ADVERTORIAL

Imagine a place where the lush embrace of the Mayan Mountains meets the spirit of adventure—this is Caputie Residences. Here, Patrick H. Perrine and Akshay Nair, a gay couple, are cultivating an unprecedented eco-luxury LGBTQ+ inclusive village in the vibrant heart of Belize.

Extending its branches across the Caribbean and Central America, we are nurturing a new way of living that intertwines the threads of diversity, sustainability, and luxury into a tapestry of community life unimagined until now. Each step we take in developing Caputie Residences draws on our personal and shared experiences: from Akshay's journey as an immigrant from India, bringing a decade of life having lived in Europe, and his expertise as a director of talent acquisition at a Silicon Valley technology company, to my own as a seasoned entrepreneur, author, and investor.

With over 20 years in real estate development, including being an early-stage investor of misterb&b, we bring a commitment to creating spaces that embody the joy and freedom of the LGBTQ+ community.

Why Belize, and Why Now?

The answer lies in the country's allure. Belize is a gem waiting to be discovered. Known as "The Jewel" by those who have fallen in love with its charm, Belize offers an unparalleled blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that resonates deeply with the LGBTQ+ community. As the only English-speaking country in Central America, Belize opens its arms to visitors with its biodiverse rainforests, majestic Mayan ruins, and the second-largest barrier reef in the world.

But what sets Belize apart is its progressive stance on LGBTQ+ rights, making it a beacon of positivity in the Caribbean. Belize has made significant strides toward equality and inclusivity in recent years, creating a safe and vibrant space for the LGBTQ+ community and allies alike.

Belize, a top expat and tourist destination in the Caribbean and Central America, promises ease and opportunity. English is the national language, and USD is widely accepted, making it a convenient and accessible paradise. Ideally situated in the central time zone, Belize City is just a 2.5-hour flight from major cities like Houston or Miami.

This gem, nestled along the famous Hummingbird Highway and only 30 minutes from the pristine Caribbean Sea and beaches, blends untouched jungles and the world's second-largest barrier reef, offering the best of both rainforest and beach lifestyles. Belize's climate, with an annual average of 73 - 86 F and 11-13 hours of daylight all year, is nothing short of idyllic.

Introducing Caputie Residences: A Vision of Inclusive Paradise

Caputie Residences is born out of a desire to offer something truly unique – an eco-luxury village where LGBTQ+ individuals and allies can live, vacation, and thrive in an environment that champions sustainability and diversity. Situated in the heart of Belize's natural beauty, Caputie is a sanctuary where privacy, luxury, and harmony with nature go hand in hand.

As we prepare to break ground this summer, our vision is to create a space that is not just a place to stay but a vibrant community. A place where you can unwind in the tranquility of the rainforest, explore the wonders of Belize, and feel a profound sense of belonging. By 2026, we anticipate Caputie Residences will become a featured misterb&b property, offering a slice of paradise to travelers seeking authentic, inclusive experiences.

Adventure is never far away, with activities such as zip-lining, hiking, and exploring waterfalls like Angel Falls and Dreaming Giant Waterfalls all under an hour away. Immerse yourself in the Belizean way of life with local favorites like Ms. Bertha’s tamales or a visit to Sherry's Creamery Corner.

Designing the Dream: Caputie Residences’ Unique Architecture

Nestled among the verdant embrace of the Mayan Mountains, Caputie Residences is more than a collection of villas; it is a symphony of nature, design, and luxury. These six off-grid EcoLux villas span 26 acres of some of the most breathtaking terrain in Belize, each sitting on over an acre of land, ensuring privacy and tranquility for every resident.

With panoramic views and a backdrop of coconut and citrus farms, Caputie offers a slice of paradise. With its Balinese Pavilion design, each villa invites nature inside, with options for a custom wellness pavilion.

The Vision of Caputie Residences Unfolds

As you venture along the famous Hummingbird Highway, acclaimed as the most beautiful drive in Belize, you will find Caputie Residences gracing the landscape with over 600 feet of frontage. The journey to the mountain's peak is as enchanting as the destination itself, with each villa boasting panoramic views that capture the essence of this incredible country.

Surrounded by neighboring fruit farms, the air is sweet with the scent of coconut and citrus, hinting at the abundance of fresh, local produce at your doorstep. The land itself is a treasure, dotted with an array of trees, including the regal Coconut Palm, the storied Mahogany, and the resilient Gum Trees. This botanical haven is also a sanctuary for the rich wildlife of Belize, allowing for an immersive experience in the heart of the jungle.

A Closer Look at the Caputie Residence Villa

The design of each Caputie Residence villa is a marvel of architectural beauty, featuring an open-air concept that embodies the Balinese Pavilion style. Imagine stepping into a space where the lines between indoors and outdoors are artistically blurred, inviting the lush landscape into your living experience.

Every aspect of the villas has been thoughtfully considered to maximize comfort and sustainability. From the natural cooling properties of the thatched roofs to the intelligent use of local materials that lend both beauty and functionality to the structure, Caputie Residences is a testament to eco-friendly luxury.

Living in Harmony with Nature

The privilege of residing in Caputie Residences is not just in the beauty of the villas but also in the daily communion with nature. Here, the tropical forest is not just a backdrop but a living, breathing element of the living space. The natural topography and flora are integral to the design, ensuring that each villa uniquely celebrates its environment.

The commitment to sustainability extends beyond architectural design. Renewable energy sources, rainwater harvesting, and other green technologies are core to the Caputie philosophy, ensuring that your living experience is as kind to the earth as indulgent.
