From Yoga Studios to Sea-View Condos: Mirna Waight’s Unique Path to Leading Belize Coastal Real Estate

When you entrust a major life decision like buying or selling in Belize to a real estate professional, you want more than a license—you want a leader who has earned their stripes in service, resilience, and results. That’s why the story of Mirna Waight—now Broker/CEO of Belize Coastal Real Estate—resonates. From therapeutic yoga and sports coaching to overseeing resort sales and guiding clients to sea-view condos across Ambergris Caye, Mirna’s path blends people-first values with operational excellence.

In this profile, you’ll discover how Mirna’s diverse background shaped a distinctive approach to real estate, how she reimagined an established brokerage to better serve Belize’s coastal markets, and what that means for your next move on Ambergris Caye and beyond.

Who is Mirna Waight?

Mirna Waight is a Belize City–born industry leader whose career began in hospitality at 19 and spanned the Bahamas, the United States, the Virgin Islands, and other destinations. By 25, she was managing two hotels and the largest dive operation in the Caribbean, later serving as Corporate Controller for a hotel management company that grew to 21 properties and as a key executive for one of the largest development companies in Florida overseeing finances and project accounting for 42 companies.

After returning to Belize, Mirna opened a therapeutic yoga studio, taught tennis and sports at a private school, became one of the first ITF Level 1 Tennis Coaches in Belize, and earned certification as a volleyball coach. She also ran the country’s oldest social club with tennis courts, a bar, and a restaurant. Six years later, fate drew her to San Pedro, where real estate became her new calling. Within five years she rose to Managing Agent—and then purchased the brokerage. With over a decade in Belize’s real estate industry, Mirna leads a hand-picked team at Belize Coastal Real Estate, bringing local knowledge, business acumen, and a deep commitment to community.

Shaping Belize Coastal Real Estate’s Identity

From Sandy Point Real Estate to a broader vision

Belize Coastal Real Estate began as Sandy Point Real Estate, originally managing sales and resales within the Sandy Point Resorts family while also serving other properties on Ambergris Caye. As listings beyond the resort portfolio grew, market confusion arose about the firm’s independence. After acquiring the brokerage, Mirna Waight led a strategic rebrand to Belize Coastal Real Estate—clearly defining it as an independent, full-service brokerage with the expertise and reach to serve coastal regions across Belize. The company continues to have the confidence of Sandy Point Resorts to showcase and market their listings while operating with an expanded, independent direction.
