Legacy Global Development Shares How to Achieve ‘Blue Mind’ in Belize

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Legacy Global Development, the developer of the luxurious Orchid Bay, Belize community, explores the concept and benefits of blue mind, in its latest blog post titled, "Experiencing Blue Mind in Belize."

Blue mind is a concept made popular in the bestselling book by the same name, written by Marine Biologist Walter J. Nichols, where he details the science behind the remarkable effects water has on our health and wellbeing.

Nichols defines blue mind as "the mildly meditative state we fall into when near, in, on or underwater." We spend much of our lives in a state known as red mind, which is characterized by the overstimulation of our everyday surroundings and responsibilities. Rather than turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with this discomfort, we can spend time in or near water to unlock the state of blue mind-the opposite of red mind-to feel calm and at ease.

The concept of blue mind is backed by neuroscientists, who agree on the benefits it offers, including feelings of relaxation, increased physical performance, and a boost in creativity. We can achieve blue mind through a variety of methods. Smaller bodies of water like lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, fish tanks, fountains, and even bathtubs can all activate the positive surge of emotions that come with blue mind.

However, the best way to access blue mind is to go to the beach. Studies indicate that the negatively charged ions near the sea lower blood lactate levels and improve mood.

"Nothing compares to the bliss that comes from spending time away from the daily grind-no cell phone, no responsibilities, just you and the water," said Chris Williams, CEO of Legacy Global Development. "And there's no better place to achieve this state of euphoria than in Belize. As home to the second-largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere, and offering water activities from diving, snorkeling, and fishing, there is no shortage of opportunities to achieve blue mind here. When just sitting on the beach with a tropical drink in hand, Belize offers extraordinary water views like no other."

Orchid Bay, Belize is surrounded by the beautiful waters of the Caribbean Sea. It is the ideal community to stay for a week, or own a vacation home and visit throughout the year. Vacationers and homeowners can choose between Beachfront Condominiums, Casitas, Waterway Villas, or Bungalows, right on the gorgeous coastline of Belize. Without even leaving the community, there are plenty of opportunities to achieve a constant state of blue mind, including access to an infinity pool, paddleboards, kayaks, and beach volleyball.

Located in northern Belize and developed by Legacy Global Development, Orchid Bay is a gated, master-planned community situated on a 114-acre site in the Bay of Chetumal. It combines North American comforts with a spectacular Caribbean setting. The development was influenced by innovations in community design that reveal small-town accessibility, connectivity, and convenience - all with respect to the natural environment. The master plan calls for a series of canals and basins for easy navigation around the community, first-world infrastructure, and 10 percent green space set aside.

On-site amenities include the Tradewinds Beach Club and Restaurant, as well as a 7,700-square foot beach club with multiple swimming pools, a gym, restaurant, bar, lounging decks, and private beach access, which is currently in development. An on-site grocery store and medical clinic are also projected to open in the future.

Legacy Global Development Shares Its Top Reasons to Invest in a Beachfront Vacation Condo

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Legacy Global Development, the developer of the luxurious Orchid Bay, Belize community, shares its insider knowledge on why investing in a beachfront condo is a smart investment, in a blog post titled, "Top 4 Reasons to Invest in a Beachfront Condo."

"As vacation rentals are becoming the better, more affordable alternative to hotels, real estate investors are jumping on this very intriguing and potentially lucrative trend," said Chris Williams, CEO of Legacy Global Development. "Thanks to rental portals such as Airbnb, HomeAway, and VRBO, there are hundreds of millions of vacation rental users worldwide, and these rentals are expected to topple the hotel industry."

"As a result of this growing trend, we've received more demand from buyers for beachfront real estate at Orchid Bay, Belize in the last year alone - more than we've seen in all of the previous years combined since we've taken over as the developer in 2016."

According to Williams, Beachfront Condos in Belize and other Caribbean and Latin American counties are appealing to real estate investors for many reasons. It can bring a high return on investment, a reliable income stream, and personal access to a desirable vacation locale.

According to the blog post, some of the top benefits of investing in a beachfront condo include:

* It exposes the buyer to lower risk than other types of real estate. Vacation homes in top tourist destinations attract many guests, so there's less effort to maintain high occupancy levels, and owners can charge higher nightly rates.

* Vacationers prefer to rent a condo because it's similar to staying at a hotel. There are on-site amenities and activities that bring people together for shared social experiences, whereas renting a beach house or villa does not offer that same advantage.

* A beachfront condo serves as a dual-use property that owners can rent out during peak travel times, and can stay at and enjoy the home with their family and friends at other times throughout the year.

* Many investors claim that their rental income from peak periods alone covers their condo expenses - like loan payments, property tax, insurance, and repairs - for the entire year.

* Thanks to real estate appreciation, beachfront condo owners are usually able to sell the property at a higher price than it was purchased for. These profits can then be used to invest in another property.

* Vacationers want to be as close to the beach as possible, and renting a beachfront condo is usually more affordable than staying at a beach resort or renting a beach house or villa.

The current surge in vacation home sales at Orchid Bay is directly related to Belize's rapidly growing tourism. Additionally, real estate buyers are attracted to Belize because contracts are in English, there are low property taxes, and no estate or capital gains taxes.

Tower-C is the third Beachfront Condo being built at Orchid Bay and will feature updated enhancements including high-end finishes, an open concept layout, an elevator, and is only steps away from the Caribbean Sea. Each Condo comfortably sleeps four - six people and has two private outdoor terraces, at least one which provides unobstructed water views.

Orchid Bay also offers Condo owners the option to participate in its Rental Program. This rental management program comes with a three-year rental guarantee and includes all marketing, logistics, and communication with renters.
