Blancaneaux Lodge
BelizeBlancaneaux Lodge is a luxury hideaway hotel located in a secluded corner of the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve in western Belize’s Cayo District. This means that guests can expect tranquility during their stay - look out for GM Bernie who has been with the hotel for the past two decades.
Twenty thatched cabanas and villas dot the banks of the Privasson River, giving guests easy access to the ever-present breeze from the forest. Rooms come with either a screened-in porch with hammock, or a huge private deck for guests to be lulled to sleep by the sounds of nature. All rooms feature wicker and mahogany furniture to blend in seamlessly with the jungle surroundings.
There’s a freshwater infinity pool surrounded by a stone patio where handcrafted mahogany sun loungers line the edge of the water. The adults-only spa, set right on the bank of the river, is an idyllic setting for guests to unwind.
Guests at Blancaneaux Lodge can pick their dinner from the garden. Book an evening with the gardener for him to take you around and later, dine on the produce you’ve selected.
