As “bleisure” travel becomes a buzzword for people who want to extend a work trip into a holiday, Belize is trying to take things to the next level with “Belizesure” travel.
A new campaign from the Central American country’s tourism board has led to the creation of the Belizesure Coworking Bungalow, where guests can work away from home in an amazing overwater bungalow that looks far more like the ideal vacation home than an office.

For anyone who thinks that sounds like the perfect working holiday, three winners of a competition will be flown to Belize, where they can take an all-expenses-paid, five-day trip to work out of the bungalow on the private island resort of Tobacco Caye. If you want to apply, email belizesure@gmail.com and explain why you should get to work there before 9 April. The only catch is you have to be over 18 and living in the USA. See the full rules here.

Of course, you may have to do some work while you are there, but you will be able to do it with your feet in the water and a drink in your hand. Even if you are “working” in the office space, it may be best to warn your boss that not a lot will get getting done.
