What Does It Mean to Own an Overwater Hotel? The Lina Point Structure Explained
<h2>One Resort, Multiple Ownership Layers</h2>
<p>Lina Point Resort is structured as a multi-ownership property — which creates flexibility for buyers but some complexity worth understanding before you inquire. Here is the full breakdown.</p>
<h2>The Resort (Full Acquisition) — $2,100,000</h2>
<ul>
<li>The 3-story hotel building (9 operating suites)</li>
<li>The Wild Flour Bakery (lobby level)</li>
<li>The pool bar</li>
<li>The Mayan Restaurant (full-service restaurant on property)</li>
<li>Private sandbar off the dock</li>
<li>Multiple docks with boat tie-up capacity</li>
<li>All FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) in operating condition</li>
<li>Booking systems, guest CRM, and brand assets</li>
<li><strong>Management rights on the 5 overwater cabanas — 30% of all reservation revenue from day one</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The transfer is via IBC share purchase. The hotel buyer does not own the cabanas outright — they inherit the management contracts, which entitle the hotel operator to 30% of every cabana booking in perpetuity.</p>
<h2>The Overwater Cabanas — From $400,000 Each</h2>
<p>Five individually titled glass-floor overwater cabanas are available for purchase separately from the resort. Each is a standalone freehold property with its own title. Cabana buyers own their unit outright and receive 70% of reservation revenue net of management fees.</p>

<h2>Can One Buyer Acquire Everything?</h2>
<p>Yes. A buyer could acquire the resort, all five cabanas, and all three lots in a single transaction — complete control of the Lina Point compound.</p>
<h2>The Permit Situation</h2>
<p>The five overwater cabanas were constructed under permits that predate Belize's current coastal development regulations. New overwater structures of this type cannot be permitted under current rules — these five units represent a category of Belize real estate that cannot be replicated by new construction.</p>
<h2>Next Steps</h2>
<p>After a brief qualification call, qualified buyers are invited for a site visit — typically within 2–4 weeks. Fly into San Pedro (SPR); the resort is a golf-cart ride north of the bridge.</p>
