How many accommodations does Mångata Villas have?

Where is Mångata Villas located, and how far is it from San Pedro?
Mångata Villas is located 6.5 miles north of San Pedro Town on Ambergris Caye, Belize. The secluded beachfront location offers peace and privacy while still making it easy to explore the island by golf cart.
How do I get to Mångata Villas from the Belize airport?
Fly into Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE), then choose between a short domestic flight to San Pedro or a water taxi from Belize City. Once you arrive in San Pedro, you can take a taxi or rent a golf cart to reach Mångata Villas. See our complete guide to getting here.
Do I need to rent a golf cart?
A golf cart is not required, but we highly recommend one. Mångata Villas is 6.5 miles north of San Pedro Town, and a golf cart makes it easy to explore restaurants, beaches, shops, attractions, and other parts of Ambergris Caye at your own pace. We can recommend a reliable local golf cart rental company and help arrange your rental.
Is Mångata Villas right on the beach?
Yes. Mångata Villas is a beachfront property on a white-sand beach overlooking the Caribbean Sea, with a beachfront swimming pool, hammocks, daybeds, and complimentary kayaks and stand-up paddleboards.
Is the beach at Mångata Villas good for swimming?
Guests are welcome to swim from our private beach. The water is shallow for quite a distance and there is boat traffic in the area, so conditions are different from a traditional deep-water swimming beach. We do not recommend snorkeling directly from our beach because the shallow water and seagrass beds are not ideal for snorkeling.
Complimentary kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are available for guests who want to explore the water.
Is there a restaurant or bar at Mångata Villas?
Yes. Moon Bar, our on-site beachfront bar and pizzeria, serves cocktails, specialty coffees, and award-winning flame-fired pizzas, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. Moon Bar is open daily from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.
There is also a restaurant next door, about a one-minute walk along the beach, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Because every villa and casita has a full kitchen, guests can also prepare their own meals. See More.
Is Wi-Fi available, and can I work remotely from Mångata Villas?
Yes. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in every villa and casita, making Mångata Villas a comfortable option for guests who want to stay connected or work remotely during their Belize vacation.
Is Mångata Villas good for honeymoons, anniversaries, and special occasions?
Absolutely. The adults-only setting, private accommodations, beachfront location, and intimate five-unit size make Mångata Villas especially well suited to honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays, and other special getaways. Our team can also help with personalized touches and planning for your celebration.
Can I rent the entire property for a wedding, elopement, or group?
Yes. You can reserve all five villas and casitas for exclusive use of the property, creating a private beachfront retreat for your group. The entire property can accommodate up to 14 guests and is ideal for micro-weddings, elopements, reunions, retreats, couples' getaways, and other group celebrations.
Whole-property guests have exclusive use of all five accommodations, along with access to the beach, pool, kayaks, paddleboards, beach games, hammocks, firepit, and Moon Bar. Learn More.
What activities and tours can I do near Mångata Villas?
There is plenty to do on Ambergris Caye and throughout Belize. Popular activities include snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, catamaran cruises, exploring the island by golf cart, visiting Hol Chan Marine Reserve, and enjoying local restaurants, music, and spa experiences. Mainland excursions can include cave tubing, Mayan archaeological sites, ziplining, and jungle adventures.
Our team is happy to help guests arrange tours and recommend activities during their stay.
When is the best time to visit Belize, and when is sargassum most common?
Belize is a year-round destination. High season generally runs from mid-December through April, bringing warm, generally drier weather and more visitors. The green season, roughly May through November, is warm with occasional passing showers, fewer crowds, and often lower rates.
Sargassum can affect the beach, particularly during the spring and summer months. It is a natural phenomenon and conditions can vary. Our team works hard to manage sargassum with daily beach cleanups. If you are concerned about current conditions, contact us before your trip and we'll be happy to provide an update.
What time is check-in and check-out?
Check-in is at 3:00 p.m. and check-out is at 11:00 a.m. Early check-in and late check-out may be available depending on availability. Please contact us if you would like to request either.
What is included when I book directly with Mångata Villas?
When you book directly, you receive our Best Available Rate, personalized concierge planning, a complimentary welcome drink on arrival, and priority upgrades when available.
What is the cancellation policy at Mångata Villas?
Guests can cancel their booking free of charge up to 14 days before the check-in date. Cancellations made prior to 14 days will receive a full refund of their deposit, minus a 5% cancellation fee to help cover the costs of the initial reservation.
Cancellations made less than 14 days before check-in are non-refundable.
Guests may reschedule their booking once, at no additional charge, for a new stay within 12 months of the original check-in date, subject to availability. All other conditions must remain the same. Any upgrade to a different room type or a change from low season to high season will be subject to the applicable rate difference. Learn More.
Are there grocery stores near Mångata Villas?
Yes. There is a small grocery store a couple of miles from the property, while San Pedro Town has a much larger selection of grocery stores, convenience stores, fresh produce stands, and other shops. Since town is 6.5 miles away, a golf cart is the most convenient way to get groceries and explore the island.
What happens if there is a power outage?
Mångata Villas has a generator that automatically starts in the event of a power outage, so guests continue to have access to electricity.
