Where Fun Rules and Time Stands Still!
If you’re convinced that time is going by at a faster pace than it did just a year ago, you’re in good company, says Cindy Lustig, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan. Think back to the days you watched the clock tick down when you were stuck in a classroom! What changes our perception of days, weeks, and years? Our brains, Lustig reports. They’re designed to record change impacted by how many experiences we pack into our days.
Happily, it’s been proven that you can “slow time down” by inviting your brain to experience new things. One of the best ways to do that is by taking a vacation to a place that offers enough sensory pleasure to your brain and body that it does feel as though time slows down. A great place to find out for yourself exactly how powerful getting away from the ordinary feels is by targeting an off-the-beaten-path destination like Hopkins, Belize, a relatively close, English-speaking destination that promises to give your brain the vacation it needs!
Why Hopkins makes the ideal July 2025 vacation destination
Whether you’re fascinated by new cultural experiences, you want nothing more than to spend your holiday dressed in a swimsuit, or you prefer a place that gives you a bevy of options, find your bliss in Hopkins, located in Belize's Stann Creek District.
Immerse yourself in everything that fills your hours with joy by staying at Belizean Dreams Resort, where you’ll be treated to a variety of perks that include all inclusive packages that leave you free to do as you please without worrying about the details of your getaway.
Peruse Belizean Dreams’ “5 reasons to stay” page to see just how many benefits you can expect, and you’ll realize that one of the best advantages of staying at this award-winning property is that every guest is encouraged to customize their stay to suit their lifestyle. Further, every aspect of a sojourn at Belizean Dreams guarantees memories that are simply unforgettable.
Three great ways to spice up your visit:
- July is the month that gives lobster addicts opportunities to indulge in this luscious crustacean non-stop when Lobsterfest takes place throughout the nation. If you visit between July 4th and July 6th, 2025, you'll find yourself right in the middle of the Placencia Peninsula's celebration, so consider a combination stay with our sister resort, Laru Beya, located on the Placencia Peninsula.
- Attend the annual Benque Fiesta taking place between July 11th and 13th. This cultural celebration is awash in music, food, traditional dances, parades, fireworks, and a celebration of faith that never disappoints. You can even visit Xunantunich during the day and then attend the fair briefly in the evening. How to get to either celebration? Just ask a Belizean Dreams staffer.
Importantly, respect your budget and save time by availing yourself of deals that reduce the cost of your escape dramatically. That said, act immediately since Belizean Dreams fills fast during Lobsterfest, and because you are eager to experience the phenomenon of time standing still while you and your travel party have the time of your lives!
