Stella di Mare, pronounced “STEL-uh dee MAH-ray,” means “star of the sea.” On the shores of Ambergris Caye, this newly renovated and expanded four-bedroom, three-bathroom beachfront villa welcomes up to eight guests to Caribbean blues, tropical gardens and unhurried island days.
Set on nearly two acres just 4.5 miles north of San Pedro, Stella di Mare combines peaceful seclusion with an ideal vacation-rental location: approximately 10 minutes to downtown and 10 minutes to Secret Beach, depending on transportation and conditions. Restaurants, beach bars and a full-service resort with a PADI dive shop and excursion center are within walking distance.
Wake to breathtaking sea views, stroll the sandy shoreline, collect shells or slip into a hammock beneath the palms. With the Belize Barrier Reef directly offshore, world-class snorkeling, diving and sport fishing are close at hand. Fill your days with adventure, or simply unwind beside the custom infinity-edge pool overlooking the Caribbean.
Above it all, the rooftop glass verandah and hot tub invite you to soak in panoramic ocean and lagoon views. Gather beneath the upper dining palapa, savor a leisurely meal and watch the colors of the island change around you.
Two spacious upstairs primary suites feature private bathrooms, with a comfortable lounge and an expansive ocean-view glass verandah providing room to relax. Downstairs, a gourmet kitchen with an island, dining and family areas, laundry facilities, two guest bedrooms and a full bathroom make gathering effortless. Belizean hardwoods, local artwork and coastal décor complement air conditioning, ceiling fans, smart lighting and high-speed fiber internet.
From family escapes and romantic getaways to beachfront weddings and corporate retreats, Stella di Mare makes every gathering special. Private chef and spa services are available, bringing fresh seafood dinners, personalized pampering and a little more indulgence to your island stay.

For the generations
of tomorrow.
Stella di Mare is also a designated and protected turtle-nesting beach. Nesting begins in May and continues through October, with peak activity in June and July.
Female turtles come ashore at night to dig nests and lay eggs. Hatchlings typically emerge 50–60 days later, often in August and September.
Stella di Mare proudly endorses and supports the fight against sargassum and the BTB’s Sargassum Task Force, in conjunction with the L.O.A. and all marine conservation divisions and departments.
Working on solutions today, for the generations of tomorrow.
