The first hideaway created by Francis Ford Coppola in Belize. Located in the pine ridge on the mountain top with both broad leaf and pine plants surrounding the remote lodge, Blancaneaux is just off the beaten path enough to feel as if you are on safari in Belize and immersed in nature and local culture. An intimate resort spread over more than 17 acres and flanking the Privassion Creek for guests to enjoy the sounds and take a refreshing dip, the twenty accommodations including one bedroom cottages and two bedroom villas offer the utmost in privacy and in nature bathing. Wake up to the sounds of over 400 species of local birds, explore the local fauna, nearby waterfalls accessed via our hiking trail on site, enjoy three dining locations on-site - Montagne restaurant, the organic farm dining experience and our Guatemalan cuisine restaurant. The lodge also offers a spa specializing in Thai massage treatments. Two pools. And a passionate staff of concierge to book the countless excursions to Maya ruins and other adventures often guided by our own in house teams of professional guides. Special accommodations include private pools and private attendants. Ideally one stays at Blancaneaux Lodge on the mountain in the Cayo district and combines it with our sister hotel, Turtle Inn, on the sea - a ridge to reef complete Belize experience.
