A Belize House Rental With a Private Chef, for 8 to 14

The private chef is part of the booking, not a separate hire. A fully-staffed island home on St. George's Caye, 20 minutes by boat from Belize City.

At Casa Al Mar, the private chef is part of the booking, not someone you arrange and budget on the side. It is a fully-staffed island home on St. George's Caye for one group of 8 to 14 at a time. The chef cooks three meals a day in Maya, Mestizo, Creole and international flavors, planned around your group before you even arrive.

A captain and licensed guide keep the boat yours for the reef, drop fishing, and an island-hopping day, with airport transfers handled before you land, daily housekeeping, and WiFi .

From the airport, it is about a 20 to 25 minute drive to the Belize City dock, then a 20-minute private boat ride to the caye. No domestic flight. More on getting here.

Fresh and local, planned around your group

Breakfast is local and easy — the kind of morning meal that gets everyone to the table without fuss. Lunch is built to move with the day: burgers, seafood quesadillas, pibil tacos, sandwiches, packed for the boat or an inland excursion when the plan calls for it. Dinner is where the chef slows down and the group comes together, most nights family-style in the second-floor dining room.

Three meals are served daily, and every menu is planned around the group before anyone arrives. Before each stay, Casa Al Mar sends a simple form covering likes, dislikes, allergies, and dietary restrictions. That information shapes the week's cooking from the start — it's the reason guests consistently leave well-fed and without complaints, not luck or last-minute improvisation.

Casa Al Mar is an island property with no stores nearby and limited mainland provisioning once the stay begins. The chef works thoughtfully within that reality, and the advance planning is what makes it work. What it isn't is an on-demand kitchen where any dish is available at any time — and guests who understand that tend to appreciate what the chef actually delivers far more than those who arrive expecting otherwise.

Any allergies or dietary restrictions should be shared at the time of booking, not on arrival day. The earlier that information is in the team's hands, the better the week looks for everyone at the table.
