where branded-residence economics shine: developments such as Mahogany Bay-style communities pair rental-management programs with 8-15% advertised gross yields and strong dry-season occupancy. Beachfront condos here run roughly USD 400,000-900,000, commanding the island's higher per-sqft tier at USD 450-650+. Appreciation tracks the caye's 9-14% trend, and the managed model appeals to hands-off foreign owners. Full freehold, 8% stamp tax and no capital-gains tax apply.
