The Orchid Bay philosophy is "A rising tide raises all ships." With development brings progress and the opportunity to create programs designed to enhance and protect Belizean culture, environment and community.

The wooden boats plying the waters of the Bay of Chetumal where Orchid Bay is located are hand crafted in Sarteneja, a local fishing village. Assisting the craftsmen in preserving this age old tradition is another way Orchid Bay seeks to be a good neighbor.

For the creatures inhabiting the bay, Orchid Bay will work with conservation organizations. Ultimately, Orchid Bay could be home to a marine biology study center with special facilities designed to help preserve the manatee population.

In addition to providing employment to residents from nearby Sarteneja and Chunox, Orchid Bay is working to enhance educational opportunities and improved healthcare. By coordinating efforts to establish a waste management program for the area, Orchid Bay ensures a better quality of life for everyone and protects the environment, while securing the property values.
